What does using Axe mean for me in my specialist role?

Axe allows me to make the following available:

  • The ability to quickly mobilise automation projects with my existing test resources - mobilise in days not months
  • Increases the testing throughput of my team by a productivity factor of around four against traditional test automation approaches and more importantly delivers it quicker and in a consistent manner
  • Axe gives me the ability to achieve the benefit associated with Agile and Test Driven Development (TDD) approaches
  • Using Axe allows my test team to be flexible in terms of changing projects where demand dictates whilst still ensuring the same Quality processes and deliverables are delivered
  • From a maintenance perspective, Axe wins "hands down" against traditional approaches as the assets are maintained in the tool every tester knows - Excel
  • Axe delivers auditability across the testing process from requirements to execution, results are comprehensive and can be used by everyone involved in the development lifecycle from the Business through Development to the test team and back!

What our clients say:

"With the scope and complexity of recipient clients we need to deliver to, Quality is one of our most important criteria. Axe allows us to operate a continuous change-based environment. This ensures testing is no longer a constraint on our requirement to deliver the highest quality systems quickly to a large number of clients simultaneously."

"Axe really does bring real-life Agile testing to clients, possibly delivering the best tool on the market for combining the capture of knowledge and requirements and rapidly allowing automation of those requirements to define the acceptance criteria for development to meet. In addition it allows detailed information for resolution of defects and a speedy path to allowing the automation to be repeated quickly and accurately."

"The unique thing about Axe is its ability to start the automation process before the application is delivered. Also its ability to produce manual Test cases and automation almost as a by-product marks it out as a leader in the automation field."
