Explain TestPartner - a GUI Software Testing Tool?


- TestPartner was developed by Micro Focus as a software testing tool especially for testing the graphical user interface (GUI) of the software systems and applications. 
- This testing tool was developed with the intention of empowering the software developers to functionally automate the GUIs of the AUTs. 
- The primary goal was to make the team capable of performing more application testing in a given time period as compared to the manual testing that could be performed in same amount of time. 
- TestPartner offers two basic methods for functional testing:
  1. Code oriented development and
  2. Visual story board based development
- Recently, the TestPartner version 6.3.0 has been released. 
- It is great product for accelerating the testing process and delivering high quality applications well before the deadline.
- IT managers who have the responsibility of ensuring the quality of the application need to deal with several business challenges that are critical such as:
Ø  Verification of the functionality of the functions i.e., whether or not they are working as expected and meet the business requirements.
Ø  Testing of the multiple heterogeneous technologies simultaneously.
Ø  Keeping up with the fast paced release schedules that are ever changing.
Ø  Striking a balance between the application quality and the associated risks.

- TestPartner provides such functional testing capabilities that very well accelerate the testing process and enables the timely successful delivery of the software.
- This it is known to do at a low cost but with no compromise in the quality. 
- TestPartner achieves this through its unique tiered testing approach. 
- The main feature of this approach is that following it can make it possible for the testers and developers to achieve more in the given time through effective collaboration.
- This software product is even beneficial for the non – technical users. 
- The visual and the contextual approach of the TestPartner lets the non – technical users to be a part of the testing process. 
- For the expert software developers and testers it provides the access to microsoft’s visual basic for the AUTs. 
- This gives them power to cope with the most complex testing problems. 
- TestPartner maintains a special flexibility and focus on the usability of the application allowing the developers to produce more positive results with minimal requirement of training.
- It helps leverage the experienced as well as the non – technical testers to test the applications more efficiently. 
- It encourages the collaboration throughout the development cycle thus achieving greater project effectiveness. 
- Using TestPartner one can even automate the regression testing process, thus quickening the acceptance of the regular updates such as services packs and patches. 
- The documentation produced by the TestPartner is quite clear and free of any ambiguity. - This further accelerates the resolution and identification of various issues related to the application under testing. 
- It makes easy for you to understand the test results so that you feel confident in releasing the software. 
- These test results can be can be used for maintaining the tests, providing better ROI. 
- One can improve the quality of the application leading to lower overall development cost. 
Quality efforts can be accelerated for a number of platforms such as:
  1. Web
  2. .net
  3. Java
  4. SAP
  5. Oracle
  6. Other windows – based distributed applications.
