1. A proprietary framework that enables keyword-based (rather than script-based)software testing2. An automation suite that has a close correspondence to the manual test suiteand therefore is easy to change and maintain3. A proprietary continuous process to easily and automatically include testing ofnew and enhanced functionality and to eliminate obsolete old functionality4. Formal configuration management to maintain the regression test suite with thesame level of discipline as is maintained with product code development
Info ART is built on a foundation of inexpensive software components that has madeit easier, faster, and cheaper than ever for a small group of developers to bring ablockbuster web-based software idea to market." said Glenn Gramling, Senior VP Salesand Marketing for Infogain." "However, there is a big difference between an initialproduct and a sustainable business. To turn a good idea into a good company,developers have to deliver software that works for customers both initially and overtime as the idea evolves. Testing becomes a bottleneck for these companies withscarce developer resources. That is what Infogain ART is all about. It is both atechnology and a proven process that aligns with Info ART: high quality, high speed,low cost, easy to implement, easy to change, flexible and most importantly,high-leverage."
Software application companies are constantly faced with the following softwaretesting problems:
* It is performed at the end of the development cycle and is squeezed by stringentrelease dates * Software must often be released with bugs that were detected late in the testingcycle * The testing cycle is long as an automated regression test suite is either notavailable or was not maintained properly and is difficult or impossible to use* Testing on tier II and tier III platforms adds tremendous time and complexity andis therefore delayed, resulting in additional platform releases 3 to 6 months afterthe initial release* Developer resources are scarce, and are most profitably deployed (and happier)creating new and improved functionality rather than creating test code
While excellent script-based regression test tools such as WinRunner, Silk, andeTester have done much to ease initial code testing requirements, they fall short inthe real world where code is in a constant state of change as ongoing script changesrequire the same skill level as the development of the software itself.
Infogain's ART solution creates a different, keyword-based metaphor for updating andmaintaining regression test code which makes it possible for non-programmers to keepthe sophisticated regression suite up to date on a continuous basis. This automatedcontinuous regression testing increases software quality on every release, reducestime to market for both defect fixes and new or modified functionality, and enablesmulti-platform releases to happen almost simultaneously.
Additionally, Infogain's dual-shore outsourcing model with 9 of 10 technicalresources located in India makes continuous regression testing's quality and time tomarket benefits not only possible, but affordable for both large and smallapplication software companies.
Infogain's Info ART solution is designed to improve the software application testprocess for all companies who currently conduct script-based testing of web sites orweb-based software applications. The Info ART automated regression-base softwaretesting solution is available immediately.
