BruceTek - Test Automation Solutions - Overview

A popular buzz phrase, 'Test Automation' is something that many want but just may not know why.  BruceTek's commitment to quality and excellence assures you that we will not just throw a system down and say you are automated.  We will carefully review your needs, your current practices, a migration path, and if you even need automation and where or where not to apply it.

Automation is much more than just plopping down a tool and writing some scripts.  Any organization committed to quality will ensure they have a proper design and framework for the overall suite of automation.  Most tools claim to offer much, but if you look at their actual results you will find that it is money wasted that you will never get back.  Avoiding more buzz words like TCO, it is actually very costly not just for the initial adoption of most tools but additionally for the poor support in place as well as the gaping short comings of most offerings.  BruceTek has evaluated many tools and and continues to evaluate and compare but this much is certain.  What your organization needs is a product by a company that has a vision for quality and a commitment to excellence that goes beyond a laundry list of features that each are poorly implemented.  The UNIX philosophy is, 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.'  These principles additionally apply to good personal interaction and team collaboration.

An overall strategy is vital to choosing an automated testing solution that includes:

• reuse of scripts and tests
• flexible reporting and logging
• modularity in your overall design
• utilizing multiple 'levels' of testing such as unit, functional, security, and GUI
• a migration path not just for your testing (which includes training of personnel) but for development as well.  Good automation of testing lends to proper design and implementation of software to be 'automatable'.  This increases flexibility an reuse of the software and cuts your initial development costs as well as your maintenance costs.
