SQA TeamTest for Windows GUI Client/Server Applications

• Managed Test Cycles
  Multiple testers can be network-connected to a shared Test Repository that organises the entire test environment. Testers enter their Test Plans through SQA :Manager's Windows interface that allows test procedures and test cases to be associated with particular modules and programs of the application-under-test. This allows for rapid identification of which test procedures must be re-run when independent components of the application change during the test-it/fix-it/retest-it QA cycle.
• Rapid test creation
  Test Development is highly productive and intuitive. While the tester exercises the application-under-test, SQA: Robot records the users actions through a unique Object-Oriented Recording technology that records objects, not just simple mouse movements and keystrokes.During the recording session, the tester interactively inserts test cases from a large inventory of options (e.g. window/region bitmap compares, alphanumeric and numeric tests, file existence checks and comparisons, DDE monitoring, etc.).SQA:Robot generates test scripts in Visual Basic, so scripts are completely editable and extensible through the power of a standard, well-known language.
• Reduce testing time
  Test execution is compiled for speed, and can be interactive or completely unattended.
• Precision Testing
  Test results are easily analysed through automatically created reports. An Image Compactor in SQA Robot allows for rapid pixel-by-pixel inspection of bitmaps.
• Fact-based quality measurement
  All unexpected results are automatically monitored along an incident problem-resolution tracking cycle in SQA: Manager. Summary reporting and analysis provides effective test cycle progress and coverage measurement.
• Team co-ordination and communication
  Team testing is enabled through the networked Test Repository which consolidates the test procedures and results from multiple testers. Any PC on the network can be a station for test development, execution and/or tracking and reporting.
• Object Oriented Recording
  The record/playback paradigm is well recognised as the most intuitive and productive approach for creating test procedures. It even allows test development by non-programmers. However, traditional "first-generation" implementations that only record mouse actions and keystrokes are inadequate for Windows.
  SQA:Robot uses a new generation of recording technology: Object-Oriented Recording. It is unique because it records the user's actions at the Windows object layer. There are two main benefits:
  1. The test script consists of meaningful statements and keywords. It is fully editable. This allows for easy documentation, refinement and maintenance of test procedures.
  2. Because test playback (i.e. execution) is also Object-Oriented and directly sends messages to Windows objects (instead of just replaying mouse movements and keystrokes) test scripts are highly reliable.
     Test procedures are insulated from environmental differences (e.g., windows change size/position) or cosmetic changes to the application-under-test (e.g., menus items are rearranged or Windows controls moved). This minimises the maintenance of test procedures as the application changes during testing cycles.
     Object-Oriented Recording provides record/playback productivity in a model optimised for Windows.
• Extensible, Standard Script Language
  SQA:Robot generates its test scripts in Microsoft Visual Basic, a de facto industry standard language, approaching 1,000,000 copies sold world-wide. Testers can take full advantage of Visual Basic's power and add-on products when refining their test scripts-for example, SQA:Robot test procedures can make direct calls to MS-Test functions. And because Visual Basics programs compile to EXE. files, test execution is fast.
• Test Cycle Tracking and Reporting
  Test Cycle Tracking and Reporting SQA:Manager provides a powerful mechanism for analysing the large volume of data inherent in the GUI testing.
  SQA:Robot's test results are automatically stored in Test Repository. Unexpected results are tracked through a customisable incident-problem-resolution workflow cycle.
  Because test procedures can be associated with specific parts of the application-under-test, it's easy to determine the tests that must be re-run when modules of the application change. Any tester can, at any time, view and annotate the status of their work. Flexible summary reporting allows analysis of test results and test progress tracking throughout numerous testing cycles.
• TeamTesting Architecture
  The key to SQA's team testing architecture is a network-based Test Repository. The Test Repository consolidates test development and test results from an unlimited number of manned or unattended test execution stations throughout the network. Any PC can be a station for test development, test execution, test results analysis, and/or incident-problem-resolution tracking. This network architecture is unique among test tools; however, SQA products can also operate independently on stand-alone machines.
