How SVaT can help you solve common problems!

Below you'll find several scenarios, each providing a solution to a commonly occuring problem in software QA.

Scenario 1: New application to test, hours to turn it round

R&D have just released their test candidate to you several days late, and you have a couple of days before they start their fault-fix round. With SVaT you can design and execute a high degree of test coverage in less than a day: furthermore all the tests are reusable for the next test candidate. (more...)

Scenario 2: New test candidate, hours to turn it round, and R&D have refactored the whole GUI

R&D have just released their next test candidate to you several days late, and you have a couple of days before the planned alpha release. The GUI has been extensively restructured. With SVaT you can refactor your tests in an hour or two, and spend the rest of the day extending your test coverage. As before, all the tests remain reusable for the next test candidate. (more...)

Scenario 3: New project, new hope for test coverage

Your success in spotting several potentially costly faults in the last software release before it got shipped to clients was noticed, so you have been given the chance to develop all your tests ahead of the next software release. Because you can refactor the GUI element of the tests so easily, you can develop all your tests through SVaT secure in the knowledge that they will be relevant whatever R&D eventually throw at you.

Scenario 4: Comprehensive test suite, many faults to fix

You have developed your test suite ahead of time, and the first test candidate falls a little short of perfection (to say the least). SVaT can hook up to your Issue Tracker / Bug Reporting system to switch off certain tests until they are reported fixed - then switch them back in automatically. (more...)

Scenario 5: Finding edge faults

Your testing regime is well-regarded, but customers have reported faults using certain data inputs. With the SVaT Professional Edition you can extend your functional test workflows with advanced data-driven capabilities. (more...)

Scenario 6: Outsourcing R&D

You have been so successful that you have had to outsource the R&D for your next project. Your company has decided that your QC is an essential step in ensuring the quality of the new as-yet-untrusted supplier. SVaT is a perfect partner - not only can you generate comprehensive test coverage to your own satisfaction, but you can also use the SVaT visual representation to get Product Marketing buy-in, too.
