Accelerate testing and enable successful application delivery. TestPartner is an automated testing tool that accelerates functional testing and facilitates the delivery of business-critical applications. TestPartner works via a tiered approach to testing that enables developers, quality experts and non-technical application users to collaborate and test more in the time available. TestPartner's visual, contextual approach to capturing business processes empowers non-technical application users to participate in the testing process. At the same time, TestPartner provides expert testers and software developers with access to Visual Basic for Applications, allowing them to solve even the most complex testing challenges. This flexibility and focus on usability allows quality teams to produce positive results even with minimal training.

TestPartner enables IT to:

• Leverage non-technical as well as experienced testers to test applications more thoroughly in the time available
• Collaborate throughout the software development lifecycle, resulting in higher team efficiency and greater project effectiveness
• Automate regression testing to quicken acceptance of application patches, service packs, and other regular updates
• Clearly and unambiguously document test results, accelerating the identification and resolution of application issues
• Understand the results of testing, enabling confident delivery of applications that meet requirements and provide the expected business value
• Use test results to facilitate test maintenance, providing improved return on the test automation investment
• Build quality into applications earlier in the life cycle, leading to lower development and maintenance costs
• Accelerate quality efforts for a broad range of technology platforms, including Web, .NET, Java, SAP, Oracle and many other distributed Windows-based applications.

TestPartner's value is further enhanced through its tight integration with Compuware's Test Management solution, which improves application delivery by providing IT with the ability to more effectively assess and balance risk, cost, and schedule. TestPartner is also an integral component within Quality Management, which provides IT with the ability to control, measure, manage and continuously improve the delivery of higher quality applications. Quality Management's reporting and real-time insight into project quality status results in informed quality decisions, and allows IT to deploy applications with greater confidence.

Build tests without programming - TestPartner's Visual Navigator makes testing accessible to even novice users, allowing virtually anyone to be immediately productive. Within the Visual Navigator, you access panes that provide a preview of each screen being tested, the pertinent test steps for each and a storyboard view that ties it all together. As each step is selected, the corresponding control within the screen preview is highlighted, which clearly defines the automation context. Additionally, each test step has related properties that can be modified by the user or even populated via a data file to facilitate fully data-driven testing. Ultimately, this approach allows application users—who are intimately familiar with the application under test, but often lack the technical expertise to use automated testing tools—to comfortably and confidently capture business transactions, verify the proper functionality is tested and assist in updating the test when inaccuracies are found or the application changes.

Modify and customize tests even when the application isn't available - In addition to capturing a screenshot of each application window, which is displayed within the screen preview pane, TestPartner records detailed information about the controls and properties for each screen. This means you can easily augment or modify an existing test based upon the information already captured. For example, you can: 

• insert new steps directly from the screen preview (or the application under test)
• modify existing tests to perform different or additional steps
• change the action performed (e.g., replace single-click with a double-click) or the data being input
• add verifications that weren't inserted during the initial record session
• do all of this without having to re-record against the original application.

This "offline editing" capability is especially valuable for modern "workflow-driven" applications, where you might spend several minutes or more simply returning to the point where you can capture additional data or record new actions. With TestPartner, as long as the underlying application data hasn't changed, you achieve higher productivity by simply going right to the pertinent screen and making changes and additions as needed.

Build in test "intelligence" with logic designers - To test applications thoroughly, it's important to do more than simply record and playback. TestPartner comes with built-in wizards and logic designers that make it easy to build and execute sophisticated test cases. These wizards and logic designers are instantly accessible through the Logic Toolbox or via right-click menus. Users can successfully fulfill even complex test cases by adding logic that allows:

• quick creation of data-driven tests
• testing for the presence of text, images, properties, etc.
• steps to occur only when specific conditions are met
• creation and use of variable data
• repetition of test steps
• testing and verification of actual and expected results
• synchronization of the test with the application being tested
• automatic error handling

Understand and document tests and results unambiguously - TestPartner removes abstraction to give users a better understanding of what the test should automate and the actual results. You no longer have to guess. You can see exactly what each step intends to automate. Similarly, when a test exposes an application problem, the visual test results are much more efficient and effective in leading to a positive identification and resolution. You no longer have to struggle for hours to reproduce issues live. Additionally, tests can be printed to provide external documents for manual testing, user documentation and training, or archived for process compliance and auditing. Similarly, test results can be printed to provide reports that can be reviewed at meetings, aid with troubleshooting or provide evidence supporting process compliance.

Accelerate test maintenance - One of the biggest challenges with automated testing is maintaining the test assets over time. When the application changes, the test cases that correspond to that functionality need to be updated. TestPartner simplifies this effort in two ways. First, you can view results with the Visual Navigator, TestPartner's built-in screen preview that shows both the original test screen and the screen that was captured at playback, allowing you to identify critical changes in the application immediately. Second, TestPartner's one-click Update Screen feature allows application changes to be instantly captured into the visual test. For example, if you determined that a new field was added to an existing screen within the application under test, you could select the Update Screen to capture the new screen definition (along with associated properties) without having to re-record the test. By enabling you to spend less time on test maintenance and more time on testing the application thoroughly, TestPartner improves your return on investment.

Fulfill even advanced test scenarios with VBA scripting - TestPartner's visual tests provide an approach to testing that requires no programming experience, and offers more advanced capabilities for expert users via Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. The availability of VBA-based tests means expert users can work at whatever level is best suited for a given project or test—use an entirely visual approach, integrate VBA routines with visual tests to enable customization and complex text cases, or work entirely with VBA. TestPartner's VBA and visual testing features are designed to work closely in conjunction, so testers can call VBA routines at any point within a visual test, passing and returning data as necessary to fulfill the test case.VBA's rich feature-set, which includes broad debugging capabilities and Microsoft auto-completing IntelliSense™, makes users more efficient and productive than with proprietary programming languages or other feature-poor development environments.

Collaborate to communicate and operate more effectively - As test teams get increasingly distributed and incorporate application users, testers and developers, clear and effective communication becomes increasingly important. To that end, TestPartner includes a team-oriented collaboration feature that allows users to flag and describe particular items of interest within a test or test result, and assign to another user as applicable. This allows work scenarios where, for example:

An application user successfully captures a business process, and then flags and assigns it to a quality expert for inclusion within the test framework.

A member of the quality team reproduces a defect, flags the point at which the problem occurs and assigns it to a developer for investigation.

The test result appears to show a change in the application under test. A member of the quality team assigns the result to an application user to verify whether this is the expected behavior.
