Less Testers are Needed Per Project

Before GenRocket

• Functional testing (Black Box) which just covers 10% of the codebase.

• A large team of testers manually test or create automated tests with Selenium (or equivalent).

After GenRocket

• Add Unit/Integration testing (White Box) with GenRocket which covers an additional 90% of the codebase.

• A small team of quality engineers tests 100% of the codebase.


Software Quality Increases

Functional Testing Functional Testing + GenRocket

Source Code Tested 10% 100%

Regression Testing Slow and Inefficient Fast and Efficient

Increase Code Coverage: By just functional testing, 90% of the codebase is left untested. By using GenRocket teams are able to test 100% of their application’s source code. By testing 100% of the source code testers can uncover more bugs and increase the overall quality of the application.

Full End-to-End Regression Testing: Using functional testing for regression tests means regressions are found late in development which can have a negative impact on the release schedule. Unit and integration testing shifts the regression testing left which enables regressions to be found sooner.


Total Cost of Ownership Decreases 50%

“…a well-designed combination of defect prevention and defect removal activities can lower software total cost of ownership by about 50% and can shorten software development schedules by between 10%-20%. For software, high quality has a higher return on investment (ROI) than any other known factor.”
