Other local Agitar users include EDS, Bankers Trust, the National Australia Bank, the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority, and Centrelink.

Agitar Software's Asia Pacific vice president, Jeff Pope, said the Department of Lands' focus was building new applications and on building quality in rather than getting the bugs out of completing code.

"Lands was spending a lot of time on code 'rework' and fixing bugs after applications went live," Pope said, adding since focusing on QA the department has developed a lot of bug-free code and applications build faster.

Agitar also announced this week the availability of AgitarOne, its new automated JUnit test generation suite.

AgitarOne features include automatic creation of regression test suites for legacy Java code bases, interactive unit testing, support for server-based deployments, and native support for continuous integration and testing using the open source CruiseControl.
