Compuware links software testing, Microsoft ALM

TAGS: Application development

Compuware is shipping an upgraded version of its functional testing product for software that works with Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 Team System application lifecycle management package.

Compuware TestPartner 5.4 supports both the new Team System and .Net Framework 2.0, supplementing Team System with enterprise-level functional testing during the software development process.

"It now allows developers and testers to share common testing assets and it allows people to improve the quality of their applications earlier in the lifecycle," said Mark Eshelby, Compuware quality solutions product manager.

Other new features in TestPartner 5.4 include:

* An ActiveData wizard for automatic data parameterization, to build data-driven tests for less-technical users.

* An Import/Export wizard for moving, sharing and archiving test assets.

* Support for the Java 1.4.2 and 5.0 specifications as well as for the SAP 6.20 GUI for HTML and the SAP 6.40 GUI for Windows.

* A test results summary.

When purchased separately, TestPartner 5.4 costs $6,000 per concurrent user. It also can be purchased part of the QACenter Enterprise Edition testing suite, which starts in price at $8,000 per concurrent user.

Earlier this week, Compuware announced an agreement to acquire requirements management software vendor SteelTrace for approximately $20 million.
