AscentialTest

AscentialTest is an enterprise level Test Management System that encompasses Test Planning, Development, Data Management, Execution and Defect Tracking, developed by Zeenyx Software. This next generation automation tool for GUI testing allows users to build robust automated test steps by interacting with graphical representations of the application under test to develop automation without a requirement for programming. Manual and automated tests are created by dragging and dropping reusable test steps in a visual test editor. Manual and automated tests are created by dragging and dropping reusable test steps in a visual test editor.
The AscentialTest tool has a number of positive reviews on IT Central Reviews and Gartner Peer Reviews.
AscentialTest provides automated testing support for the following application types including MS Windows, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Java, dotNet (Winforms and WPF), terminals, Siebel and PowerBuilder.
Primary features
Test Planning: The test plan editor is a tool used to document test requirements in outline or list form. The editor allows the user to link to manual or automated tests so the tests can be run in groups directly from the test plan.
Test Data Management: Test data tables are created automatically to match the data requirements of tests. Test data is available from a simple query in the type expected by tests.
Automated Testing: Users build automated test steps by interacting with graphical representations of the application under test. Tests are created by dragging and dropping reusable test steps in a visual test editor.
Manual Testing: Manual tests are created by combining and organizing re-usable steps using a drag and drop interface. At test execution time, the tester is prompted with instructions for each step and provided a way to capture outputs, notes and application images.
Test Execution Management: Test Sets provide test execution management and reporting to support software testing cycles and releases. Test Sets allow the user to keep track of the status of each tests (passed, failed, blocked, not run, running). There is also a web portal that provides access to test results from a browser.
Defect Tracking: AscentialTest is integrated with JIRA for defect tracking. It prompts users to create, retest and close defects based on the relationship between test status and defects.
Image Capture/Compare with Masking: Baseline images are captured and stored so that they can be compared to images displayed in the target application at runtime. Users can apply masks to remove dynamic areas from comparisons.
Test Management: Tests can be tagged with any number of user-defined attributes so that they can be easily located using a powerful query tool. Attributes are also used in Test Plans and Suites to locate tests for execution.
Password Encryption: Provides a way to use passwords in automated tests that need to be kept confidential. AscentialTest uses 256-bit AES encryption to store the password.
Integration : AscentialTest integrates with the open source version control system, Subversion (VisualSVN) by CollabNet, Inc. to provide a way to manage your code repositoryas well as JIRA, Azure DevOps and Jenkins to support continuous delivery.
