Upgraded testing

Compuware has launched a new version of its automated testing tool TestPartner. Version 5.4 offers integration with Visual Studio 2005 Team System and support for the .NET Framework 2.0. By enabling development and testing teams to access the same testing assets to resolve errors more quickly, Compuware TestPartner can improve communication and collaboration, allowing the delivery of high-quality applications more cost-effectively.

Features and enhancements in TestPartner 5.4 include a new automatic ActiveData wizard that simplifies the creation of data-driven tests for less technical users, while the advanced ActiveData wizard offers power users greater parameterisation flexibility. Its Import/Export wizard simplifies moving, sharing, archiving and executing test assets, and command line access to the interface is also provided. TestPartner 5.4 extends .Object support to the .NET 2.0 environment, enabling users to test third party .NET components using their native methods and properties. A high-level test results summary is now available to users, enabling managers to instantly grasp whether a test passed, how long the test took and more.
