AcuTest™
is the ideal software test automation solution for conducting
performance benchmarking, compatibility, functional
and latency testing for all Windows based applications,
including all Web browsers and all Web applications.
Many
Windows and Web applications contain unique on-screen
control objects that are custom developed within non-standard
environments. Software test automation tools that drive
the target application by recognizing and interacting
with its' on-screen control objects in runtime memory
fail to offer universal compatibility with their applications
of this nature.
Because
AcuTest uses an "image verification" methodology
to interact with the targeted application, this powerful
software test automation solution that is uniquely qualified
to test Windows and Windows based Web applications created
within non-standard development environments or that
contain custom control objects. AcuTest is a standalone
Windows application whose image comparison and user
input capabilities are included in the AcuTest function
set, accessed from within a Micrsoft Visual Basic 6
scripting environment. AcuTest image verification enables
a consistent and seamless approach to test scripting
and test execution for all applications running in the
Windows environment as well as the Citrix Systems remote
computing environment.
AcuTest
recognizes and evaluates the targeted Windows or Web
application's response during test script playback by
comparing the application's display to images stored
in a user-created baseline. AcuTest interacts with the
target application by issuing standard keyboard and
mouse events to the system under test (SUT) in accordance
with the user defined test script logic. AcuTest acts
as a virtual human user in that it detects, evaluates,
measures, and responds to the on-screen activity based
the model represented by the test script logic.
In
addition to its test script development capability,
AcuTest includes a recording interface that stores the
on-screen control images, along with the keyboard and
mouse actions that a user issues to interact with them,
in a self contained test script that is ready for immediate
playback.
- AcuTest
is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
NT, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, and does not
in any way modify the operating system on the system
under test.
- The
standard AcuTest function set is supplied within a
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 scripting environment.
- AcuTest
allows user-configurable image comparison logic to
account for changes in image display location during
script playback and variations in color settings on
the test platform's Display Properties.
- The
AcuTest standard functions handle all the basic scripting
tasks such as clicking on, comparing, verifying, and
waiting for display images while issuing keyboard
and mouse actions during test script playback.
- AcuTest
requires less than 10MBytes of memory to test a 1024x768
screen
- AcuTest
installs only one additional DLL on the system under
test.
- AcuTest
can be integrated with hardware to provide completely
non-intrusive testing that will support any operating
system running on any PC or thin client (see "AcuTest
NI").
- The
Tevron proprietary OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
capability, designed specifically for the requirements
of software test automation, enables text to be verified
and read from the display screen.
- The
HTML and text based result logs produce definable
levels of detail, with each entry individually time-stamped.
- AcuTest
enables quick ramp-up results with its' Record/Playback
capability
- The
AcuTest ImageManager allows the user to easily capture,
store, and edit the baseline bitmap images.
- The
AcuTest performance benchmarking response-timer functions
allow measurement of response times to within milliseconds.
- AcuTest's
image verification methodology allows for common test
script creation process across all Windows operating
systems, development environments, and custom applications.
