Automated software testing has been a nescessity for ages, and now the company TestQuest releases its software for Pocket PC, as well. The software connects TestQuest Pro to Pocket PC devices using ActiveSync.
"The TestQuest Pro System automates the process of testing Pocket PC software by mimicking the presence of a user executing a predefined script of actions. The system can initiate button presses, stylus actions, and text entry; it also captures LCD images from the device, and uses text recognition and bitmap comparisons to validate results and determine the success or failure of each test. Flexible and comprehensive test management is also part of the TestQuest Pro system.
The price tag communicates loud and clear: Enterprise only! (Interface module: $7,500. TestQuest Pro: $15,000 - $25,000)
