This test management and execution system provides many of the same benefits attained from RFT while compensating for the pitfalls.
CLEAR SKY’S BENEFITS
1. Enterprise-Level Scalability:
Why settle for running tests overnight when your entire automation suite can complete in minutes? Built for the Cloud, Clear Sky automatically launches thousands of test cases simultaneously. Integrate Clear Sky into Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or other leading Cloud providers. Or host it in your own data center(s).
2. Time and Cost Minimization:
Worried about the costs of running on the Cloud? No need. Our revolutionary scaling algorithms optimize the number of instances to minimize time and cost. Generally, an entire suite of 5,000 test cases costs under $5.00. And because we can scale to thousands of simultaneous test executions, we can minimize the time it takes to run. The same suite of 5,000 test cases usually executes in under 20 minutes*.
* Measurements are made on tests that execute between 90 and 180 seconds each.
3. Compatible With Almost Any Backend Technology:
With Clear Sky test automation framework, you can automate test cases for Web UI, REST APIs, Web Services, 3rd-party libraries, raw sockets and more. Go beyond website test automation and incorporate any other entry points your system supports.
MUCH MORE THAN A SIMPLE AUTOMATION TOOL
User-Facing Scenario Approach
Test in the mindset of the users who interact with the system, rather than the technical implementation.
Collaboration Across Split Teams
Simple, yet effective features to bring together teams scattered across a building or the globe.
Ultra-Customizable Test Plans
Customize sets of tests in any configuration to run with a click of a button or on a schedule.
Multi-Tier Performance Testing
Track performance over time for a single scenario or an entire test plan.
Detailed Test Result Reporting
Close the loop on every run with a detailed test result report and export it to Microsoft Excel® for further analysis.
Black and White-Box Testing
Perform scenario-based functional tests along with under-the-hood integration tests.
Simple and Intuitive UI
Deigned with user experience in mind for the simplest experience to create, organize and manage thousands of test cases.
Integration with CI/CD Infrastructure
