Bespoke test tools

Some situations demand a unique solution.  Where this is the case we draw upon our extensive code libraries to ensure that we get a solution up and running as soon as possible.  Examples of bespoke test tools we have built are:

1. An Essbase automated test tool for checking millions of numbers in an Essbase database.  This tool discovered one incorrect value in 300,000 numbers during an over-night run.

2. A test environment set up tool which analysed IBM mainframe production environments and created test versions of them.

3. Test data generators

4. Test harnesses

5. A test oracle used to predict test results in situations where complex calculations are used

6. A tool for comparing word documents with XML equivalents
