Business Process Testing

Business Process Testing
Business Process Testing enables Subject Matter Experts to create business process tests using reusable business components. Business Process Testing enables Subject Matter Experts to design quality assurance tests for an application early in the development cycle and in a script-free environment.

Benefits of Business Process Testing
Business Process Testing and its integration with various testing tools provide numerous benefits in efficiency and cost reduction, including the following:
√ Business process tests can be created in a script-free environment by Subject Matter Experts who best understand the business processes that need to be tested, without the need for a programming background.
√ Business Process Testing enables structured testing of an application by combining test automation and automatically generated, easy-to-understand, plain-language test documentation.
√ Business Process Testing is not dependent on the completion of detailed testing scripts. Applications can be tested manually before automated tests are ready. Business process tests can therefore be created and implemented more quickly than other automated tests, enabling potential performance issues to be detected earlier in the development process, and before downtime can occur.
√ Business process test creation is further accelerated by the ability to use modular, reusable business component units in multiple business process tests.
√ Ongoing test maintenance time and costs are reduced, while increasing staff efficiency.
√ Quality assurance experts can take advantage of the sophisticated automated testing capabilities in QuickTest and WinRunner to prepare object hierarchies and application-specific functions that can be packaged as building blocks for use in business process tests by Subject Matter Experts. Subject Matter Experts can work efficiently with quality assurance experts to test the functionality of applications.
√ Documents containing information about the tests and components in a project can be easily generated.
