TestPartner Features and Benefits

Accomplish more testing in less time

• Rapidly verify application functionality via scheduled smoke, regression, and other functional testing in order to accelerate deployment of application releases, service packs, and other updates.

Leverage application users to test more completely

• TestPartner’s visual storyboard-based approach to testing allows application users to work together with the quality team to document business processes and create automated test cases more rapidly.

Enhance tests with productivity-boosting wizards

• Built-in logic designers and wizards enable novice users to accomplish complex tasks with ease. At the same time, they also allow expert users to complete repetitive time-consuming tasks more rapidly.

Create data-driven tests with ease

• With TestPartner's ActiveData feature, you can create a single script to input valid or non-valid data into the system and verify the results. This means fewer scripts are needed to carry out a series of test conditions and less maintenance overhead.

Thoroughly verify application functionality

• TestPartner wizards allow application functionality to be verified a number of methods, including matching of Static Text, Text Patterns, Object Properties, Control Content, Bitmaps and Response Time Values.

Document tests and test results clearly

• TestPartner provides users with detailed test documentation, which can be used for reporting, process compliance, or even as the basis for manual test documentation.

Share test assets team-wide

• All test assets are held in a shared repository, and easily accessible by all team members with appropriate user permissions. Import/Export capabilities allow assets to be shared with teams or projects working with a separate repository.

Strong object-level testing and configuration

• TestPartner provides users an extensive number of properties associated with controls, and allows them to pre-configure which ones to learn/ignore during record.

Complete development environment for tests

• TestPartner’s visual and VBA-based tests provide users with access to a powerful integrated development environment for creating, debugging, and analyzing their automated tests.

Support for heterogeneous environments

• TestPartner’s broad environment support means that enterprises that incorporate multiple technology platforms can be confident about their ability to successfully test their mission-critical applications, including those based on Microsoft, Java, Web, SAP, Oracle, and many other distributed technologies.

Integrates with Compuware Test and Quality Management 

• Derive greater benefit by managing automate tests in conjunction with your broader test management activities. In combination with Compuware’s Application Delivery solutions, you can understand exactly where you stand in a project, whether the application is ready to go into production, and continuously improve performance over time.

Test earlier to reduce costs and improve quality

• In conjunction with Compuware DevPartner, TestPartner allows organizations to test applications earlier in the lifecycle to identify and resolve issues at a lower cost, while ultimately delivering a higher-quality end product.

Test third-party .NET and ActiveX controls

• Validate any third-party .NET Control and/or ActiveX control using TestPartner's VBA test automation infrastructure. Even if your application relies on .NET and ActiveX controls made by different vendors, users can automate and test underlying properties instead of being limited to driving the objects on a positional level.
