On this page you find the most commonly asked questions about Conformiq tools as well as automated test design™.
If you can´t find what you are searching from here, you are welcome to contact us.

Complexity of Modelling

It seems that models are more complex to create than traditional test plans. So how can your approach be more productive than the traditional one? answer

Required Skills

Our test engineers are not familiar with neither Java nor UML, and it seems that both are needed in order to create the system models. Wouldn´t it be prohibitively expensive and difficult to train all our testing experts to become modelers? answer
Currently we do not apply modeling in system design nor in system implementation. Is it a prerequisite for using your tool use that we already apply modeling in these areas? answer

Test Case Generation

How does the actual test generation work? Does the tool generate random tests? How can it create tests on par with those created by real test engineers? answer

Test Harnesses

Our test execution system is complex and proprietary and is based on scripting language "xyz" with lots of custom libraries. We believe that maybe your tool has been successful at some other companies with more standard test beds, but it most likely cannot be applied to our particular system. Is this true? answer

Testing of GUIs and web services

Your tool can be a nice fit for telecom protocols, but we work with Windows and web user interfaces and web services. Can your tool connect to these interfaces? answer

Competition

You are not alone in this market segment, and there are other tools like "abc" and "xyz" which are also "model-based testing" tools and seem to have similar value proposition. Do you differ from these tools? Why should we invest in you instead of any of your competitors? answer

Return on investment

How long does it take before my own engineers will be productive with the tool? answer
