Secure Software Testing - Secure Systems
Test without interference
Most automated testing software can only perform tests of the application running on the local machine. In many cases the presence of the testing software can skew or completely invalidate your testing results. With Eggplant you can test your running application on an independent computer (or computers) with virtually no overhead enabling reliable and accurate testing not only of your functionality but of your performance as well.
Test without modification
Because Eggplant doesn't rely on special hooks or builds you can test software exactly as it will be run by your end-users. In fact you can even setup to test live installations of your software over the internet all through a secure SSH connection.
Test without installing software locally
There are many types of systems where, for security policy reasons, testing software may not be installed on a computer. That does not mean that there isn't a requirement to test those systems and this places the burden on individuals. The Eggplant software testing tool offers a solution to overcome this prolem through the use of a KVM switch. By connecting a VNC enabled KVM switch to a secured system, Eggplant can work through the KVM switch to control the computer and test it without the need to install any software locally.
