Are you doing functional testing, and facing these challenges?
Does your product have to get to market faster?
Is its complexity increasing in every release?
Are your release cycles getting even shorter?
Do you need to reduce testing costs?
If you are facing any, or all, of these challenges, you are reading the right ...

Probably every test manager dreams of a world where test scripts work the first time, where tests and test scripts are maintained automatically, and where our test team spends their time on finding faults and going deeper in the system rather than redoing the same tests again and again because of changes in the specification. A dream where every ...
Many conferences in Europe target testing, but if I need to choose just one, I definitely choose UCAAT!
The Conformiq team was in Sophia Antipolis, France last week at UCAAT, demonstrating our solutions. For anyone who does not know about UCAAT, it is ETSI’s annual User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing, focusing on both automated test ...
Most of you probably know or have at least heard that Model Based Testing (MBT) is a new innovative technology in which tools help you to create better tests with automated generation, and with Conformiq the generation is automatic plus provides a direct path to automated test execution, but that is not the topic of this blog. What I want to ...
Tech Mahindra – an Indian multinational specialist in digital transformation, consulting and business re-engineering solutions across the Enterprise/IT and Communications markets– has created a DevOps platform called “Continuous Test Management” or CTM for short where an integral part is “Continuous Testing” as they call it. CTM is essentially a ...
Conformiq is a technology provider for advanced Model Based Test (MBT) automation. At the heart of this capability is our engine which automatically generates functional test cases from a model of the system you are testing. The technology assumes no implementation details of the system and we validate whether the given system conforms to its ...
Creating a system model – a model that directly describes the intended system behavior – is “easier” than creating tester models – models that describe the testing strategies themselves. This position has been demonstrated both within practical and theoretical frameworks. This correlates well with day-to-day observations of test managers: ...
We are asked every now and then whether Conformiq Designer is a tool for testers or a tool for developers. After all, it is a tool for automated test design and it automatically generates tests from computer readable models that describe the intended behavior of the tested system. It is important to understand that these models do not directly ...
Every now and then Conformiq Designer and Creator are compared against other testing tools that employ one type of test design heuristic, for example a combinatorial testing tool for generating optimized pair-wise test data. The capability of generating such combinatorial data combinations is one testing method that in practice has been observed ...
Test design concerns making the decisions on (1) what to and what not to test, (2) how to stimulate the system and with what data values, and (3) how the system should react and respond to the stimuli. It is a separate task from test execution and is done before executing the tests against the system. Test design techniques, on the other hand, are ...
Some time ago I wrote a short blog post about equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis. Now with new version of Conformiq Designer coming out very soon we have introduced quite a few new testing heuristics and coverage options that are based on equivalence class partitioning I wanted to write about how Conformiq can use these new ...
Suppose a system model states that when a message comes in, it is forwarded out unchanged. This particular message has a number of fields, some of them integers, some strings. For some reason there is cause to suspect that the forwarding feature in the real implementation might be flawed, so we would like to have a number of different message ...
