Codeless Automation Testing with WORKSOFT Certify: Part 1

“WORKSOFT” is a platform that engages a business expert in a collaborative methodology, as mentioned in the below simple process

“Certify” is an integrated test repository and automated test execution solution which supports the business process testing methodology. A combination of business process testing methodology and Certify allows to run the entire product life cycle parallelly and capture it in an organized, measurable, and maintainable way. Certify provides test coverage through a user-friendly, point-and-click interface that can be used to document and automate test cases.

Certify’s complete life cycle approach allows execution of the certification process as soon as the software is ready for the test, instead of waiting to define or develop it. This methodology provides more time and minimizes the impact of schedule slips.

Life Cycle Approach Using Certify

Certify’s approach starts with planning the business process, designing the automated process, and building the actual test cases. Once these three phases have been completed, the business process is then executed, the results are evaluated, and then the maintenance of the certification process begins.

WORKSOFT Process Capture 2.0

Worksoft Process Capture 2.0 is a standalone application that records application actions and identifies the object while completing a business process and enables both business users and automation testers to create end-to-end tests. It is important to note that the capture only creates steps for actions performed in the application, like modifying fields or adding checks to check boxes.
