For Immediate Release

ACULIS Releases a Friendly Snake
on The Software Testing Community:
Apodora™—An Automated Functional Testing Framework For Web Applications.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - May 16, 2007 - ACULIS Software Development Services unveiled Apodora™, an open-source functional test automation tool for web applications, at the StarEast Software Testing Conference in Orlando, Florida on May 16th, 2007.

"We saw the need for it in our own software testing endeavors, so we developed it", says Seth Southern, Principal Developer of the Apodora Project, "and when something truly works, we like to share the wealth...not to mention the knowledge".

The Apodora Project is hosted at www.apodora.org. Apodora is written in C#, an object-oriented programming language, and boasts key features such as: increased test coverage, decreased test management, a robust automation object repository, the ability to automate testing of multiple technologies, enhanced extensibility, and accessible functionality with advanced and beginner features.

Apodora is different from other automation solutions because individual objects that exist on multiple web pages may be represented in the database as a single object. When an object changes on the website, the user may change a single object in the database and that change will effortlessly propagate throughout any script that uses that object.

Other than the "Scripting Engine" itself, there are a number of features in Apodora that aid in the development and execution of the test scripts. There's an "Object Spy" that allows the users to discover information about the objects in the web page. Apodora includes an "Object Maintenance" tool which gives the user the ability to maintain their objects, as well as a "Reporting Tool" that displays the events that occurred during execution of a test script, and a "Batching Tool" that will allow the user to specify "batches" of scripts that should run in sequence.

"ACULIS has an extensive roadmap for additional features for Apodora", says James Stone, CEO of ACULIS. "By releasing the source code under an open-source license, we wanted to encourage the community to benefit from the tool and to contribute in creating something that is a rich and comprehensive tool for testing web applications", adds Stone.
