Dramatically improve and simplify automated testing
“Sorry, there is problem with
our software, please try again later.” You would think that with so many
businesses relying
on software and web sites these days that you
wouldn’t hear this phrase as often. You would think that companies whose very
existence depends on their software running correctly would test it
thoroughly. It turns out that testing software is an increasingly difficult
problem. Software is getting more and more complex and changing at a faster
and faster pace. These two factors make it imperative to apply automated software
testing technology to software implementations. The state of automation
improves, but is not keeping pace with the increasing need to manage and
maintain large test libraries.
No other tool
No other tool can create and maintain serious automated
test libraries faster and for less cost than TMX Test Kit™.
TMX™ technology and practices dramatically improve verification
of software against requirements in parallel with development.
TMX Test Kit™
The combination of TMX™ and powerful test automation
tools like
WinRunner™ and Silk Test™ allows you to meet critical
time-to-market with fewer bugs at a lower cost
Key Features & Benefits:
o
Modifies and regenerates all of your test scripts globally.
o Reacts
quickly and accurately to application requirement changes.
o TMX™
Database functionality drastically reduces effort required to maintain
scripts.
o Changes
impact analysis and pinpoints tests affected by changes in the application.
o
Automatic global script updates.
o
Multi-user Databases.
o Tests
can be automated, and maintained by non-technical persons untrained in technical automation tools,
and with only a few hours of training in TMX™.
Product Overview
TMX™ sits on top of an existing test regression tools (Mercury’s
WinRunner and Segue’s Silk Test are currently supported). TMX™ automates and
simplifies most of the manual processes associated with creating, running,
and executing tests of a web based and client server applications.
The software reads in the objects that make up the
application (e.g., radio buttons, entry fields, etc.) and builds an “Object
Tree” that contains all the elements that need to be tested. A business user
(as opposed to a trained testing analyst) defines what scenarios they wish to
test, then uses the TMX™ “Point & Click” interface to create the sequence of steps needed to
complete the test cases and scenarios. Then TMX™ automatically generates test
scripts in WinRunner or Silk format.
Once this process is complete, a regression library is
available that can easily be rerun. Also, any changes to objects used by the
application can be added to the TMX™ Object Tree with minimal additional
effort. When the changes to the application are identified in the Object
Tree, TMX™ identifies the tests requiring maintenance and regeneration.
This means that tests can be repaired before the new application
version is built. Without TMX™, the manpower costs and operational delays
associated with avoidable problems cause a direct increase in the time-to-market
for application changes. ScriptTech can supply Services to implement TMX™,
train test analysts and engineers to script and run your test plan.
