Robust Testing Tools for the Enterprise

By Deborah Collins
Nov 1, 2009
The v-model of software development is the most famous among all other models available to develop software products. The model's flexibility to execute the development and testing phases in parallel is the main reason behind its popularity. A test automation tool increases overall testing efficiency when it works well with the QA methodology used by the development team. Features like documentation support and metrics generation are also provided by these test tools.

Many projects run parallel in many software organizations. Therefore to track the QC activities for all of them from a centralized point becomes tedious. Also, overlooking QC activities is not recommended; so, a centralized test automation which can manage parallel running testing projects in an organization is highly desirable in software organizations.

Sometimes, project cost exceeds budget constraints because of delay in project testing. In order to manage software projects within allotted budgets, it is important to keep testing costs under control. For this, a robust test automation tool is imperative in the organization.

Today, there are test automation tools that are highly efficient and are capable of bringing down overall cost and time of product development to the tune of 10-20%. Resource allocation activities within the team are also carried out by such efficient tools.

In order to bring down costs by having no test resources or infrastructure to manage, the SaaS test platforms were introduced. They are highly efficient when it comes to working within budgets. Today SaaS hosted testing platforms are provided for software organizations. These test platforms cater to all requirements related to QA methodologies, multiple resource handling and minimizing project costs.

The SaaS test platforms also support features like test metrics, test case management, test documentation etc. They can also seamlessly integrate with existing tools like JIRA or BUGZILLA also. SaaS test platforms are capable of supporting other test tools features or can work independently too.
