| We are currently using the software to do functional and performance testing of our customized version of Microsoft CRM. In addition, we are also using it for functional testing of a custom, in-house, financial application, and to do quality assurance on a CD that contains encrypted Adobe .pdf files, that are distributed for us by a third-party vendor. It allows us to do repeatable, reliable performance and functional testing, load test data with only “one-click”, and verify third-party vendors work. It saves us time and money, because after the initial “ramp-up” time learning it, we can quickly write tests that perform hours of work in only minutes. A great test tool, that we highly recommend! Thank you !!! |
