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 automatic testing of peripheral functions that may be indirectly affected by a change. | | |
THE ARCAD SOLUTIONARCAD-Qualifier’s Verifier module guarantees more extensive and repeated testing than you can possibly achieve manually. Typically, development staff members concentrate on testing modifications. Verifier adds real value by also automatically testing all peripheral functions that have not been modified directly, but that may be impacted. Development departments dread this kind of bug, since it damages 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. You can replay the scenario at any time, and Verifier will automatically restore the original data context prior to executing the scenario. Once a “replay” is complete,
Verifier generates comparison reports that highlight differences detected in the user interface, in data, and in spool files. |
ADVANTAGESARCAD-Verifier is an invaluable tool for capitalizing on team knowledge and improving your process quality. Its unique features include: - Instant detection of differences between versions at the man-machine interface level,
- Identification of all database modifications while a scenario is being executed, and
- Automatic reinitialization of test data.
