QACenter Enterprise Edition features enhancements to the Compuware TestPartner functional testing solution, the company said.

Indeed, Compuware TestPartner 5.3 “has allowed us to test our application in an automated fashion,” Sweet said. “This has allowed us to find problems in our code quicker and fix them.”
Among the new TestPartner features that stand out, Sweet said, are “the VBA [Visual Basic for Applications] and Object for .Net features that allow us to test our VBA and .Net code. Using this we can also perform tests quicker through our APIs.”
