What solution do we suggest?

Quality assurance is crucial when it

comes to automation software as it

is complex and errors are expensive.

Automated scripts can improve the

quality and cost-efficiency of

software testing. However, the

implementation of test automation

involves mastering several

independent tools and requires a lot

of routine manual actions.

We suggest an effective approach

that brings test execution to the

highest automation level.

Octopus is a customizable

framework that integtares testing

tools into one consistent system

and automates their interaction

throughout the whole testing

cycle.

Octopus simplifies and accelerates the process of

application testing and contributes to a significant

improvement of the productivity.

What are benefits of our solution?

Octopus offers the following advantages:

• integration of separate tools into a system under

a common user interface

• automation of labor-intensive routine operations

• effective use of employees’ potential

• round-the-clock testing: 24 hours 7 days a week

of unmanned operation

• guaranteed regression testing

• reduced testing time and budget on middle- and

long-term projects

• minimum time required for personnel training

• continuous and predictable test cycles

• scalability to large projects

• customizable platform

Octopus possesses a number of features that

account for its efficiency and improved

performance:

• testing on clean physical and virtual PCs

• queuing tasks according to priority

• support of scheduled, event-triggered, and

batch tests

• simultaneous execution of tests

• interaction with a bug tracking system

• generation of uniform reports

• integration with proprietary and free testing

tools

• multistage logging system

• fault tolerance algorithms

Ready to customize your Octopus?

“Automated software testing allowed us to get rid of time-consuming manual

operations like environment configuration, test launch, preparing test

sequences, reporting, analysis, and processing of bugs. Now I can prepare the

whole system for tests just by changing a couple of words in the command

lines. Thus I am maximizing the use of time and assign my team more creative

tasks.”

Stefan Emil, ITS Software Test Center
