Capabilities built for the real world

The Next Gen Testing Platform is not just another automation tool — it’s designed to do testing better. It offers real-world capabilities to help improve every phase of testing.


Use the Next Gen Testing Platform to test web and desktop applications, APIs and microservices, data and ETL functions, mainframes and more — even in the same test!

  • Easy-to-understand, English-like testing syntax
  • Ready-made steps for common user actions on web, API, desktop, mainframe and other platforms
  • 120+ pre-built reusable components
  • Customization when and where you need it

Our comprehensive platform offers capabilities you won’t find anywhere else. Built from our real-world experience, these features include:


Clients have seen a 65% reduction in automation ramp-up time and 74% increase in automation coverage.*

Automated test design and execution

Key capabilities

Friendly UI and Test Design

We built a user interface to make automated testing easy for everyone. Without any coding, you can create, edit and execute tests in English-like sentences that anyone can understand

  • Intuitive design
  • Drag and drop
  • English-like sentences anyone can read
Web/Cross-Browser

Testing across multiple browsers is as easy as a few clicks

  • Supports Chrome, IE, new and legacy Edge, Firefox and headless execution
  • Supports integration with cloud-based platforms like Browser Stack and SauceLabs
  • Achieve maximum speed by running tests across browsers in parallel
Desktop/Windows

We built our own desktop automation capabilities to free you from expensive vendor products

  • Supports .NET, C#, C++, WPF, WinForms and other common Windows desktop technologies
  • Integrates with web, API and data steps in the same test and results report
  • 2-3x faster than other well-known tools for desktop automation
Mainframe

Our mainframe emulator and automation driver allows you to automate mainframe screens with minimal effort. This is an important capability to automate tests or data creation for systems with legacy mainframe integrations

  • Validate end to end flow across front end, backend, API and mainframes
  • Integrate with your existing testing stack and CI/CD pipeline
  • Supports 3270 protocol including SSL authentication
  • Intuitive reporting with detailed steps and screenshot captures
API

Write and execute fast API or microservices tests with truly business friendly steps

  • Custom, truly business friendly steps – not pseudo-BDD
  • Support to all kinds of APIs – REST, SOAP, HTTP, etc.
  • Able to validate response codes, content or custom validations and capture in results report
  • Integrates with web, desktop and data steps in the same test and results report
Data and ETL Testing

Capabilities for both lightweight and high volume and complexity data and data transformation testing

  • Run transformations and comparisons on millions of records of data using business friendly steps
  • Executes 20% faster than other common ETL testing tools in head-to-head comparison of the same tests
  • Connect to most common data sources and file formats
  • *ETL testing capabilities available as a Workbench
Pre-Built Steps/Utilities

With our years of testing and domain experience, the NG platform is packed with pre-built utilities and steps that facilitates accelerated development and execution of automated tests

  • Libraries contain over 120 prebuilt reusable utilities, assets and capabilities
  • File readers/writers (CSV, XLSX, XML, JSON, etc)
  • Locator generators
  • PDF validations
  • Accessibility/ADA testing
  • And more
Patented Self-Healing

Spend less time maintaining your automated test suite with our patented self-healing capability to update object locators automatically

  • Reduces locator maintenance by up to 75%
  • Focus on building new tests rather than fixing tests that are broken due to UI changes
  • Supports shift-left and in-sprint automation with less worry of maintenance
  • Other use cases include running the same scripts across different application versions or environments without changes
Data Faking and Autofill

Ability to generate and provision “on demand” synthetic data on the fly and automatically fill in entire forms

  • Enhance speed of tests significantly avoiding precondition steps to setup/create test data
  • Increase test coverage with the usage of synthetic data with variety
  • Create “data personas” and “data families” to create reusable, cloneable sets of data that reflect specific attributes you care about
  • Includes data generators for everything from names, addresses and phone numbers to vehicle information, books, occupations and ID numbers
Parallel Execution

Increase test execution speed by running multiple tests in parallel in an uninterrupted fashion by distributing tests across various available resources

  • Run 10+ tests in parallel locally or containers via Docker or Kubernetes
  • Integrate with CI/CD to run tests in parallel across multiple deployments/environments
  • Ability to invoke multiple tests within cloud-based providers like Browserstack and SauceLabs
Reporting

Easily digestible automatically generated reports with summary view as well as detailed execution information, steps and screenshots

  • Integrates with common test management tools like ALM via TestManaJ
  • Powerful metric calculation and visualization via EY Test Report Datamart
  • Customizable visual standard testing metrics
Additional capabilities
  • Headless execution
  • Execution of tests without launching a browser
  • Improved performance of test execution
  • Integration with test management tools (MicroFocus ALM, JIRA, etc.)
  • Seamless integration of test artifacts and reporting with your existing test management tools
  • Plug’n’play library components
  • Technology stack and architecture allows you to integrate any java module/library and seamlessly extend functionality
  • Multiple supported data formats for flexibility
  • YAML, JSON, EXCEL, CSV
  • Accessibility testing
  • CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Mobile testing
  • Bespoke automation drivers and utilities for legacy or in-house applications use cases include running the same scripts across different application versions or environments without changes
