eTAP™ Test Infrastructure Toolkit, consisting of AIM (AppLabs Infrastructure Management), helps enterprises manage test infrastructure remotely and efficiently. This multi-tenant inventory and infrastructure management web application interfaces with Test Automation tools, providing an environment for management of un-attended test execution and results monitoring.
AIM at a Glance:
|
Core Capability |
What it Does |
What Does it Mean to You |
| Centralized Test Lab Management | Allows test lab admins to centrally manage heterogeneous test infrastructure and test configurations including the policies by which resources are allocated and consumed by multiple groups | Flexible and highly efficient approach for managing shared virtual infrastructure (including VMware/Microsoft) and multiple test configurations to save time and money |
| Automated Test Configuration Provisioning | Allows testers and automated scripts to safely reserve test lab capacity without conflicts and to provision test configurations on a scheduled or on-demand basis with no manual intervention | Superior resource utilization means testing processes are consistently executed regardless of software complexity, the number of configurations / testers, or the testing method |
| Secure Browser-Based Access | Allows testers to reliably request and securely access test configurations 24x7 using a standard browser; firewall-friendly remote access technology supports RDP, VNC, and native protocols | Ensures development and test personnel – in any location worldwide – to access test configurations via a self-service portal without requiring access to the physical hosts |
| Capture and Restore | Allows testers and automated scripts to save and restore test configurations (including results) without tying up valuable resources | Facilitates rapid collaboration between development and test teams to resolve defects without halting the testing process |
| Measurement and Reporting | Standard reports measure resource use; separate schema for rapid custom report development using 3rd-party SQL tools | Accurately track test resource and test configuration use for capacity planning, chargeback, and continuous improvement needs |
| Enterprise Readiness | Integrates with build, patch, and test management systems (including HP Quality Center and IBM Rational) via open APIs and CLI | Best-of-breed approach leverages and protects your investments in people, processes, and enterprise systems |
