When UniCycle is integrated with the Smalltalk Test Mentor, you have a complete end-to-end solution for test creation, execution, problem reporting and fix management. Your QA or development personnel can create problem reports directly from the test execution environment, with all relevant information about the test case and the nature of the problem automatically logged. This creates more accurate problem reports while saving time. Also, your developers have a more complete picture of problems and the steps required to recreate them. Once problems have entered the Lotus Notes tracking system, tasks can be created and allocated to developers so they can provide fixes. The status of a task is monitored through standard Notes interfaces, and is thus customizable.

The Smalltalk Test Mentor is the premier automated testing tool for VisualAge Smalltalk.

You can create test cases composed of recorded user-interface interactions, as well as domain-object tests, all from within the Smalltalk development image. All application and domain object states are addressable so your tests can perform thorough verification of your application and widget states. In addition, all tests generated are 100% pure Smalltalk and are stored in the Envy repository.

The Smalltalk Test Mentor automatically gathers metrics like execution timing and method coverage. It also provides tools to analyze, archive and compare results so you can rapidly measure the health of your project.

The Smalltalk Test Mentor - QA Edition adds the ability to create and execute test cases from a packaged runtime image with no requisite knowledge of Smalltalk, enabling your QA specialists to create a black-box test that exercises your application in its deployed state. In addition, low-level domain-object tests developed with the Smalltalk Test Mentor can be integrated with the body of black-box tests for deep, repeatable, regression testing. Likewise, tests developed by your QA specialist can be merged with the body of development-image tests run by the Smalltalk Test Mentor. Having a common-currency of test cases promotes efficient problem communication between your development and test teams.
