Why Automate the Tests of your PowerBuilder Applications?

PowerBuilder applications, being data-centric with rich UIs, generate numerous test scenarios.

Instead of repeatedly executing tests manually, you can define manipulations that will be executed automatically when needed.

Get a better test coverage, less regression bugs and a much better testing productivity.

Why most testing tools don't work well with PowerBuilder?

Most testing tools have difficulties to handle PB applications, because they cannot properly analyze DataWindows and their inner structure.

Other tools would suggest writing custom code, to recognize rows based on column values.

In both cases, you get an extra workload and a poor result.
 

Why AscentialTest is different?

A Unique Approach

AscentialTest drastically reduces the learning curve, test creation time and maintenance efforts.

  • Create blocks of actions with drag & drop
  • Combine and reuse these blocks to create multiple tests
  • Run data-driven tests using Data Management features
  • Updating a block automatically updates the tests using it
Create Tests with Drag & Drop

AscentialTest is not a recorder

Unlike recorders that require to recreate tests with each new version of the application, AscentialTest uses the application objects to define test actions.

Tests are stable, faster to create and easier to maintain.
