"HighTest 5.5 is awesome! I love the additions that I have been able to implement in it. They make this all so easy!"

Rick R.
QA Engineer
(Beta Tester)

"Having worked nearly daily with Vermont Creative Software’s, Vermont HighTest Plus for the past 5+ years, I can unequivocally say that this program provides more “Bang for the Buck” than any other software in its class and the new features in version 5.5 provide very impressive results against Windows® Internet Explorer®. Its quality, trainability and versatility are, as always, top shelf. Thanks VCS."

John Allen, QC/QA
Document Processing Systems, Inc.

"We test all types of applications and develop supporting documentation for clients. I really need a fast way to record and replay regression testing that we do and we needed a basic, but fairly robust automated test application with a good reporting tool. HighTest meets these needs perfectly. I'll probably annouce locally in the business trades that I have selected you as a solution service/partner."

The Windows & Web Testing Tool That's Easy To Use
 

Automated Software Testing for Windows and the Web

Vermont HighTest Plus is a Windows-based software regression-testing tool for testing stand-alone or browser-based applications. With our direct integration into Internet Explorer, testing a web-based application or website is as easy as testing any other application. Just use the application as you normally would, and HighTest will take care of the rest. Or you can customize the generated scripts to harness the full power of HighTest. HighTest gives you the flexibility to work the way you want to, in a product that is easier to use than ANY other automated software testing tool on the market.

Easy To Use

Vermont HighTest is created specifically for Windows and Web developers to break the barrier to automated software testing that many people face - the tool is more complicated and difficult to use than the application they are trying to test. Vermont HighTest is testing software that solves this problem by giving you all of the features and power you need for extensive software testing in a tool that is straightforward, logical, and easier to use than any other product of its kind.

Here are some of the power features that you get with Vermont HighTest:

• No additional programming languages needed
• Web testing with Internet Explorer integration provides full support for controls within a browser window
• Object Support for all standard Windows controls
• Enhanced Object Support allows HighTest to "learn" about some controls
• Full scripting language with variable, loops and conditionals
• Create functions in the script and pass parameters to/from them.
• Complete file and directory controls from within your scripts
• Record and playback Mousewheel actions
• Capture and compare windows, screens and file contents
• Easily read data from a file into script variables
• Masking of non-critical areas that change from run to run
• Suite Manager for combining playback of multiple tests
• Extract virtually any piece of data from any supported control
• Integrated Window Inspector to view the properties of any window
• Integrated Debugger allows you to step through tests one line at a time and examine the value of variables in real-time

Web Testing - Finally a solution to the problems we all see

With the rise of the web and the easy availability of development tools for browser-based applications, it seems like everyone jumped on the bandwagon to develop applications that run inside a browser. That's great , except that you need to be able to test them before you can release them. Vermont HighTest Plus makes web testing as easy as testing a Windows application. You only need to run your web application in Internet Explorer and Vermont HighTest records your actions within the browser just as it does for Windows applications. If you click on a link, or a button, HighTest  records that fact automatically for you. So you get the same, clear, concise scripts when web testting  as you do with any Windows application.  It's as easy as that. There are no special steps you need to take, nor do you need to know any archane HTML script tags. All you need to know is how to run your application! No other testing software on the market makes it as easy as HighTest!

Quality Assurance The Way It’s Supposed To Be

Automated Software Testing doesn't need to be difficult or expensive. Vermont HighTest was built around a few basic principles and they have been its guiding light ever since. We started with the difficulty of creating scripts and that scripting by recording your actions must be accurate. Next, the script that is generated should not be so complex that you have to be a programmer to use it. So we created a scripting language specifically for HighTest that contains only the commands needed for testing and uses plain English commands that are easy to read and understand. And more than anything else, the program MUST be easy to use. Face it, we’re not all rocket scientists, so the software must conform to common standards, have an intuitive interface that doesn’t get in your way and is simple enough that you don’t have to read the manual to understand it.

With Vermont HighTest Plus, you get easy-to-use software that doesn’t require that you be a programmer to use it, is powerful enough so that if you are a programmer, you will find the tools that you need and it is backed by one of the best technical support policies in the industry — a combination that can’t be beat!

If you listen to our customers, you will find that we have achieved these goals and starting with the release of Vermont HighTest 4.0, have built on that base with versions that are even easier to use than ever before! To top that off, we are still offering FREE technical support via phone, fax and email. And not just by anybody — we believe that the people best able to answer your questions are the developers of the software, ensuring that you get fast and accurate answers to your questions.

A Full Featured Program

Vermont HighTest is a full-featured automated software testing tool that runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 and XP and is much faster and easier to use than any other testing tool on the market. You don't need extra hardware; you don't need to buy Visual Basic; you don't even need to be a programmer to use it effectively!

Vermont HighTest, A Premium Grade Windows Testing Tool

Testing is crucial to the success of your applications. It can also be a nightmare. The only way to test properly and assure the quality of your work and the satisfaction of your customers is to test completely as you go along - after every change and fix you make. Manually that would take forever. Most so-called "automated" testing and quality assurance tools require almost as much work as manual testing.

Build Test Scripts With The Click Of A Mouse

HighTest gives you two ways to create test scripts. Either automatically record scripts as the application is run or build tests from scratch, using HighTest's flexible and full-featured scripting language. Either way it's intuitive, logical and remarkably easy.

Interactive Suite Manager

In serious testing, managing your collection of script files, screen captures, archived files and log files can seem virtually impossible. HighTest makes the process convenient and easy with its Interactive Suite Manager.

With HighTest's Interactive Suite Manager, combining test scripts is as simple as pointing and clicking. Rearrange them by dragging and dropping. And you can do it all with no programming! HighTest's Suite Manager is more than just a database manager, it's an interactive environment for test suite development by enabling you to:

• Set and reset the condition of your desktop
• Organize your test scripts
• Combine scripts into extensive test suites
• Program loops to execute script(s) multiple times
• Set testing hierarchies
• Insert comments
• Playback one script or an entire suite of scripts

Three Important Final Points

The Danger Of Bugs

A bug-laden release can kill your product and business. In software development, all it takes is one inferior release to destroy your reputation. The only way to ensure quality software is to test; methodically, rigorously and continually. That's what Quality Assurance is all about!

Test Each Module

Don't wait until you're late into development or when the product is completed to use Vermont HighTest. Every phase of software development, from specification to implementation has a testing component. HighTest can help you test each module as created. Then when you begin integration, your test suite is ready to help you verify the integrity of your code.

Reduce Your Testing Effort

Vermont HighTest will pay for itself repeatedly in time savings and quality assurance. The marketplace demands you produce Windows programs in a timely manner; with HighTest you can significantly reduce your testing effort - an enormous segment of software development.
