“In collaboration with my team here at Microsoft, LogiGear developed a keyword-driven automation platform exclusively as a Visual Studio extension for efficient large-scale test automation.”

Speed coded UI test automation.

Test Architect for Visual Studio allows you to quickly create and maintain tests for coded UI using keywords and reusable actions to increase test coverage and minimize testing time. Actions serve as building blocks for test cases for an efficient production process. A built-in library of hundreds of preprogrammed actions eliminates coding and makes teams more productive. Using keywords and actions to create tests makes it easy to scale teams—even spanning offices and geographies—for large, complex projects to expedite coded UI test automation.

The TestArchitect advantage

More detail

Visual Studio integration
The TestArchitect extension runs from within Visual Studio to make creating and executing tests and automation fast, easy and efficient.

Keyword test authoring
Keyword-driven authoring speeds test creation and maintenance by enabling your team to create and update tests without coding. Preprogrammed keyword actions increase efficiency and speed test creation.

Easily maintainable and re-usable tests
Actions, interfaces, and test lines are separate making tests long-term maintainable—and test development can begin before software functionality is complete to synchronize testing with rapid development environments. As requirements change only minimal modifications are needed to update the tests.

Collaborate & scale

More detail

Increase productivity
Module-based, keyword-driven test authoring enables team members to create and update tests without coding, making teams more efficient and easy to scale for large, complex projects. Keyword tests are readable and self-documenting, allowing team members—who span offices and geographies—to collaborate easily.

Simplify test creation
A built-in library of hundreds of preprogrammed actions for controls—buttons, text fields and drop-down lists—makes teams more productive. Actions and/or test cases can be combined to create new actions.

Scale testing easily
Multi-platform testing makes it possible to replicate one test case to execute thousands of tests enabling you to exponentially increase test coverage without adding testing resources.

Easily create application specific actions
Actions for testing complex applications or back-end operations that use APIs, TCP/IP, SQL, or other standards—can be coded in C# and added to the library for extended use.

Key features & functionality

More detail

ALM integration
TestArchitect for Visual Studio seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to define testing based on team projects other areas of the organization are using.

Test cases can be run as part of a test plan in Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) by associating automation with the test cases. For most projects, the Auto Map Test Case feature in TestArchitect can automatically associate test cases to accelerate test execution.

Productivity enhancement

Data-Driven Testing (DDT) speeds and simplifies running test cases with thousands of input variations by creating data sets.

Exponentially increase regression testing and functional testing by creating and running just one test case on multiple platforms using the Interface Variations feature.
