[comp.software-eng] Any recommendations for AutoTester by Software Recording Corp.?

lvc@cbnews.ATT.COM (Lawrence V. Cipriani) (08/25/88)

I recently attended a presentation on a test tool to help automate
software testing.  The company is called "Software Recording
Corporation".  The tool they demonstrated is called AutoTester.

I am writing to get comments on this tool from AutoTester users.
General comments about SRC from anyone are also welcome.  How happy
are you with the program and the support you receive?  Do you have
any special problems using it in a UNIX(tm) environment?  How large
are the productivity gains you experienced?  What are its main strengths
and weaknesses?

The productivity gains cited in the presentation were extremely large.
For example, one AutoTester customer went from 50 full time testers,
who were always behind schedule, to 2.  Now they regression test their
software every Friday whether it needs it or not!

They mentioned Hewlett-Packard has a corporate license for AutoTester.
Anyone from HP care to comment?

If you are interested in AutoTester you can reach SRC at:

	Software Recording Corporation
	6060 N. Central Expressway, Suite 122
	Dallas, Texas 75206
	(214) 368-1196

Please email to me and I will summarize the mail.  Thanks in advance.
