Worksoft announced the availability of Worksoft Certify version 8.2, providing enhanced support for SAP business process functionality.

Worksoft’s flagship product, Worksoft Certify, offers a patented “scriptless” approach to functional and business process validation testing, which allows business analysts and functional users to define, execute, and maintain tests through a menu-driven interface with business language narratives.

“Significantly reducing the complexity of developing and maintaining automated tests can speed quality assurance progress and help prevent code problems earlier in the development life-cycle to lower costs,” says Melinda Ballou, program director, Application Life-Cycle Management research at IDC. “And by allowing business users to play an active role in designing the tests, organizations can better ensure that key business processes execute as expected after implementation and upgrades.”

With Worksoft Certify 8.2, users can:

• Control the dashboard seamlessly
• Automate testing development with LiveTouch technology
• ‘Test tests’ during development
• Simplify complex repeating testing

Worksoft Certify 8.2 also includes added support for Windows Vista and provides enhanced support for Web applications.

“Worksoft enables developers and quality assurance engineers to easily manage their data interactions for maximum efficiency, while also providing a high quality of security,” said Bruce Monroe, founder of Monroe Consulting. “I believe Worksoft Certify is the only automated testing tool on the market to execute projects quickly and thoroughly.”

“Worksoft is committed to the continual innovation of our testing solutions for use with SAP applications,” said Bruce Johnson, CEO and president of Worksoft. “Customers using Worksoft Certify report significantly improved testing of SAP solutions and reduced implementation times.”

Worksoft Certify provides a single integrated platform for testing business processes across the enterprise without relying on time-consuming and inefficient scripting processes. Processes that span multiple technologies and platforms, such as SAP solutions, .Net, HTML, JAVA, and even the mainframe, can be effectively tested in a single, seamless test process. Worksoft Certify’s “learn” feature maps each screen of the customer’s application to automatically discover all of the functions it contains, such as input fields, labels, and pull down boxes, among others.
