REDSTONE SOFTWARE LAUNCHES NEW AUTONOMIC SELF-HEALING TOOLS WITH EGGPLANT 4.0

Eggplant 4.0 to transform automation of script maintenance and greatly reduce script development time

Redstone Software, makers of Eggplant, the industry leading automation and testing tool for replicating the end-user experience, today announced the general availability release of Eggplant version 4.0. With built-in autonomic self-healing image-based testing tools, Eggplant 4.0 is poised to transform the automation of script maintenance and development time.

Enhanced functionality of the Productiveti™ feature set that sits at the core of Eggplant software addresses the key challenges facing test automation professionals. Version 4.0 includes three new features: Productiveti Image Doctor, Productiveti Image Import and Productiveti Image Collections. The new features automatically address changes to the testing interface during script execution, facilitate the rapid development of new test cases and reduce ongoing script maintenance. In addition to reducing the amount of time it takes to develop new scripts, autonomic self-healing of scripts during script execution serves to dramatically simplify ongoing maintenance.

Productiveti Image Doctor enables autonomic, self-healing of test scripts by dynamically identifying differences in interface elements that may change from one script execution to another. Productiveti Image Import minimizes the amount of time required to create new test cases by importing graphic images into Eggplant for use in test script creation. Productiveti Image Collections simplifies script development time by logically grouping several representations of an image that is callable within an Eggplant script using a single reference name.

“Eggplant is already widely recognized in the industry for its power and ability to enhance automated testing environments. Our ongoing customer case study program clearly indicates this. The new features found in version 4.0 ensure that Redstone continues to offer the value and productivity improvements that customers have come to expect,” explains Christopher Young, Managing Director, Redstone Software. “Eggplant has proven itself to be truly unique among a myriad of competitive test tools. Its power lies in its ability to expand overall test coverage into areas where automation was previously perceived as impossible. With Eggplant, organizations can use their existing testing tools to enhance their existing testing practices. By deploying an intelligent test automation tool they are in a better position to drive the success of their businesses.”

Eggplant 4.0 is available from Redstone Software’s sales and technical support teams. Redstone Software is offering a special launch promotion that will see Eggplant 4.0 sold at Eggplant 3.3 prices through the end of June.
