Test Management Suite
T-Plan would like to take this opportunity to announce the release of Version 7 of out Test Management Suite of software products. Version 7 has been in production as part of a controlled release to a few of our customers for some time now, and we delighted to be now offering this release to all of our clients.
Please see below a quick summary on what you can expect from Release 7:
T-Plan Robot Integration
A highly collaborative solution is now available from T-Plan with the addition of T-Plan Robot. This tight integration allows the user to centrally manage both manual and automated tests in the same fashion. Users now have the ability to automatically kick off T-Plan Robot scripts for execution, automatically view those results and report on them, all with a few simple mouse clicks.
For more information on this integration please read the T-Plan Robot Integration Reference.
SQL Reporting Services (SSRS)
T-Plan now supports SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This technology delivers a server based reporting mechanism that supports a wide variety of reporting needs.
The “Reporter” delivers a powerful set of server based reports, utilising the reporting services technologies of MS SQL. Using the subscriptions features of reporting services, reports can be delivered by email to the desktop, or to a company web dashboard; thus providing management information to your desktop.
Full traceability reporting, together with statistics for both traditional and agile testing methods are supported. E.g. Burn down reports and coverage statistics delivered in a web based format.
Reports can be run across modules and can combine information from tests and defects. T-Plan also now allows historical data to be stored and reported on automatically; so historical and trend analysis can be achieved.
As usual T-Plan will be working in partnership with clients that are using the “Reporter” to build the set of management information (MI) that is required.
Tool Integrations
Building on the success of our “Integrator” product (xml exchange), T-Plan has been working on using the same technology to offer the ability to share data between the T-Plan product suite, and other automation and testing products.
For example we have already built in partnership, with one of our UK customers, an integration between QTP and also JIRA. We have also with another customer built an automation test framework using MS Excel to drive QTP, with the tests and results managed by the T-Plan Product Suite.
Database Scalability & Performance
Copy & move of information between modules is now achieved at the database level. This means increased performance, stability & scalability for large projects.
Extended Hierarchy Attribute Field Sizes / Lengths
T-Plan Professional now allows a user to enter up to 2000 characters into the Name and Description fields for T-Plan hierarchy entities.
IMS has also had the Details field restriction lifted, and now accepts unlimited data.
SOA Web Service Integration for Toolkit / Extensions Layer
The T-Plan SOA web service now makes it possible to communicate with the T-Plan application / database using the web service. This technology allows T-Plan Robot and T-Plan Professional to communicate over remote locations via the Internet.
The same technology is also used for developing our new integrations / extensions, where remote communication is a requirement.
Retest Functionality in Conjunction with SQL Reporting Services (SSRS)
T-Plan Professional allows user to differentiate Scripts that are for Retest, from those that are being executed legitimately numerous times, i.e. on different platforms.
With GUI icons and reporting capabilities, users can now use this functionality to better understand their test executions.
HTML Email Capability with Outlook Email Extension
T-Plan Incident Manager now supports html emails. By utilizing a stylesheet which overlays a HTML template you can structure your email notifications as you please; specifying the inclusion / exclusion of any present attributes.
