Appian Automated Testing (AAT)

Overview

Appian Automated Testing (AAT) by CEITA is a visual test automation tool, fully integrated with any Appian release, and customized to improve your testing experience. Manual testing is no longer affordable as an overall strategy and although there will be items to be tested manually, but our statistics show that up to 95% of your Appian applications can be automated easily with AAT.  Click here to learn more about AAT on our website.  

AAT Benefits:

• Improve the efficiency of your Quality Assurance process.
• Decrease your QA overall costs, empower your quality standards with an innovative testing style, and with a ROI in months.
• Helps adopt BDD (Behaviour Driven Development), an improvement of Agile methodologies which perfectly suited with Appian and makes your projects even more efficient.
• Perform User Acceptance Testing faster by simply planning your full test overnight and checking the results before your daily stand-up meeting.
• Run it everywhere: Run it from our Cloud, or we can install in your premises*. AAT can be run from dockers and be integrated into your DevOps strategy.

AAT allows the composition of automated testing in Cucumber syntax, using the powerful FitNesse console and is focused on regression and on testing while designing (Behaviour Driven Development).
