Datamatics Automated Regression Testing Suite (DARTS)
Datamatics has developed an Automation Test Framework called DARTS, ensuring a complete coverage of testing activities, regardless of the project size or the type of testing. DARTS is a keyword driven automation framework following a component based modular structure that simplifies reuse across diverse applications on various technologies. It follows best practices in Automation Testing. This consists of processes, tools and techniques required to manage and implement an Automation Testing Strategy, devised to carry out system testing across the software lifecycle effectively.
The core principles of DARTS are:
Enterprise Wide Testing Methodologies
Creation of Corporate Assets
Early Warnings and Health checks
Pre-production Testing
Dash Board Reporting
Benefits
Up to 40% effort reduction in regression pack build time
Up to 50% reduction in regression re-use
Automated creation of run cycles with result identification
Faster root-cause identification
Advantages
Faster script building enabled by common and technology specific components
Reduced script maintenance as script change not required for layout changes
Ease-of-use for functional experts
