ASTA Benefits

ASTA eliminates the need to develop basic test scripts, freeing testers to focus on higher-value testing. It also enables you to immediately test new functionality without waiting for new test scripts to be written. Faster testing means faster product releases, increasing business value and competitiveness. ASTA is great for smoke testing, initial functional testing, and basic regression testing.

For Software Test Engineers

  • Stop writing and fixing boring test scripts! ASTA takes care of basic testing for you. Focus on the cool stuff instead. ASTA was developed by testers for testers to make testing more fun and productive.
  • Replace complex and fragile test scripts with robust flows. ASTA flows allow you to exercise specific paths through the application using a simple breadcrumb notation. Advanced element matching is immune to changes in field names, labels, classes, and location.
  • Reduce schedule pressure. We know what it's like to be stuck at the end of each sprint and release cycle. ASTA can perform basic tests of new functionality right away with little or no test development, buying you some time to get your job done.

For Product Owners

  • Reduce release risk. Every build comes with the risk that something broke somewhere. ASTA will crawl your entire application after every build to make sure it is healthy and all parts are intact. Objective coverage metrics allow you to quantitatively assess your risk.
  • Accelerate delivery. ASTA complements Agile and DevOps practices with instantaneous automated testing to help get more done in each sprint. Your customers will be happy and your colleagues wil be impressed.

For Scrappy Dev Teams

  • Enjoy the benefits of automated testing. Small teams on a tight budget can now enjoy many of the benefits of automated testing, even if you can't afford full-time automation test engineers.
  • Up your quality. ASTA tests functionality, accessibility, and performance to help you improve the overall quality of your software.

For Large Enterprise Projects

  • Tackle the impossible. Customer enterprise applications can be extremely complex and difficult to test thoroughly. ASTA relentlessly explores every corner of your application to verify correct behavior, including every field of every form.
  • Share test assets and increase efficiency. ASTA rules and flows use a generalized notation that is portable across releases, modules, and even entirely different applications.
