Testuff Software Management Suite Selected to Replace IBM's Solution on Colleges
Testuff was selected to replace IBM's solution, as the platform for students to learn and practice software testing. Students will perform their exercises using Testuff test management solution, and will learn how testing is done in the 'real-world'
TEL AVIV, Israel, April 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Testuff [http://www.testuff.com ], a global provider of SaaS based test management
solution, today announced that two of Israel's leading technical institutions, Ben Gurion
University and the Shamoon College of Engineering, recently selected Testuff test
management solution to help train their students in software testing.
When asked why they had begun phasing out IBM test management tools in their
respective software engineering classes, both schools pointed to the speed and ease of
implementation, and quality of Testuff test management suite.
Offered in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, Testuff tools require no discs,
hardware, or on-site installations. Instead, the subscription-based online suite allows
users to access the tools no matter where they are (watch the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRdl3846NpQ).
The teachers at Ben-Gurion University reportedly create practice exercises, and
monitor progress from the comfort of their offices or even from home. Meanwhile, the
students completed their homework and ran simulations using the university lab, local
coffee shops, and anywhere else they could find a connection.
For the Shamoon College of Engineering, ease-of-use was arguably more important than
flexibility. Minutes after registering, students were up and running without needing
on-site training or even instructional manuals.
However, flexibility and convenience are merely luxuries in an industry driven by
methodical rigor. Whether for commercial applications or to train students, software
testing is a discipline with little margin for error. Displacing IBM required a level of
quality that neither ease-of-use nor mobility could ever overshadow.
Testuff chalks this success to its unique approach for ensuring the highest standards
of quality. According to Co-founder, Gil Bloom, "We focus on problems first, then
solutions. Next we solicit feedback from users, explore contingencies, and restart the
entire process." He adds, "The suite is never finished - our frequent updates speak to the
immediate needs of our users."
In the past, these users have traditionally been R&D labs and engineering departments
within the corporate world. But the addition of Ben Gurion University and Shamoon College
represents a growing shift towards training aspiring testers with the very software tools
they'll use once in the field.
As Testuff continues to carve out a niche in academia, Bloom believes it represents
the future of software testing. "With over 4,500 registrations spread across over 40
different countries, our test management tools are highly relevant in the here and now."
He adds, "But because schools like Ben Gurion and Shamoon increasingly use our suite to
train today's students, the testers of tomorrow will continue to demand the quality to
which they've grown accustomed."
