Application Lifecycle Management | AscentialTest

AscentialTest offers a unique approach of software testing combining Object Based and No Programming Test-Automation

AscentialTest is gradually extending its support for the application and test lifecycle.

Test planning

The Test Plan Editor allows describing and organizing requirements as a plan, list, or scenario. It creates links between manual or automated tests, and data stored in AscentialTest tables.

You can:

  • Add tests to plans by drag and drop
  • Link test cases with data in just a few clicks
  • Locate the tests with a query tool, thanks to test plan attributes.
  • Automatically generate test plans from data tables
  • Choose the number of times for which the same test will be repeated
  • Group multiple test plans into a suite to run them

Defect Tracking

AscentialTest manages the relationship between test results and defects.
It uses Jira for defect tracking.

A failure can be associated with a defect. In this case, when the problem is solved, a notification is sent to have testers execute the test again.

  • Create a defect
  • Assign a test to a defect
  • Invite to create tickets for failed tests
  • Check defects statuses
  • Invite to re-run the tests when problems are fixed
  • Invite to close defects for "successful" tests
  • Edit the status and details of a defect
