Automated Software Testing

Cutting corners on software testing in order to get your applications up and running faster is a risky game. On a daily basis, application quality impacts system performance, reliability, and integrity. More dramatically, one faulty program in production can cause downtime, frustration, and lost revenue.

Software researchers have found that defects discovered in production can be as much as one hundred times more expensive to fix than those found early in the design and implementation process. Without consistent testing your production software will be be less predictable and reliable. You also won’t have a solid basis for determining how effective your design and coding practices are at achieving software quality targets.

TestBench for iSeries is designed for business and IT professionals who recognise the critical importance of thoroughly tested iSeries systems - but lack the automated assistance.

TestBench maximizes software quality through better, faster and easier testing. With TestBench, you can increase productivity and efficiency, improve systems stability and quickly start to see real resource savings.

TestBench^™ for iSeries

TestBench, from Original Software, automates iSeries applications testing and addresses every testing requirement, from test data preparation to audit-ready reporting.

TestBench for iSeries offers many key features:

• Support for all development languages and configurations, including WebSphereMQ.
• Re-usable test platforms ensure that your test data is always consistent and ready to go, saving a great deal of time and effort by avoiding lengthy restores.
• Intelligent data extraction offers a simple way to create and regularly refresh a test database leaving you to concentrate on completing your development without worrying about continually creating and maintaining test data.
• The unique data scrambling facility allows you to work with sensitive data by de-identifying the confidential pieces of information.
• With the addition of TestLoad, you can enjoy the only stress/load testing solution available for the iSeries.
• Unique in-depth Unit Test capability provides "x-ray" vision for key aspects of the application operation. For example screen input and response times, data queues, job submission etc.
• Results compare, file compare, file effects, log analysis and error alerts. These proactive warnings tell the user when the expected results have not been met.
• Automated summary and detail reporting, perfect for passing back to development teams, vendors or for audit and compliance records.

TestBench delivers re-usability, which is key for success in automated testing. By combining a rules-based approach with management of test assets and Self Healing technology, it sets new standards for survivability in the face of changing applications and systems. Learn more.
