Notes de l'éditeur
- First, for those of you who are not familiar with CM First, here is an overview.
- Automated testing is a technology that can radically alter the economics of software development. Investment in this technology can enable you to provide better software quality, both more rapidly and at a lower cost.First, use of a team based product can remove the technical barriers that make collaboration difficult. In many cases QA, development, and the business users do their work in silos, with little interaction. Just think about the possibilities of a team environment. In this environment, users can automatically send screens and data to recreate a problem to QA, who verifies the issue and sends notes to development. Development can then run the same automated scripts to verify that the problem is fixed. Secondly, in today software world, there are often several enterprise applications that must communicate and be tested as interconnected systems. However, expanding the automated QA process to cover applications with different presentations running on different platforms can be very difficult. Cross platform tooling can make this much easier to accomplish.Third, the act of implementing a new system version or new package is in itself very costly. Automation can reduce this cost by driving down the time required to put a new version into production, an activity that is often repeated several times during the life span of the application.These all add up to one primary benefit – reducing the total lifetime cost of ownership for your software assets, be they applications developed in house with CA technologies, other enterprise applications, or enterprise packages like SAP or PeopleSoft.
- Lets now move on to looking at the architecture of the tool. Certify is an enterprise level tool that can be utilized throughout the organization, including development, QA, and the business users. At the heart of Certify is a centralized collaboration database. This database, running on SQL Server, holds the information on all the applications under tests – from the applications maps and requirements through to test results. This collaborative approach is critical to achieving the benefits of automation – development can see exactly what the users are seeing.Integrated to the database are the interfaces to different application technologies. Certify can handle virtually any application. For standard technologies, there are generic interfaces that link to applications written in technologies as diverse as 5250, web, C#, and VB. As you will see in the demonstration, a recent new interface is CA Plex.If Certify does not handle your technology right out of the box, there is a software development kit that can be employed to define the technology to Certify. This SDK for example was employed to construct the CA Plex interface.Certify also handles popular enterprise applications out of the box. Support for SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft is strong. Process flows and application maps are handled out of the box, saving time and money on definition. For example, SAP is said to contain about 20,000 screens – you can imagine the effort to test an application of this magnitude without this type of support.
