A Tool for Automating the Management of Manual Software Testing
LOS GATOS, California, September 23rd, 2002 - Applied Testing and Technology (ApTest) announced today the general availablity of its ApTest Manager product.
ApTest Manager is a tool for managing manual software testing. Testing is still performed manually but ApTest Manager automates the activities surrounding it, improving consistency, organization, and control throughout the test lifecycle.
- Test Definition. With ApTest Manager tests are defined on-line through a series of forms. Test information is stored for future evolution and becomes immediately available to produce test requirements and specification documents, execute repeatable comprehensive test cycles,and review and compare the results of test runs.
- Test Execution. ApTest Manager manages the process of executing software test cycles. For each test the tester is shown the requirements, procedures, and resources defined for that test. When execution of the test is complete test results are entered into ApTest Manager. Consistent procedures and results from one test run to another are thus ensured, whether the same or different personnel perform the testing.
- Test Reporting. Reports can be generated at any time for any test run showing the results of testing, both separately and incomparison to other test runs on different product configurations or versions. Test Specifications can be produced as can management reports showing test runs executed by date, test area, and tester.
A single installation of ApTest Manager can support any number of tests for any number of products. General purpose, Web-based, and highly configurable, ApTest Manager will supercharge the speed, productivity, and accessibility of information of any manual testing process.
