e-Tester is a functional and regression testing tool that allows you to automate your functional testing processes.

e-Tester was the first testing product to introduce a point-and-click way to build Web application test _script_s. The approach, known as Visual_script_ing , automatically captures and validates all user interactions with all elements of the browser’s Document _object_ Model (DOM), making test _script_ development
uniquely easy for testers of all abilities.

Although e-Tester does not require users to write code to develop most test _script_s, it includes an integrated extensibility module _base_d on Microsoft’s Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) — one of the most popular, easy-to-use programming environments on the market — and provides a full-range of code-_base_d validation capabilities.

e-Tester was designed exclusively to test today’s .NET and J2EE Web applications and is _base_d on Empirix’WebSmart™ transaction technology.The e-Tester WebSmart transaction engine automatically creates test cases to validate the end-user’s experience with your Web applications instead of requiring testers to insert checkpoints manually.The components of that experience are represented graphically in e-Tester Visual _script_s and can be viewed at multiple levels of detail through simple pointand-click actions.

Thanks to WebSmart Transaction Technology, functional test _script_s you record with e-Tester can be re-used — without modification — for performance testing with e-Load. This capability, known as One_script_™, cuts _script_ing time.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS.

Visual _script_ Technology and Automatic Test Case Generation — the Power of WebSmart.
Test your application with reusable, _object_-oriented Visual _script_s that automatically capture and test all Document _object_ Model elements (e.g., anchors, elements, forms, _frame_s, _xml_, images, image maps, _link_s, Active X controls, Java _applet_s, _vb_script__ and _java_script__). Users can specify which _object_s are automatically tested by the Visual _script_s.

Reusable Test Assets — the Power of One_script_.
Reuse Visual _script_s created for functional testing with e-Tester for performance testing with e-Load, without modification.

More Efficient Testing through Automatic Validation.
Visual _script_s automatically capture and validate all application elements through the Document _object_ Model, so you don’t have to remember to program the validation yourself. This validation is performed for all testing — functional or performance testing — giving you better validation than legacy protocol-recorder-_base_d testing products.

_script_ Extensibility with Visual Basic.
Visual _script_s’ functionality can be extended through Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which includes a fully integrated development environment that allows users to step through and debug code, create shared functions and more. Test .NET, J2EE, Service-Oriented, streaming media and wireless applications as well as packaged applications from vendors such as Siebel and PeopleSoft using the same methodology and techniques.
