Cannot Reproduce

Why Can’t a Bug Be Fixed?

− Poorly documentedsteps to reproduce

− Lack of visibility into the tester’s actions

− Environment differences

Developer-Tester Ping-Pong

−Bug is batted back and forth.

−A lot of wasted effort.−Collaboration is low.

Quickly Discover theRoot Cause of Any Bug

“…the realization came over me

with full force that a good part of

the remainder of my life was going

to be spent in finding errors in my

own programs.”

IntelliTrace™

IntelliTrace enablescollaboration

between developers and testers by

creating a sharedhistorical

perspective.

Like a DVR for Developers

−Debug history with DVR-like functionality

−Examine code execution

−Identify issues that cause bugs

Automate Functional Testing

70%of all functional testing is still done manually.

Automate Testing with Coded UI Tests

−Automate functional tests.

−Record actions or import action recording from test.

−Easily repeatable.

Coded UI Test

demo

− Create richer actionable bugs.− Environment Snapshots.

− Quickly debug issues in the same environment.− Connect to the test environment

snapshot with network isolation.

− Automate end-to-end workflow− Out of the box build-deploy-test
