Testing mission-critical black box software with automation

Testing mission-critical software requires automated black box testing techniques that facilitate full system testing without having to access the internal architecture, code, algorithms, data, or design details of the software or system under test. Test objectives may include compliance with industry standards, regulatory and audit compliance, and extensive test matrices for mission-critical objectives, with documentation and traceability.

To test critical systems in a DevOps environment, use a test automation system with computer vision, model-based testing, parallel execution, and exploratory testing capabilities to maximize test coverage for every release of reliable software — without accessing sensitive source data or code, or modifying systems during test. An intelligent approach that rigorously tests software via the user interface can predict and analyze all possible user journeys while ensuring functionality, data security, and integrity.

Automated black box test solution

Software testing of critical systems, like those found in defense, healthcare, and financial markets, requires non-invasive testing techniques (e.g., user experience [UX] testing). Eggplant Test combines computer vision with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to interface with secure systems without requiring access to the underlying source code or installation of an agent on sensitive, proprietary, or other closed-system hardware. The fusion engine provides parallel execution to increase test coverage, reduce test time, or both.
