Axe Test Automation Platform - Overview
Axe is a test automation platform that greatly increases productivity and drastically reduces maintenance overheads for test automation. It uses simple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as a means to define and model test scenarios and code generation techniques to rapidly generate robust, self-documented automation code. Axe is unique and proven in enabling automation in an Agile environment. 
Axe integrates with tools from the leading commercial suppliers; Microfocus, HP, IBM Rational, t-Plan, open source web testing tool WatiN, Watir, Selenium and Odin's own SOA test tool AxeHarness (now bundled with Axe).
