SmartBear Software announced a new version of TestComplete that redefines how functional and performance testing is done with script reuse.

TestComplete is now integrated with LoadComplete, SmartBear’s popular load testing solution for websites, mobile and Web apps. Customers deploying the new version are able to repurpose TestComplete functional test scripts for performance testing in LoadComplete.

“Testing cycles continue to get shorter from months to weeks and now even a few hours,” said Nikhil Kaul, Product Marketing Manager, Testing Products at SmartBear. “Achieving higher levels of test automation holds the key to delivering applications at a greater speed and higher quality. With an ability to convert functional tests into performance tests, we are ensuring QA teams have the right tools to succeed in Agile and DevOps environments. The functionality ensures that performance and functional testing are not treated as a stand-alone activity and same set of testing skills as well as assets can be used across disciplines.”

TestComplete’s integration with LoadComplete makes it easy for QA teams to convert functional tests into performance tests. QA teams can increase their level of automation testing and improve time-to-market, thereby reducing test development costs and time. The facilitated reuse of functional tests as performance tests drives efficiency gains as the script logic needs to be written only once, which cuts down testing time and expands coverage. The tests created can then be run as a part of continuous build process to minimize handoffs and get rapid feedback. Most importantly, organizations can leverage their existing QA resources for both functional and performance testing, thereby not leaving any test creation and execution in developers’ hands.
