Ascential
Continuous integration aims at automating tasks to verify and generate deployable builds as often as possible.
Testing is an essential step in this process, and test automation is necessary to achieve this goal.
Why Automate Testing?
Every team tests its products, yet all delivery includes defects.
Testers strive to catch them: some always remain, while others reappear, no matter how thorough the manual testing.
Test automation is the best way to supplement your manual testing, and improve the efficiency and coverage of your testing operations.

AscentialTest is Built for Agile, DevOps and Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration and Delivery require on-demand testing.
As the frequency of change has increased with the way in which we develop software today, the requirement for automated tests is even more critical.
Yet if automated tests are to be useful, they must be easy to develop and maintain.

- Build Test Faster and Easier using drag & drop
- Update tests with minimum effort
- Built-in Test Management for advanced scenarios
- Collaborate and Increase Productivity
AscentialTest users build tests from reusable components so that changes can be isolated to the smallest unit.
When the target application changes, only impacted object definitions or steps require change. All of the tests that use those components are automatically updated. This approach not only enables rapid test development, but it also reduces the cost, time and level of effort to keep tests up to date so that they are ready to run when needed.
To support CI and DevOps, AscentialTest provides a growing number of integration features:
- Automated Testing with Jenkins for Continuous Integration
- Integration with Azure DevOps for Continuous Integration
- Integration with Jira for Defect Tracking
- Integration with Subversion for Version Control
- Integration with GIT and TFS for Version Control coming soon
- Integration with Azure DevOps for Defect Tracking coming soon
