BUSINESS ISSUE... |
| Testing procedures are costly but necessary. Indeed, numerous test phases are required to ensure a satisfactory level of reliability for your users. Automatic test tools are a useful and effective solution to help control these costs. These tools guarantee non regression of the information system through thorough and in-depth testing. In the case of regular maintenance or urgently-needed corrections, these tools are indispensable to guarantee the automatic testing of peripheral functions that may be indirectly affected by a change. |

THE ARCAD SOLUTION...
The “Verifier” module guarantees far more extensive repeated testing than could ever be achieved manually. Typically, development staff tend to concentrate on testing the modifications themselves. ARCAD-Verifier adds real value by also automatically testing all the peripheral functions that have not been modified directly, but that may be impacted by side-effects. This kind of insidious bug is dreaded by development departments as it damages their credibility with users who may be completely unaware of the original modification.
The principle is simple: you record a scenario by executing one or more application functions. Then the scenario can be replayed at any time, and the tool will automatically restore the original data context prior to scenario execution. Once a “replay” has completed, comparison reports can be generated to highlight differences detected in the user interface, in data, and in spool files.

ADVANTAGES...
This makes ARCAD-Verifier an invaluable tool for capitalizing on team knowledge and improving your process quality.
|
FEATURES...
ARCAD-Verifier has entirely original features, including:
- Instant detection of differences between versions at the man-machine interface level,
- Identification of all database modifications while a scenario is being executed,
- Automatic reinitialization of test data.
