Computer Automated Test System (CATS)

CATS (Computer Automated Test System) is a Software testing and Analyzing tool. It is built to test the tracing tool. Tracing tool is software that can analyze the metadata about the message packets in a communication network. CATS will help in efficient testing of the “tracing tool�, this helps in saving time effort and cost. CATS will provide a mechanism to enhance testing of the Remote Interface of tracing tool. Remote Commands will be used to launch the Tracing tool from CATS. CATS is used to send command line parameters of test execution to the Tracing tool. TCPIP Socket Interface is used for connection between Tracing tool and CATS. CATS will connect to Tracing tool, send commands to execute and get the response and display the response to the users in CATS, CATS can be easily configured with the Tracing tool parameters. CATS can generate the results in different formats as text file, generate different graphs, send the execution results to mail, and allow printing the execution results. CATS can run a very large set of test cases and generate the results. Different graphs are provided so that the user can analyze the execution as Passed/Failed. KPI is used to show the Tracing Tool Performance details. VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) program is written which will update the KPI sheets for the new QTP (Quick Test Professional) test cases.
