iTest is an integrated test authoring and execution solution built for testers, developers, and automation teams. It provides QA organizations with a unified approach for rapidly developing, automating, and maintaining test cases.
iTest maximizes productivity and cuts costs by enabling testers, developers, and automation teams to automate testing practices at several key levels: process, asset sharing, and communication.
