Measuring the progress of a project
|
The complete automation of the software validation process allows the implementation
of a reliable indicator for reporting the actual software progress. The validation
test suites are frequently launched since "free" to the execution. By extrapolation,
a credible estimated of the software delivery date is available.

Facilitating Agile Development
|
Automated Testing helps implementing an incremental development process.
The fact that test execution is « free » supports
intermediate software deliveries.

Creating a comfortable environment for on-target development
|
In addition to automated testing, a TestFarm workstation makes it
possible to manually handle the product under test through a
graphical user interface emulating the product peripherals.
This allows a great effectiveness for many tasks related to
software development on target:
-
Handling of the target product from the computer of the developer,
who does not need anymore to have a physical access to the
model of the product.
Moreover, many repetitive operations can be easily automated.
-
Helping with test suites development,
by recording of product handling operations,
in order to integrate them into the test scripts.
-
Testing System maintenance and diagnosis.
