Test Automation with AutoUser for Lotus Notes

Workflow tests: Test complete workflows, including automated switching of user IDs and integrated handling of e-mails and doclinks
Load tests: Measure how your application will scale before you roll it out
Performance measuring: Collect hard data on performance issues by sending executable test scripts to your users
Cross-client testing: Check how your current applications will work in new Notes clients or Domino versions
Powerful scripting language: Based on an enhanced VBScript dialect
Log files: Record the results of test runs and store them back into your QA databases

AutoUser is a new tool of choice for Lotus Notes developers that allows you, for the first time, to automate Notes application tests for development and maintenance, or create proof-of-compliance fulfillment in highly regulated industries.

AutoUser's simple user interface, powerful script language, and integrated log file can make a significant contribution to your daily efforts to lower time and costs for manual tests.

The power of AutoUser is its connector technology. AutoUser transparently links itself directly into the Lotus Notes client. From there it extracts all necessary information about the target application and performs all user actions the same way a human user does.
