The Matador QA System&trade

The Matador QA System� performs integration or data-driven testing; pinpointing errors quickly and accurately. It is a highly integrated, easy to use, flexible, automated software testing solution for heterogenous environments and complex data. Matador automates testing and solves challenges not addressed by traditional test automation tools. It is effective no matter the size of your testing challenge; a single file or the integration of 100-plus IT systems.

Automates end-to-end integration testing in complex environments

A single Matador test can test complex data as it flows through messaging technologies, point-to-point interfaces, packaged software, legacy applications, databases, files, web services, etc.

Pinpoints error location with customizable test results reporting

Matador Error Reports pinpoint error location, greatly reduce error resolution time and find errors not easily detectable through manual testing processes. Error reports are customizable to provide both the granularity needed to quickly diagnose root cause as well as provide metrics needed for managing the testing process.

Standards-based architecture makes Matador easy to learn & use

Matador is based on open, standard technologies. Automated tests are easily configurable and do not require programming knowledge or learning proprietary skills. Matador's common framework lets testing organizations leverage less experienced resources as well as retain and reuse existing test assets, which is important in organizations with a significant but often unorganized testing infrastructure in place.

Auto-documents business and technical testing knowledge

In addition to being automated executable test scripts, Matador tests are readable regardless of technical or business "dialect". This means that documentation is a by-product of creating automated test scripts, not a separate task. This not only eliminates work, it ensures "documentation" stays up-to-date and facilitates knowledge transfer by having testing knowledge in a common framework.

Supports both Agile and Planned development methodologies

Matador's light weight framework allows it to work equally well with both agile testing and planned development efforts and actually addresses weaknesses in both methodologies. By combining automated script and documentation together Matador addresses the key criticisim with agile methods: lack of documentation. As well as addressing the key criticism with planned methodologies: too much documentation that quickly becomes out of date.
