SmartBear Leads Innovation for Behavior-Driven Development with End-to-End Test Automation
This release also includes a seamless integration with HipTest , the only native BDD collaborative platform to define test cases and generate living documentation.
SmartBear,
the innovator behind the industry’s highest impact tools to build, test,
and monitor great software, announced TestComplete 14.0,
which features native support for Behavior-Driven
Development (BDD), bridging the gap between technical and
non-technical users. This release also includes a seamless integration
with HipTest,
the only native BDD collaborative platform to define test cases and
generate living documentation. With HipTest and TestComplete, SmartBear
is leading innovation for BDD test automation, improving collaboration
across stakeholders, and enabling organizations to move toward faster
and higher-quality software delivery.
Organizations have turned toward BDD to quickly align and accelerate
team collaboration across the delivery pipeline – allowing for business,
development, and QA teams to speak a universal language while they build
and test new features. Previously, test scenarios written in Gherkin had
to be generated in code or test scripts to be used in TestComplete,
leaving implementation and maintenance to a limited group of technical
teammates. Now, test cases designed and written using the Gherkin syntax
can be easily created, maintained, and converted to automated UI
functional tests with the industry leading object recognition and Record
& Replay technology found in TestComplete, without the need for
additional plug-ins or third-party tools.
"BDD provides a major leap forward for software teams looking to
transform their organizational processes and culture toward a more
collaborative, united mindset for software development," said Anand
Sundaram, Vice President of Products at SmartBear. "SmartBear
continues to lead the BDD marketplace with tools, that include HipTest,
CrossBrowserTesting, TestLeft, and now TestComplete, to accelerate
software delivery."
TestComplete 14.0 also includes a native integration with Jenkins
Pipeline in addition to Freestyle to accelerate your CI/CD pipeline,
support for web testing components such as Shadow DOM and custom
elements, and support for all the latest browser versions and mobile
platforms. Native BDD support and other enhancements in TestComplete
will optimize test automation efforts for all teams thereby paving a
more direct and seamless path to Agile and DevOps.
