Features

The imbusTestBench connects your test materials with the preceding and subsequent development phases.
The imbus TestBench comfortably fulfills documentation and traceability requirements, such as those defined for e.g. medical technology.
Connect with your requirement management tool
Connect with your defect management tool
Connect with your test automation tool
Generate tests from UML models
Test Planning
- Professional test planning with a few mouse clicks: With the TestBench, you create detailed test plans in a clear tree structure.
- Important planning and status attributes that can be evaluated quickly, such as responsible person, priority or due date, can be placed at any classification level, as required.
- With user-defined planning elements, you are flexible and have the chance to depict your individual test process.
- The TestBench provides you with complete support for requirement-based testing. Connections for widely-used requirement tools are available.
- Easily-understandable symbols help you to recognise straight away the requirements for which there are still tests missing, the requirements for which the tests are not yet completely specified, and the requirements that are not yet implemented error-free in the product.
- Confirmation tests are easy to plan: The imbus TestBench immediately delivers all the tests that have to be repeated for a new internal product version because defects or errors have been fixed since the previous test run.
"Test automation with the TestBench"
- Test components in the TestBench correspond to the components (procedures) in the library of the test automation tool
- Tests are put together from reusable test components in the TestBench library (logical description).
- The planning of the test execution takes place in the TestBench – What should be tested and with which data, etc.
- The test execution is started in the TestBench: TestBench-iTEP1 generates a “test screenplay”
- The wrapper (a script in the test automation tool) fetches the corresponding scripts from the library of the test automation tool in accordance with the guidelines from the “test screenplay”
- The scripts are transferred to the test object for test execution
- PLAN/ACTUAL comparison in the wrapper
- The results of each individual step are returned using the iTEP1 interface
Status overviews available “on a click” using the easily understandable symbols. This means that the test manager gets essential information about the progress of the project immediately at all times.
The flexible and easy-to-use filter function facilitates a targeted view of the details that are important to you.
Numerous standard, integrated status reports evaluate all the data, from test planning to test specification and on to test results. On request, imbus also creates tailor-made, customer-specific report plug-ins. This makes time-consuming manual processing of test data and test results a thing of the past.
Flexible import and export interfaces facilitate individual evaluations of the entire contents of the TestBench database. You can load newly-created or adapted report plug-ins into the TestBench.
Post Test and Data Archive
- The test data from the entire project duration is filed in the imbus TestBench. The built-in version management ensures that test design data and test results from all versions and release cycles of the tested software are available in just a few clicks. From version to version – everything is easy to keep track of.
- you can make a back-up copy of a complete project in a single step.
TestBench supports manual and automated testing – even, if necessary, in mixed operation and with various tools for test automation.
Assistant for Test Execution
- The test manager assigns the tests intended for execution to the responsible tester. The tester has his assigned tests displayed for him in the integrated test execution assistant iTORX, or forwards the tests on to the test automation software. The test results are immediately saved in the database, and defect messages are automatically linked to the affected test cases and then forwarded to connected external defect management systems.
- For the test execution, exact step-by-step instructions are generated from the test specification. The highly configurable test execution assistant iTORX displays all important execution data. Convenient input masks are available to record comments and defect messages.
Requirement management systems are connected to the imbus TestBench via an open interface.
- Requirements from connected systems can be used in all imbus TestBench test projects. That means you can carry out requirement-based testing without having to keep switching between various different tools. Requirement reports and filtering according to requirement criteria complete the functionality and facilitate consistent requirement-based test management.
- support: Borland CaliberRM, Telelogic DOORS, TCP IRqA, IBM Rational RequisitePro and Microsoft Excel
Defect management systems are connected to the imbus TestBench via an open interface.
- Defect data is automatically synchronized between the connected system and the imbus TestBench. That means that the defect messages recorded during the test are immediately available to the development department. On the basis of defect status changes, you can, at any time, plan and execute targeted re-testing.
- support: IBM Rational ClearQuest, Atlassian JIRA, Bugzilla, Microsoft Excel
Test automation tools can be connected easily to the imbus TestBench via the iTEP plug-in.
- The following test automation tools are currently supported: QF-TEST, Borland SilkTest, IBM Rational XDE/Functional Tester, IBM Rational Robot, HP WinRunner, HP QuickTest Professional, Ranorex from Version 2.x, AutomatedQA TestComplete
Model based testing systems are connected to the imbus TestBench by a special integration plugin.
- From UML models, test sequences and test data are generated according to well defined coverage criteria, and imported into the imbus TestBench. There the tests can be executed manually or with a test automation tool.
- UML Modeling System supported are: Siemens tedeso, Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, MID Innovator
- This combination offers both the advantages of the UML modeling and the extensive test management functionality of imbus TestBench.

Getting Started

Extension of the project features, test object version features and test cycle features

The status of these elements is visible in the project tree so that the user can quickly identify which elements are active, and which are not.
Fields were implemented further refining the administration of the projects: description, start and end date, creation date and the creation source (e.g. recently created, cloned from another element or imported).

Definition of user-defined fields (UDF)

The definition of UDFs in projects was completely revised and has gained significant usability.
UDFs cannot only be defined for test specification and test execution but now also separately for test topics, test sets and test cases.
Depending to the project, the right to administrate the BDFs can be restricted to the
administrators and project administrators so that e.g. process-relevant fields can only be changed centrally.

Additional Information:

The TestBench Version 2.4.2 contains the following new functions:

New versions of test specifications, so-called test object versions, can now be cloned over several projects, for a more effective use of the test element library and test specification.

The height of test steps will be set automatically so that the total test will be visible immediately.

supporting system tests with many variants (Variants Management):

The joint test specification over all product variants of a product line, the so-called 150% test specification, can be set up.
In this joint test specification you can indicate which tests are valid for which variants.
Furthermore, you can determine which data varies over the variants and which data is valid for which variant.
When deriving a variant, only the tests valid for the variant will be assumed and the data specific for the variant will be transferred.
As a result, test specification versions which are adapted to the product variants are created from the extensive 150% test specification.
