Smartesting Launches Test Designer 3.4

26.05.2009
Smartesting has released Test Designer - version 3.4, its automatic model-based functional test generation solution. This new version, developed using "Agile" methodologies, is reportedly based on enhanced use of the tool and superior integration with the testing platforms available on the market. In order to better respond to the financial requirements of major systems integrators, Test Designer now has a new marketing model that will help reduce the initial investment of clients in order to obtain earlier Return on Investment. Test Designer, a patented solution that took more than 150 person-years to develop, facilitates the design and production of functional tests and helps accelerate software validation projects.

The new version 3.4 of Test Designer comes with three major improvements:

• Creation of test models is simplified through new services, which simulate the behaviour of the model and specify expected test results;

• Addition of test to the repository is made easier through explicit description of tests in natural language; this opens the solution to less technical user profiles and provides the possibility of executing tests either manually or automatically;

• A new editor dedicated to the solution and integrated in Eclipse, which helps users be more productive in Model-based testing.

"Our objective is to improve access to model-based test generation for testers through a simplified model development and to increase integration of our solution in the software testing value chain with HP, IBM and Borland solutions" explains Emmanuel Vergé, Product Marketing Director.

In addition, Smartesting says it is continuing to improve the integration of its solution with the main test environments of the market; in particular, a beta release of the connector to HP Business Process Test solution, the reusable component-based solution of HP Quality Center, is now available.
