The year 2021 marks a 100 years since the Czech playwrite Karel Čapek
introduced the world to the word "Robot", when his play ' Rossum’s Universal
Robots (RUR)', premiered in Prague in January 1921.
Initially the writers brother gave him the idea to call these creatures in his
play 'roboti' after the Czech word for serf or forced labourer, but Karel
settled on 'robot'.... read more

In checking back through some presentations we have given over the years… I found a slide pack given by our CEO at the Sydney Australia Testing Tools Fair many moons ago.

I have copied the headline items below as I still believe they stand the test of time, even to this day!

1) Not agreeing the Testing Stages

Need a "Strategy"

2) Not identifying resource requirements

Need a "Plan"

3) Not clearly defining the scope... read more

The latest version of T-Plan Robot Enterprise is the easiest to use UI test automation tool on the market… well that is our view anyhow!

Why you ask? Well… we have developed a new screen recorder smart technology, which interacts with your use of ANY system to correctly and accurately perform the image and code creation, as you create the automated test.

This saves you time and money! However the other main benefit is that any user of any capability can use our test automation tool. Simply click, add and move to the next, to create you test automation scripts. Being UI driven with images, you can also quickly understand where you are in your test creation, with no code knowledge required.... read more

Utilising T-Plan Robot's amazingly new simple image capture & playback technology, we can now shout that we have focused mobile test automation back into the testers domain.
With alternative solutions being very technical and prone to many weeks of development by developers, T-Plan's solution is not only easy to use, but more importantly easy to learn and setup.... read more

Open Source tools have been around for years, and it would seem that the downturn in the economy over the past few years, has pushed the use of these tools into the forefront of management consideration, like we have never seen before.

There is often something quite intangible, and some would say magical about using a free solution, and one that has particular steer in the psyche when looking at software tools. However… as you will see from the previous sentence… it is all too easy to mix the words "free" and open source" together as meaning the same thing.... read more

T-Plan supports non-jailbroken device testing as well as rooted… Update for iOS 7.x…

If you want to use Veency to remote drive the device under test. I.e. You want to automate the whole device, and all the applications on the device as part of your testing, you will need to install a VNC Server - aka Veency - on your device. Once done you then connect to the device using T-Plan Robot's in built VNC viewer.... read more

1) Background…

Since it was founded in 1989, T-Plan has continued to develop software solutions for the Quality Assurance (QA) industry. Almost every organisation dealing with software, will have a testing department, or a team or group of persons responsible for the testing or verification of the software being implemented, or produced for market.

The challenges presented to testing the software, before it goes into production, have lead companies like us to develop solutions that aid the testing process, in industries such as gaming etc.... read more

T-Plan supports non-jailbroken device testing as well as rooted (jailbroken).
Whilst most people prefer not to jailbreak their device, a rooted device can be very handy to have in the testing environment.

Jailbreaking is definitely here to stay, and here are some benefits of supplementing your device portfolio with a jailbroken device:

• Veency, the iOS VNC Server, by Jay Freeman (saurik), the Daddy of Cydia etc. is very much a supported project, and works very well.
• Full device control via Veency
• Native iOS applications can be tested. E.g. Safari etc.
• Interaction between applications on the phone can be tested. E.g. notifications sent and received between apps.
• Testing of the iOS Springboard. E.g. home buttons, volume etc.
• Testing of the App Store etc.
• Non-intrusive. No source instrumentation of your app, nor code hooks required etc.... read more

Jailbreaking is here to stay…

Testing of the latest Apple mobile devices will be made much easier with the press release that an untethered utility, dubbed Evasi0n, was released on Monday, February 4th, 2013. More information can be found on the Evasi0n Jailbreak.com blog.

Great news also is that Veency, by Jay Freeman (saurik) has also been upgraded to the latest IOS 6 version.

Whilst I was watching back some GoPro video of me kitesurfing the other day… it struck me that a birds eye view of the situation often reveals some startling results. Sometimes it is good to take stock… look around and re-confirm that the world is round. However… in the often complex world of mobile device testing, this seldom happens. It should do… and needs to!

Between you, me and the gate post… there are some high level 'gotchas' that only surface when you have spent quite a lot of time researching and looking at solutions.... read more

The Opportunities for the Future of Test Automation

The opportunities in this space right now are tremendous and with the plethora of tools and services being provided at the moment, it is an exciting industry to be part of.

With this sentiment in mind it is my belief that we will continue to see an increased collaboration and communication between different companies, and therefore technologies, when testing projects are being carried out for customers. We have heard for some time now about grey box testing (essentially a combination of black box and white box testing), and it is my belief that we shall see an explosion of these sort of testing practices, being more and more deployed in test environments. For some this will be a use of a combination of different toolsets, whereas for others we will see developers and testers alike working to get a coherent test structure, utilising a combination of different techniques, data sets and of course tools.... read more

The Opportunities for the Future of Test Automation

The opportunities in this space right now are tremendous and with the plethora of tools and services being provided at the moment, it is an exciting industry to be part of.
With this sentiment in mind it is my belief that we will continue to see an increased collaboration and communication between different companies, and therefore technologies, when testing projects are being carried out for customers. We have heard for some time now about grey box testing (essentially a combination of black box and white box testing), and it is my belief that we shall see an explosion of these sort of testing practices, being more and more deployed in test environments. For some this will be a use of a combination of different toolsets, whereas for others we will see developers and testers alike working to get a coherent test structure, utilising a combination of different techniques, data sets and of course tools.
For example: take the case of a company that is having to produce a product that now has to function in not just a windows environment, but in a mobile and Linux one also. Users expect a unique but consistent experience across the different technologies, but above all the present day consumer expects quality and security. We have become failure intolerant when using technologies that are no longer emerging, and have become intertwined with everyday life.
What this means for the software testing industry is a procurement of a selection of tools to test systems across a wide range of different environments. Historically we have been able to control the testing into fairly neat packages, as the tests conducted on the different environments, all used similar hardware and networks etc. E.g. tests carried out against different operating systems of Windows XP, Vista, and 7 etc. However in the mobile and tablet world, not only does the hardware, and networks need to change, but also the nature of the tests being deployed, as you are now in a world of widely different operating systems etc. Last but not least, you add Linux, Android and Chrome into the mix alongside the traditional desktop testing, and you have a whole range of tools that have to act in harmony.... read more
