Module 5:

AutomationDesk Training (Basic and Advanced) 2 Days Training Course

A key element of effective and efficient testing is the automation of the actual tests. This training course will teach how to simplify your testing process with AutomationDesk, a graphical test automation environment. You will learn how to develop automation sequences with the Sequence Builder and how to use the built in automation functions that serve as interfaces to ControlDesk and third-party tools such as MATLAB®. Finally, you will learn how to automatically generate test reports and manage large test projects, data and results using the Project Manager.
