Original Press Release:
Tri Sense Technology Takes GUI Applications Testing to the Next Level
Original Software releases powerful new testing capability for SQL Server, Oracle & IBM DB2 Users
Lombard, IL - June 04, 2003: Original Software, creators of some of the world's most innovative and widely used testing solutions for UAT and QA teams, have released version 3.1 of their leading GUI application testing solution, TestGUI. The latest version uses a brand new combination of technologies called Tri Sense technology - a development that enables some of the most penetrating and comprehensive cross-platform GUI testing available.
TestGUI leads the field in innovative GUI testing capabilities for SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2 users, offering easy-to-use functional and regression testing capabilities for user acceptance and QA testers. Its simple user interface eliminates the need to learn a scripting language - making it instantly accessible to even the least technical of end users. This also enables much easier script maintenance. Yet beneath this lies a powerful level of script controlling that also meets the needs of the most technically advanced QA teams.
TestGUI captures and analyses individual screen components and related actions, to build a complete picture of GUI screen content and activity - one that does not depend upon pixel-specific screen record & playback. Major languages and technologies supported in the latest release include: Microsoft .NET, Microsoft COM/ActiveX, Cool:Plex, Seagull J Walk and all Microsoft VB and C++ objects and controls.
The new Tri Sense technology enables TestGUI to use three methods to identify and interrogate (1) Microsoft standard objects (using class rules); (2) Microsoft Active Accessibility objects & controls (using the IAccessible Interface; and (3) Microsoft Component Object Model (COM/ActiveX) objects, using COM rules. This powerful combination enables TestGUI to capture full content and input details for a huge array of object types with a minimal amount of configuration.
In addition to this wide-reaching and comprehensive object type support, TestGUI leads the field in compatibility with the most commonly used databases underlying GUI applications. Integration with Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2 databases enables TestGUI users to store test scripts, results and data on the server, where these resources can be easily accessed by all relevant members of a development team.
Stuart Bishop, product development manager for Original Software, comments: 'We are very proud of the level and detail of coverage we have achieved in this latest release of TestGUI. Tri Sense makes the product more than capable of out-performing the most established GUI testing solutions in the marketplace - without taking into account its cross-platform server capabilities.'
TestGUI version 3.1 is available immediately from Original Software. Price packages start at US$4500 per concurrent user.
About TestGUI
TestGUI uses innovative technology to capture and analyse the events and activities performed within a GUI application, interrogating the application at the object level. Test results are displayed in a comprehensive but user-friendly format combining detailed tabular content and input information with a graphic representation of the screen and its elements. TestGUI is designed for ease of use (it is not necessary to learn a scripting language) but its underlying technology will satisfy the most technical of users. In its strongest configuration, TestGUI integrates with TestBench for iSeries, offering IBM iSeries users complete and automated tracking, testing, checking and verification of all server processes, plus data extraction and maintenance, environment protection, central script and results storage and much more - as well as thorough testing of the PC processes.
