Tool NameDescription
1. Business Process Testing (BPT)Challenged by frequent releases and demands for shorter test cycles? Are your test maintenance costs too high? Invest in an HP Business Process Testing framework and move from serial testing to Component Based Testing: a way of creating reusable test modules that allow for changes to be made once then propagated to affected tests. Tests become more readable by modeling business processes, are easier to maintain, easier to tie to requirements, and help you quickly identify good candidates for automation.
2. LoadRunnerHP LoadRunner is the industry standard for application performance testing. The load testing tool helps you prevent issues by detecting bottlenecks and to obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance before going live.
Extremely flexible for organizations and projects of all sizes, LoadRunner software testing tool enables you to test a range of applications including mobile, Ajax, Flex, HTML 5, .NET, Java, GWT, Silverlight, SOAP, Citrix, ERP and legacy.
3. Performance CenterHP performance testing software is the de-facto standard for enterprise-level performance testing. Built on HP LoadRunner software, the industry-leading solution, it includes a management framework that helps:
i) Support collaboration across distributed teams and projects.
ii) Standardize processes, centralize resources and build a performance testing CoE.
iii) Reduce cost, optimizing resource utilization with pooling, scheduling and 24×7 usage.
iv) Provide traceability from performance requirements (SLAs) to defects.
v) Connect across the entire application lifecycle: from Development to Production.
4. QuickTestProfessional(QTP)Functional Testing
5. Service TestHP Service Testing provides a visual method for API-level testing. Construct tests by dragging ready-to-use activities to a test flow on a canvas—a code-less approach for quick results. Advanced users can customize test behavior with event handlers and custom code modules. HP Service Test Management provides detailed management of tests (extends Quality Center/ALM products). Capture and save exploratory testing, and conduct change impact analysis to efficiently retest an application without over- or under-testing.
6. SprinterHP Sprinter accelerates the authoring and execution of manual software testing, provides crystal clear write-ups for accurate bug reproduction and maximizes the impact of exploratory testing. Sprinter slashes test cycle time by reducing the time of test authoring with automatic steps capture and cutting execution steps, like data entry.
7. HP WebInspectHP WebInspect is an automated and configurable web application security and penetration testing tool that mimics real-world hacking techniques and attacks, enabling you to thoroughly analyze your complex web applications and services for security vulnerabilities. By enabling you to test web applications from development through production, efficiently manage test results and distribute security knowledge throughout your organization, WebInspect empowers you to protect your most vulnerable entry points from attack.
With QAInspect, you can embed application security software testing, AND web testing in your quality assurance (QA) process, detecting security vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle and avoiding the excessive cost and risk that come if you allow them to slip into production.
