T-Plan Robot Enterprise (formerly known as VNCRobot) is the most flexible and universal black box automation tools on the market.

Developed on image based testing principles, it provides a human like approach to record and playback of user actions at the GUI level; and it performs well in situations where other tools may fail.

With a long history in QA Test Automation, controlling repeatable actions at the screen level, our software is an ideal fit for replicating the user actions of a human in the new industry of automated processing, otherwise known as Robotic Process Automation or RPA.

T-Plan Robot Enterprise is very versatile and functions as a GUI Test Automation Tool (pdf), or as a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Tool (pdf).

T-Plan Robot is a highly adaptable, easy to use, image based black box automation tool that creates robust automated scripts, 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, Mac, Linux and Unix plus 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 environments.

Robot is unlike any tool you are likely using today. It offers you the ability to approach application automation from the end-user perspective.

Nearly all automation products manipulate and check at the code object level. This source instrumentation is not possible in many new and legacy applications today. E.g. lack of API or SDK, skill set has disappeared, bypass of UI security is forbidden.

A person doesn’t read and see code, when they are using an application they work with. Therefore, without automating your application’s interface by seeing the product, can you really confidently say that you know your application will deliver the desired experience, or automate that business process in RPA terms.

T-Plan Professional was arguably the first test management tool to be sold b2b. Since T-Plan’s inception for a project at the Bank of England to dematerialise share certificates in 1989, T-Plan has continually developed the T-Plan Test Case Management Suite. The product is modular in design, clearly differentiating between the analysis, design and management of the test assets from planning to execution.

The T-Plan Test Case Management Suite is optionally sold as a “Software-as-a-Service” (SaaS) solution. Available as a centrally managed hosted solution, with your MSSQL data in the cloud, or application and data on-premise, we are delighted to offer our functionally rich client server application via this incredible solution. more…

Analyze: ‘What to Test’
The first step within the Analyze phase is to gather and review the requirements from which the testing will be derived. One of the unique selling points of our tool is the best of breed Microsoft Office Integration, which facilitates the importing or exporting of data to and from e.g. Word Documents and Excel Spreadsheets (also XML etc.).
This module also provides statistical reporting metrics for; testing progress, depth of coverage, risk factors and priorities.

Design: ‘How to Test’
A test specification hierarchy is created to model the test plan. This module supports full traceability, filtering, script re-usability, coverage and impact analysis, together with extensive reporting.

Manage: ‘When to Test’
This phase enables the scheduling of test scripts. Normally the test schedule will reflect the appropriate structure necessary for management reporting.
This includes both the Schedule phase and the Test Execution phase. This forms the activity of planning and managing the detailed tasks to be performed once software is available to be tested.

How well are you doing?
‘What happened’ – The execution phase enables the results of executed test scripts (manual and automated) to be recorded. Coverage and success/failure charts can be in the form of a snapshot and/or provide historical graphs highlighting progress. All reports can be exported electronically to file, email or printed directly. Reporting can be tailored your project requirement.
