Test tool design and strategy

Test design tools are invaluable in the creation of test cases, or at the very least, the generation of test inputs, which are an integral component of test cases. When an automated oracle is available, the tool can also determine the expected results, effectively generating complete test cases. For instance, if requirements are stored in a requirements management or test management tool, these tools can identify input fields and their valid value ranges.

This range information helps identify boundary values and equivalence partitions. When the valid range is defined, the tool can distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable values and generate error messages as needed. If error messages are predefined, the tool can check the expected results in detail. In addition, if the expected result for a valid input is known, it can be included in the test case generated by the test design tool.

Another type of test design tool helps select combinations of factors to test, such as ensuring that all operating system and browser pairs are covered. However, the tool may not provide a complete solution-it may indicate which input values are valid or invalid, but it may not specify the exact error messages or expected results. While it will help initiate test design and identify relevant fields, further verification and detailed work will still be required.

Thorough testing of software tools and environments is essential for delivering high quality products and services. Jarltech develops customized test tools and services to support the qualification of new smart device products. Here's an overview of our approach along three key dimensions.

Step 1

Jarltech works with customers to determine their specific needs and select the best test methods for qualification. We either develop custom tests tailored to a specific product or recommend the most effective existing solutions. The increased thoroughness and accuracy of testing justifies the investment in a suite of custom-built tools that can be used by multiple testers on different projects. This approach increases confidence in the quality of the software being developed.

Step 2

Jarltech uses our expertise to develop the most effective test plan based on the customer's needs. Partnering with us provides a smoother path to interoperability, faster product development and faster time to market. Custom test tool development is a specialized software task. Developers must not only be skilled in coding, but also have a clear understanding of the tool's objectives to ensure accurate test results and conclusions.

Step 3

The development of customized test tools can streamline manual testing processes. In some cases, a product may require a specialized tool to meet the validation or certification requirements of a specific scheme. Jarltech's comprehensive understanding of the standards and requirements across various smart device sectors, including payments and transportation, enables us to rapidly develop tailored tools to meet your specific needs.
