TestWorks

- TestWorks/Regression is a complete solution for automating and managing execution and verification of tests on text and GUI based applications. Capture/Playback has integrated and switchable True-Time and Object-Mode operation. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) verification is available in both playback modes.

- CAPBAK/X has Automatic Output Synchronisation and Automatic Object Extraction to assure low-overhead, hands-off test recording while still assuring maximum playback reliability. Fully editable and programmable ``C'' language scripts.

- TestWorks/Regression also offers automated load generation from a single workstation for multi-user client-server applications (using Xvirtual), and has a sophisticated test management component to control test execution and verification (SMARTS).

- TestWorks/Coverage tools indicate where testing is incomplete by measuring how well test cases exercise programs written in C, C++, Ada or FORTRAN (F77). Test coverage is reported at branch (C1), function-call (S1) (with TCAT for C-C++, and S-TCAT for Ada and F77) and path class [verification condition] (Ct) (with TCAT-PATH) levels. Using recursive descent compiler technology, TestWorks/Coverage handles all standard constructs and dialects of C and C++. Standard Ada and F77 are also fully supported.

- TCAT provides colour annotatable graphical displays of complex call tree and individual programs digraphs, with source viewing to source-line level. User-defined annotation functions are available. Animation of tests with T-SCOPE (coupled with TCAT-PATH provide a high-end near-verification level of test coverage.

- TestWorks/Advisor improves productivity, resource management, quality and predictability by providing static source code analysis (STATIC) and complexity measurement (METRIC). Seventeen software metrics measure a program's data, logic and size complexity more thoroughly than a compiler, aiding in objective, quantitative testing resource management.

- TDGEN's test data/file generation more fully tests your application. Tests are expanded from templates and user-supplied enumeration-type value tables, using either sequential or random mode value selection.

TestWorks for Windows

- TestWorks/Regression for Windows is composed of two tool systems which operate independently or as an integrated set: CAPBAK/MSW and SMARTS/MSW. CAPBAK/MSW is a full-featured capture/playback system which supports TrueTime Mode and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) verification for completely automated regression testing. CAPBAK/MSW includes the powerful Automatic Output Synchronization technology to insure that testers' recordings can be made with minimum, totally hands-off, effort and still have maximum playback reliability.

- CBDIFF, a built-in component of CAPBAK/MSW, verifies bitmaps captured during a recording session and automatically compares them with the actual images at playback. With Optical Character Recognition verification, CBDIFF determines a successful test based on ASCII values extracted from bitmap images disregarding differences in font, type size, and background colour.

- SMARTS/MSW, a powerful sophisticated test management tool, controls user-defined automated C-language test scripts and provides for fully unattended execution of tests. Using the industry's first true relational test-tree method, user-selected tests are run in groups or sub-groups as appropriate.

 - TestWorks/Coverage for Windows provides measurements to determine how well test cases exercise a program written in C and C++ by identifying where testing is incomplete at the unit, system and integration levels. It uses two measurements to ensure the thoroughness of test cases: logical branch (C1) for unit testing, and function-call (S1) for system and integration tests. Using recursive descent compiler technology, TestWorks/Coverage is easily able to handle all standard constructs and dialects of C and C++.
