LogiGear Releases TestArchitect 2.0 Software Test Automation Toolset

Global Solution for Software Test Design and Automation Developed by Original Architect of the Keyword Method

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- LogiGear(R) Corporation, provider of the widest range of software testing solutions to leading firms in software, consumer electronics, Internet, insurance, professional services and many other industries, today announced the release of TestArchitect(TM) 2.0, an advanced toolset for software test design, automation and management.

With research and development led by Hans Buwalda, the original architect of the keyword method of software test automation, TestArchitect solves the biggest problems in software testing: creating and maintaining vast libraries of manual and automated test scripts. A solution for distributed teams, down the hall or around the world, TestArchitect enables faster, better and more cost-effective test design, automation and management, and ensures that testing can enter the development cycle far earlier than ever before.

Mr. Buwalda, LogiGear's Chief Architect and coauthor of Integrated Test Design and Automation(1), explained that "TestArchitect is the realization of Action Based Testing(TM) in a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that can serve as the centerpiece in the transformation of entire software testing organizations with proven concepts and techniques to improve test strategy, testing and test project management, testware management, and team building." Action Based Testing includes the latest refinements to the keyword-driven testing method based on LogiGear's real world experience. TestArchitect 2.0 combines this method with a test library management structure optimized for distributed teams.

TestArchitect 2.0 adds new features for coordinated collaboration between software testers, test designers, automation engineers, leads, managers and their software development colleagues. The toolset now offers built-in "scriptless" Windows and Web automation, while retaining the ability to effectively organize automation script libraries written in many third-party languages. TestArchitect's power stands behind a clean spreadsheet interface that best serves a strategy of test design for automation, reusability, time efficiency and cost savings. With shared test libraries stored in SQL Server or Microsoft Access databases, and with powerful management and reporting features, TestArchitect 2.0 enables global effectiveness and solid return-on-investment.

As predicted by IDC, the latest innovations in software testing products and methodologies are emerging in the field of "distributed automated software quality tools"(2), and TestArchitect continues to lead the way with the latest release: a true global solution in a sophisticated yet elegant package. "TestArchitect furthers our core mission: to provide software testing organizations with the essential assets and tools necessary to maximize return on their testing investment," Hung Nguyen, Chief Executive Officer of LogiGear Corporation and coauthor of the bestselling books Testing Computer Software(3) and Testing Applications on the Web(4).

TestArchitect is available on a floating license, host license or user license basis, with the full range of LogiGear's long experience in training, consulting and advanced test automation services standing firmly behind it. Also available as an integral part of LogiGear's global testing services, TestArchitect is essential to LogiGear's Global Test Automation Solution offerings, enabling effective communication and collaboration among globally distributed software testing teams.
