The Problem This Solution Solves
Application and system owners must perform either partial or full regression testing of their systems before applying the patches to production systems. This testing effort can span days to weeks depending on the complexity of the system or application and cause testing resources to have to redirect from ongoing efforts. “Bricked” end points, malfunctioning applications, and testing delays halt operations with ramifications across all military commands and defense agencies. This directly impacts the operation of the DoD’s highest value assets. As part of a broader rapid patching effort, DoD must reduce timelines to address vulnerabilities in each of its systems across a variety of defense end points, including workstations and servers, mobile devices, peripherals, infrastructure, IoT, and platform IT systems. The purpose of the testing is to ensure the stability and functionality of those systems and applications has not been affected in a negative manner by the patch itself.
The Solution
Tricentis offers industry leading no-code test automation solutions for UI, API, Performance and Data; said solutions are designed to drastically reduce time spent testing software. Tricentis’ product capabilities accelerates the release of patches to the warfighter. The common concern warfighters share around the rapid release of patches to systems operating inside of theater is largely due to a fear of system failure which would endanger mission integrity. The Tricentis solution allows manual testers/non-technical users to quickly create automated tests which validate application and system functionality, regardless of system type, after patch deployment. To ensure visibility, the platform includes real-time reporting & monitoring which can be customized to suit any program’s need.
