Version 1.0 of TestersDesk.com Community Edition (FREE) released

Dear member,

The first version of the Free Online Community Edition of www.TestersDesk.com is released on the 27th of March 2009.

All the registered users during the beta phase are members of the first release as well, and can happily continue to use the Community Edition for any purpose.

During this tough times, we continue to stand and accelerate our R&D in building tools that help testers in the areas of Test Design and Test Data Generation for Software Functionality Testing. The sequence of awards in the last one year, the ever growing world-wide userbase; and the alarming need for speed in test design drive us in building the toolkits.

What’s new?

The toolkits have come a long way in terms of their own quality, and following are a few points to note on what’s new-

• The tools take inputs in different languages now. 
  
• There are new design tools (T-way TestCase Generator that can generate tests with 3-way,4-way,5-way interaction coverage, there are tools to create subsets out of larger sets and to generate permutations). 
  
• There are several Common Test Data Generators that software functionality testers need from day-to-day. 
  
• The interface has been productized into a rich application both in terms of look and feel; as well as on the data-orientation parts like CSV/XML support etc. 
  
• More help has been added in the homepage (articles/video) as well as at the tool level inline help.
  
• A new tool titled “OS Information Scripts” has been added that provides vb script utilities that can be used in test investigation and collecting system information. 
  

What next?

• The Community Edition will continue to serve the testing community free of cost. We will add more tools, user feedback as a continuous process.
• As a general note on our value roadmap, we have several new types of tools under development, planned for release later this year; mainly a Test Automation Data Accelerator and an Auto Test Case Author, both of which target generic Software Functionality Testing. The members of the Community Edition will be notified when these commercial tools are ready.
  

Thanks,
Ashwin.
