Tool Technicians
What does using Axe mean for me in my specialist role?
Axe is not just another "Automation tool." It means the following to us:
- Ability for me to serve a number of projects at the same time rather than writing scripts over and over again
- Gives me the chance to lead in the early stages testing teams engaging with automation for the first time, my technical skills are still needed to sort out complex interaction problems between the execution tool and the Application Under Test (AUT)
- Axe allows the underlying test tool to be changed without re-writing the scripts as the assets are stored separately in Excel spreadsheets. This can truly be a blessing when the business needs to change tools but maintain their regression tests. It means the whole test team can carry on to the new toolset with the minimum of disruption
- Axe adds an additional skill to my current technical skills, it doesn't take them away or decrease them, it actually adds value both in my contribution to the team and the business and my market value!
What our clients say:
"Another excellent attribute about Axe is its ability to work with all leading test execution tools and the fact that it can switch from one to another with the minimum of effort. This really does mean that the important things in testing, the test assets are preserved and thus future-proofed."
