Normally, testers write scripts on their own, which can be time-consuming, difficult to ensure 100% coverage, and hard to communicate precise requirements coverage achieved to critical stakeholders and clients. Inside Xray Enterprise, the new test case design tool, Test Case Designer (TCD), takes a model-based approach to designing more powerful tests. The tool’s algorithm uses pairwise/combinatorial methods to generate optimized tests based on the parameter models.

To effectively run tests of all the important test-cases and guarantee that all the criteria are being met to the fullest extent feasible, testers must do more than just run the software through its paces; they must also manage, gather, and retain massive volumes of data. These testing datasets are used as input by test cases, from which anticipated and unexpected system behavior may be determined.

A hardware security module (HSM) is a tamper-resistant physical computing device that safeguards and manages digital keys, performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, and provides strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. HSM has mature technology, with high availability, scalability, and usability. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external device that attaches directly to a computer or a network server.

Test orchestration is the arrangement of automated tests into a consecutive sequence for execution. It’s a method that focuses on strategically choosing specific tests (performance, functional, unit, etc.) and deciding on the order of executing tests. Software development teams that adopt test orchestration can streamline the testing process, improve transparency at each testing stage, release faster, and ultimately create a higher quality product.
