Follow on Google News | Paper on automated testing control system Octopus wins Best Paper award at VALID 2011 in BarcelonaThe paper featuring Octopus, a system for automated testing control, has been recognized as the best paper at the Third International Conference on Advances in System Testing and Validation Lifecycle VALID 2011.
The paper focuses on improving the test infrastructure and enabling the execution of automated tests without human intervention. Applied Systems Ltd. has attained this goal by implementing Octopus, a system for automated testing control, which integrates the customer’s existing test infrastructure under a common user interface. The test infrastructure refers to tools and systems used in the process of automated testing, namely the file server, build machine, versioning control system, virtualization server, bug tracking system, and test automation tools. Octopus™ functions as a “black box” where input is a new build, and output is a test report. Every time a build is produced, the control system automatically performs all boring and routine operations associated with test execution: operates virtual machines, prepares the environment, starts tests created using different tools in one batch, reports defects to a bug-tracking system and generates a uniform report. The system can be easily configured and customized with the help of a simple user interface. “Quite often software testers have to perform several routine operations manually while doing “automated” About Octopus™ Octopus is a solution for automated testing control. It is designed to automate routine operations associated with test execution, such as environment setup, test launch, bug submission, and report generation. Being adaptable and configurable, the software program integrates under a common user-friendly interface the customer’s existing test infrastructure: Octopus significantly increases the efficiency of automated software testing and enables the regression testing of every produced build. Freed from monotonous manual operations, testers can focus on more value-adding tasks, such as creating new test cases and maintaining test scripts.
