T-Plan Robot (formerly known as VNCRobot) is one of the most flexible and universal black box automated testing tools on the market. Developed on generic image based testing principles, it provides a human-like approach to software testing and it performs well in situations where other tools may fail. As a result of its carefully designed open architecture and detailed documentation, it is simple to adopt, integrate and customize.

• Major Benefits of T-Plan Robot Enterprise

• Platform independence (Java). T-Plan Robot runs on, and automates all major systems, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, Solaris, and mobile platforms such as Android, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Symbian.
• Test almost ANY system. As automation runs at the GUI level, via the use of VNC, the tool can automate most applications. E.g. Java, C++/C#, .NET, HTML (web/browser), mobile, command line interfaces; also, applications usually considered impossible to automate like Flash/Flex, Mobile etc.
• Support of Java test scripts as well as a proprietary scripting language.
• Record & Replay capability.
• Support of testing over the RFB protocol (better known as VNC).
• Open architecture with extension interface allows easy customization and integration. E.g. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or integration with a relational DB via JDBC.
• Powerful multiple image search allows changing of window layout, button position etc.
• Object search & background detection to detect objects by color, by color range, and on different backgrounds. E.g. Radar object detection, GIS map testing etc.
• Tight integration with T-Plan Professional.
• Excellent support services.

T-Plan Robot is a highly adaptable, easy to use image based black box testing tool that creates robust automated test cases, and exercises applications in the same way as would an end user. Robot is platform independent (Java) and runs on and automates all major systems such as Windows, Linux and Unix plus certain mobile platforms.  The product has the same functionality, look and feel regardless of OS. There is no need to relearn the product on various platforms, and your scripts are completely transferable between platforms.

Robot is unlike any tool you are likely using today. It offers you the ability to approach application testing from the end-user perspective, providing critical validation that what you want the customer to see, they will actually get.

The fact is that if you are not using Robot, you may be testing your code and qualifying that it does not have any bugs that a computer can detect, but a computer isn't a person. A person doesn't read and see code, when they are using an application they work with. Therefore, without testing your application's interface by seeing the product, can you really confidently say that you know your application will deliver the desired experience; that your customer will thank you for, in delivering a quality product?
