All softwares are designed and developed to meet and satisfy certain functional needs. A functional need may be technical, business, or process based. A key component of testing a software is to ensure that it functionally does what it is supposed to do. Functional Testing is the process by which expected behavior of an application can be tested.
Most software undergo changes over a period of time. These changes may occur during initial development of the software, or after the release of the software. Any change to the software increases the chance of errors or bugs being introduced. Regression Testing is the process of frequently re-testing a software to ensure known existing behavior or functionality is not broken. If behavior is modified, the developer or tester must ensure that it is expected. Otherwise, it is called a Regression.
As the size and complexity of applications have grown over the years, it has become increasingly difficult to ensure functional compliance and to ensure no regressions over time. Even a small size project can generate excessive permutations and combinations of test cases that are too big for a human to test consistently and continually. Hence, it is critical to find a functional testing system which can be automated.
AppPerfect Windows Functional Tester was created to assist users with such functional testing challenges.
AppPerfect Windows Functional Tester is a fully Automated Functional testing and Regression testing tool which is easy to use and cost effective replacement to manual testing. Since the mechanics of Functional Testing and Regression Testing are similar, they can be addressed with a single testing tool. AppPerfect Functional Tester provides support for "recording" a test once and then "replaying" it when desired without additional manual intervention, thus providing an automated functional testing solution.
AppPerfect Windows Functional Tester performs functional testing and regression testing of your Windows/.NET/Java/GUI applications. Its designed for developers as well as QA professionals. Functional testing provides a rich set of features in an easy-to-use manner that makes both groups productive immediately.
AppPerfect Functional Tester provides accurate recording and replay of windows UI events. It records all the activities you perform in your windows application and then repeat those activities automatically. It is easy to use with no programming needed. Implementing functional tests for your application early in the software development cycle speeds developments, improves quality and reduces risks towards the end of the cycle.
AppPerfect Functional Tester records application interaction in terms of the actual element, rather than just screen co-ordinates. This fundamental difference in architecture sets this product apart from most competing products. The productivity gain for the user is immediate and substantial. Your functional tests are more flexible and portable across machines, and easier to modify and update.
