| Multi-User Testing |
|
|
|
| Higher Testing Productivity |
1) Requires very minimal setup time 2) Ensures portability of test suites 3) The highly automated framework helps to verify implementations faster |
1) Test Engineers can start using the product almost immediately. 2) Enables testers to verify multiple test environments. 3) Reduces “time required to test” and enhancing “time to market”. |
|
| Intelligent Testing | Takes away the testing and execution load from the test engineer. | Allows the test engineer to fully focus on identifying and fixing any test failures. | |
| Effective Test Management | Enables QA Engineers with up to-the-minute status at any time during testing and without having to go through exhaustive log reports. | Helps optimize costly test resources by facilitating scheduling of selected tests at pre-defined timeframes. | |
| Zero Touch Execution |
1) Easy Test Reporting that clearly provides the Pass/Fail/Abort result. 2) Test execution details are logged for a more detailed analysis |
1) The Test Progress can be easily reviewed on screen. 2) In the event of a test failing, the detailed logs can be reviewed for problem isolation and debugging. |
|
| 24×7 Testing Capability | Supports 24*7 regression testing requirements by enabling the option to schedule for any desired time of the day. | Helps optimize test lab resources and facilities execution during non-working hours, week-ends and holidays. | |
ATTEST Client |
|||
| Result | Provides detailed test logs and packet sequences with ability to drill-down to the extent of individual decoded packets. | Easy Viewing and analyzing test results using the ATTEST Client | |
| Schedule batch execution | Schedules tests to execute a group of test cases in fully automated manner. | Reduces the load from the tester. | |
| Reporting | Provides a comprehensive report on the comparison of test cycles | Easy analysis and management of the test process. | |
