Tool for early lifecycle testing
Software developers are open to a new testing approach proposed by ThoughtWorks, a consultancy with product plans. Developers need to test early and often if they want to deliver quality code, according to experts. With that in mind, tool makers and developers are welcoming the idea of a breakthrough in the testing arena.
ThoughtWorks, a consultancy known for its work in agile computing, told eWEEK of its plans to enter the product business with a functional testing tool named Tide.
The notion behind Tide comes from the need to manage functional tests independent of the way developers write software. That idea is something ThoughtWorks worked on with Ward Cunningham, who invented the concept and created Fit, the Framework for Integrated Testing.
Tide will "sit above the functional testing level" and will make tests derived from functional testing tools, she said. As a first phase, Tide will support the open-source Selenium test tool for Web applications.
