Test mgr. software allows broader, remote user base

With its web interface and expanded domain management, TestShell 5.0 software framework for lab management and test automation lets remote workers, consultants, and external contractors view and reserve lab resources while the lab retains control over access rights. This capability can provide accelerated testing, increased productivity, and cost savings.

The product's object-oriented design offers a next-generation approach to automation that is based on using a shared library of reusable provisioning and testing objects for creating and maintaining automation processes, rather than using a script-based approach. Even non-programmer users can leverage the object library using such GUI tools as interactive diagrams for test topology creation and instrument/lab reservation, right-click provisioning menus, and drag-and-drop automation workflow design.
