New TestQuest 10 is now available
TestQuest 10, a major new release of the Bsquare automated test technology, helps software developers and OEMs get their products to market more quickly, saving time and money while at the same time
increasing software and device quality.
Watch an on-demand Webinar that details how automated testing can benefit agile development environments. This latest version of the technology, which combines the flexible, extensible test creation of TestQuest Pro and the distributed, scalable test execution of TestQuest CountDown, helps automate testing in minimal time.
One of the key features of TestQuest 10 is the technology's integration into Microsoft Visual Studio, the most popular commercially available development tool. With TestQuest 10 designing and executing test cases is easy and fast; there's no ramp-up time spent learning new tools, and tests can now be run earlier within the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which improves software quality. TestQuest 10 also integrates into Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Microsoft Management Console (MMC) other familiar tools for distributed test execution and test management.
TestQuest 10 supports test development using C# and .NET managed code, execution under 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 environments. TestQuest 10 also supports the Windows 8 Developer Preview making this new automated test technology from Bsquare an ideal solution for customers developing applications and devices for Microsoft's next-generation operating system.
