FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 29, 2009 -
Bangalore, San Francisco, London — 29th April 2008 — ThoughtWorks®, the global IT consulting and software company, today announced the immediate availability of Twist, an automated functional testing platform. This latest addition to their Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) suite for software teams helps business experts, testers and developers (i.e., everyone on a project team) collaborate to write high quality software aligned with business intent and needs.

Twist drives the development of lasting and re-usable test suites that are easily maintainable throughout the software development lifecycle – allowing businesses to get the maximum return on the investment they make in building test suites. It allows the functional behavior of a product to be expressed in plain text, using English-like constructs. Twist provides a rich Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for defining, executing and maintaining the business intent of applications.

Chad Wathington, VP – Product Development for ThoughtWorks Studios said, "Twist is a revolutionary product because it makes robust and long-lived automated functional testing efforts possible.  It provides real IDE level support for test automation, makes your tests readable by business users in whatever human language you want, and facilitates collaboration across the whole team.  We built Twist to give testers and quality assurance professionals the tools to meet the demands of acceptance and regression testing modern applications, including JavaScript heavy web sites, SOA, SWT, and several other technologies.”

Twist is designed by ThoughtWorks, creators of the popular open source web testing framework Selenium. Twist improves team productivity dramatically with powerful Integrated Development Environment (IDE) features, like refactoring, html reporting, and automatic code generation.

Twist is a part of ThoughtWorks’ Application Lifecycle Management Suite which also includes Cruise® (Continuous Integration, Build and Release Management), and ThoughtWorks' flagship product, Mingle® (Agile Project Management).

Twist 1.0 is available immediately for purchase under both perpetual and annual subscription licenses. ThoughtWorks is offering a free 30-day trial of Twist (on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux).
