Revision Adds Strategic Additions and User Requested Enhancements to multi-platform uniform test scaffold

Menlo Park, CA. 25 September 2001 – The Open Group recently announced the release of TETware professional 1.3.  This enhanced version of the TETware professional software test framework gives current and future customers the opportunity to significantly increase the productivity of their software testing.  TETware professional is a multi-platform uniform test scaffold, into which non-distributed and distributed test suites can be incorporated.  It has a graphical user interface (GUI) written in Java, and supports testing on UNIX® operating systems, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 9x, and Linux.

"Testing is essential to ensure that products conform with their design specification and that they will interoperate with other IT products and systems," said Allen Brown, President and CEO of The Open Group.  “TETware professional 1.3 will serve to enable vendors to improve product quality, reduce the cost of testing and get products to market more quickly.”

TETware professional 1.3 has a number of additions to increase usability, including: the addition of database drivers; a Scenario File Generator and Editor; a Remote System Copy facility,; and a new Test Run Setup Wizard.  TETware professional 1.3 has also updated the User Interface, Installation mechanism and Report Writer.

TETware professional 1.3 can trace its roots back to the Test Environment Toolkit (TET) specification in 1989.  The supported release of TET, known as TETware, was first released in 1996.  TETware professional was released in 2000, and is compatible, at an API level, with tests that were developed to run under previous releases.
