New QA tool decreases defect capture time by 30-50% and decreases fix time by 10-30%.
New QA tool decreases defect capture time by 30-50% and decreases fix time by 10-30%.
Dublin, CA (USA), Monday - February 21, 2012 --
QASymphony ( http://www.qasymphony.com ), a SaaS provider focusing on
bringing intelligent software testing tools to market, announced its
launch today.
"The cloud-powered software development lifecycle is beginning to be
fully realized," said Vu Lam, CEO of QASymphony. "Todays' developers and
testers require testing tools that provide more than basic
record-keeping and collaboration. They require tools that support
cloud-based software development and testing processes along with
agility, scalability and, most importantly, intelligence into how the
software is being designed, deployed and used. Our mission is to provide
these tools from our cloud-based platform."
As a first step, QASymphony
is releasing its first product, qTrace, an easy-to-use, defect capture
tool for bug discovery that provides insight into how software is used.
qTrace captures all steps, screens, and system information associated
with a defect along with out-of-the-box integration enabling the user to
submit the defect trace to any bug tracking system of choice.
qTrace provides testers an easier and faster way to report defects. In
the past, software testers worked through an application to find bugs
and the drudgery starts; retracing steps, doing screen captures, making
notes, compiling a report, opening a defect tracking tool, and then
finally submitting a ticket. Not fun, not productive, and often time
resulting in defect reports that were missing key pieces of information.
With qTrace, testers simply turn on the tool as they start their testing
session. qTrace runs in the background and captures every screen and
every step performed during testing. qTrace then automatically generates
a detailed defect report from the captured information that includes
how the application was being used along with associated environmental
information. While in stealth mode the company had qTrace in beta
testing, and customers found that qTrace decreases defect capture time
by 30-50% and decreases fix time by 10-30%.
"qTrace's seamless integration with our bug tracker is a huge plus;
combined with the ease of use, qTrace definitely helps us reduce testing
cycles," said Lakshmi Janardhan, QA manager for Compuware Corporation.
"We are really excited about getting qTrace in use across our entire
testing organization," said Gwendolyn Sanders, senior QA analyst at
Silverpop. "The beta showed us that we could cut in half the time it
takes to capture screens and record defects."
"qTrace is so easy to use. It took me a few minutes to download and
install, then I was able to start capturing and submitting defects right
away without having to look at a user manual," said Kevin Konishi,
development program manager, Next Step Learning.
qTrace Benefits Include:
* Ease of use. With qTrace, testers use simple point-and click commands
to start recordings, modify records, and publish reports.
* Automation. qTrace automates the capture of complete bug
reports-including the steps that precipitated the defect's occurrence.
Testers can easily add details or modify the record, or just move
forward with submitting a ticket.
* Seamless Integration. Through its integration with leading
bug-tracking tools, qTrace enables testers to create new defect records
and submit complete details into a bug-tracking tool-with a single mouse
click. qTrace also provides an API that allows custom integration with
any defect tracking tool.
* Defect reporting quality improvement. By eliminating a lot of manual,
error-prone efforts, qTrace helps improve the accuracy and specificity
of defect descriptions.
* Productivity boost. With qTrace, teams can spend less time on
documentation, and more time on testing. Consequently, testers get
better at what's most important: validating functionality. qTrace helps
turn even novice testers into proficient testing experts.
* Product development acceleration. With qTrace, application development
teams can speed QA cycles, enhance collaboration and provide better
information to development, so the organization can more quickly get
quality products to market.
"All of us at QASymphony are passionate about software quality. We are
launching the company on Valentine's Day because we love software
developers and testers, and we are confident that in time software
developers and testers will come to love us as well," said Vu Lam,
QASymphony CEO ( http://www.qasymphony.com ). "Our roots are in software
development; we are passionate developers and testers ourselves. Having
provided development and testing services to over 75 companies in the
past, we understand their needs. The products we will introduce to the
market will help testers and developers release high quality products
faster. We believe our first product, qTrace, will become an
indispensable application for them."
