Action Based Testing and TestArchitect
In many of its projects, LogiGear follows the Action Based Testing method for keyword-driven test development and automation, which employs the concept of "test modules" as an organizing principle to make test development and automation more efficient and easier to manage and maintain.
To support the Action Based Testing approach, LogiGear offers two products: TestArchitect and TestArchitect for Visual Studio. Of these, TestArchitect is the more general product that provides test development and automation for a wide range of software platforms, while TestArchitect for Visual Studio is specifically designed to work as an extension inside Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio Test Professional.
International presence
The first software conference held in Vietnam was conducted in 2010, titled VistaCon 2010, and sponsored by LogiGear. Cem Kaner was the keynote speaker.
