New release extends supported environments
LOS GATOS, California, January 3rd, 2006 - Applied Testing and Technology (ApTest) announced today the general availablity of version 2.14 of its ApTest Manager product. ApTest Manager version 2.14 helps QA teams maintain the quality of software and hardware products from initial requirements through testing and deployment of product releases.
Software testing is notoriously difficult to manage. Documenting and tracking the large number of test cases involved is daunting and information can easily be lost as personnel come and go. Consistent test execution from one release to another is difficult to achieve. Comparing results for prior and current test runs is problematic and time consuming.
ApTest Manager solves these challenges by storing and tracking the tests used in software and hardware testing projects and the results of running them. Testing information becomes instantly available to everyone - always accurate, always current.

- Consistent procedures and results can be counted on across changes in products as well as in test staff.
- Test requirements, specifications, and procedures are available across the organization and can be easily administered and evolved.
- Test results and project schedules can be viewed at any time and automatically compared to results from previous tests.
ApTest Manager supports requirements and specification development, test definition, test execution and reports for testers, developers, and management. Team collaboration is enhanced through a Web-based architecture, central test repository, and a flexible work flow that is extensively customizable.
ApTest Manager's GUI lets users customize it to match their existing test process and requirements. Also users can configure ApTest Manager to integrate with their existing tools for source code control and issue tracking.
A single installation of ApTest Manager can be used enterprise-wide, supporting any number of tests for any number of products. General purpose, Web-based, and highly configurable, ApTest Manager will supercharge a QA processes' speed, productivity, and team collaboration.
