Web-Based architecture

SymbioTest is an integral Web-Based testing environment that emulates, in a most intuitive and user-friendly way, the real-life approach to software testing. Benefiting from our Web-based architecture, users do not need to install software to access project requirements, test cases, test plans or a test results repository. All you need is a browser and an Internet connection to bring SymbioTest online.

No programming knowledge required

With the power of SymbioTest framework, SymbioWare brings its customers to the next level of creating automated test cases by providing a unique interface that allows writing highly advanced test cases by using only plain English. In just a few minutes, a business analyst can create a test case that only a very skilled automated QA engineer would be able to write using conventional automated testing software. Moreover, it would take the QA engineer more than twice as long to achieve the same result!

Automation Tool Independent

The SymbioTest framework includes the SymbioTest Agent. By using the SymbioTest Agent there is no need for 3rd party testing tool, and can be optionally installed by the user, if required. It is a small application that sits in the system tray that will execute test cases on a local or remote test machine. The SymbioTest Agent manages all the communication from the machine under test to/from SymbioTest server.

Development and automated testing in parallel

Testers can write automated test cases while developers are writing their code, working in parallel. Test cases are built directly from requirements, in parallel with code development. Our Application Model Editor helps users to manually create an Application Model for a particular project as early as the first requirements drawing. Having built a backbone for their test case format, users are not constrained with creating test cases for the defined requirements until they exist.

Quick transition to automated test cases

When a company decides to move from manual to automated testing, SymbioTest provides flawless mapping between the object that created based on requirements definition and object in the developed application. This transition does not change the character and the structure of the created test cases. By using this method, SymbioTest can set up the entire body of the available test cases for its automation execution.

Flexible automated test execution

SymbioTest provides our users with great flexibility by allowing them to schedule their test case execution at any time to any available SymbioTest Agent host on the network. The run scheduler process allows test cases to be run and viewed in real-time. This means that a team member can see how the test case is running on the SymbioTest Agent host in real-time, no matter where the host is located.

Use of test reports for analysis

Users can utilize customizable reports that can provide instant visibility into the testing effort. Reports trace the path from test requirements to test results, allowing managers to see how many requirements have passed, failed, or not been tested, instantly.

Empowers Users to store and read documentation online

Integrating with WebDAV technology as a Web Server Document Repository, SymbioTest empowers a user to store and read documentation online.

Use of existing workforce

SymbioTest effectively closes the gap between routine manual testing and the sought after virtue of automation. Our product assists a team, who are proficient in manual testing, with a robust library of test procedures presented in a graphical user interface. A tester can easily mix and match the testing objects with their test procedures using a familiar application's front end with menus, radio buttons and edit boxes.

Quick update for the version test cases

SymbioTest is designed to ensure the continuity of the entire testing progress between versions of the target software. Our customers are relieved from the tedious and unproductive routine of rewriting all the present test cases for the version. SymbioTest has a 'notification' feature for every test case in the test case library, which makes sure that all test cases are up-to-date. As soon as a test case has become obsolete for a version under testing, it is automatically flagged as 'invalid'. This error-proof design safely guards a user from scheduling the outdated test cases for automated execution.
