Meet Meliora Testlab

Meliora has a human-first view on doing things. Human is always responsible of the outcome, and AI helpers help users make their work better. The tool has AI helper that helps user to do their own work better.

You can co-create test cases with AI from specification documents. The process is easy to follow - AI suggests things to be tested - Test factors and creates tests from list curated by human. The human is always in control, and AI is used where it is best - giving ideas and formulating text.

Use tasks to plan what should be done. Always focus on the right things. Track the effort and status of your team's tasks on task boards.

Tasks are perfect way to concentrate on what is being done at any given moment. The tasks are linked to more permanent assets in Testlab - you will have the easy of use while maintaining repository of important assets.

Consolidate all your essential assets within a unified, centralized hub, facilitating seamless retrieval for everyone - business people, developers, managers, testers and support teams. Say goodbye to the days of buried email threads. Maintain clear visibility of associated requirements and user stories during validation phases. Streamline the data distribution process across your projects, ensuring assets are meticulously organized for optimal findability and utilization.

Each project in Testlab can have its own data, user privileges, and processes in place. The amount of projects you can create in Testlab is not limited.

You can define the project phases you use - let them be sprints, releases, or whatever in Testlab's easy to use Milestones. Milestones let you handle even the largest projects in more manageable sized parts.

Testlab has multiple views that each have a distinct usage from requirements to test design, automation management, handling the issues and reporting. You can use those parts you need and hide those parts for those users that do not need the parts. You can also integrate to other systems if you already have other tracking systems in place.

Meliora Testlab features in-built easy to use user management features which allow you to control what your users can do and see. To make permission management easy Meliora Testlab offers you a role-based permission model that you can customize for your company if needed.

Meliora Testlab allows you to design and keep your specification related assets up to date with intuitive requirement management features. With a hierarchical tree-like specification structure, the in-built review process, requirement traceability tracking, change history, file attachments, and many other usability features, Meliora Testlab guides your work to achieve a good foundation on your soon to be designed test plan.

A good specification process enhances communication between parties and drives collaboration between the supplier and the customer.

Testlab provides you with rich reporting features to visualize what is going on in the project. You can create always up-to-date PDF, spreadsheet, or document reports and share these with others. You can set the tool to send these reports automatically. You can dig in the data in a drillable user interface. You can share the situation with always visible radiator views in your project room.

The so-called requirement management in Testlab is process agnostic and allows you to the way of working you want: You can use agile methods or enforce strict process - or anything between. You can write the specifications as user stories, use cases, or business requirements as needed. You can define the fields and the values you use. The tool really fits your use.

Remember that efficient testing is always based on application specifications. For example, if you are using agile methods and designing the application in sprints producing fully functional features Testlab suits this well: your requirement design, test planning, execution, and issue management as a development cycle is just shorter.

Testlab stores a change history for all the edits you do for your assets. You never have to guess who did the change and when.

Testlab has a simple yet powerful interface that allows you to put your effort into designing your test cases – not thinking how and where to put them. You can use a tree structure, customizable fields, and tags to classify your test repository - handy if you have a lot of test cases. With intuitive execution step oriented paradigm, rich-text editing, file attachments, and change history designing, keeping test cases up to date is easy.

There are situations when you need to change your test case. These changes need to be tracked - you will want to see what test case when it was used for testing, but use the newer one. In Testlab, all changes in your in test cases are automatically tracked. When you've planned and accepted test cases as ready and edit them later on Testlab automatically freezes the old version and creates a new revision of it. Separately archived old versions of ready-accepted test cases and live change tracking keeps the old details of your tests at your fingertips always when you need them.

Testlab allows you to create test sets, collection of test cases that you can reuse to for example regression testing. You can modify the sets later to always test with the cases you want. As projects often do not have the luxury of executing all the test cases after all the changes immediately, Testlab has strong features helping you find the most effective test cases to be executed first. Testlab is great for tracking what is the test target. When you mark what you are testing, with a version, for example, you can easily distinguish actions for the target.

All reports in Testlab are by default rendered as PDF documents. You have an option to export each report as an Excel spreadsheet file for further analysis and in addition, to OpenOffice Writer as an editable document.

You can utilize the automated test results in a similar way to the manual tests. You can combine both test result types to a single view.

If your testers do the testing often, you probably want them to pick the test cases to be executed independently. No problem, easy for them. If you have testers that use the tool rarely, you can make testing really easy for them. Testlab shows users what they need to do and gather all the needed information about testing in one place.

You will want to record your findings during the testing, like defects or enhancements, into trackable issues. Added issues are automatically tied to your current test case and test run to achieve good transparency from the issue to the tested feature.

As soon as the test case has been tested Testlab has that information. You can track test execution in real-time without the need to collect the data from each tester. You always know exactly up to date situation what has been tested and what still needs to be tested.

When the found defects have been fixed, it is a good practice to re-run the test cases that found the issues again. Testlab makes finding the test cases to be re-run really easy.

As you execute your test cases Testlab automatically tracks the time taken for each execution. Access the average execution times for your test cases easily and easily report statistical metrics for a set of test cases from your project.

With best-of-class reporting features - no matter where your testing results originate from - report them easily to your project stakeholders. You can utilize the automated test results in a similar way to the manual tests. You can combine both test result types to a single view.

There is a multitude of different kinds of automated testing, and often the amount of test data automated testing generates is too much to track. Testlab allows you to pick what really matters to you - see the important changes from the mass. Testlab does this with its unique rule-engine which allows you to determine how you wish to see the automated test results.

Testlab contains a fully featured issue tracking system with rich-text editing, configurable issue workflows, file attachments, change history, customizable fields, and commenting which makes it effortless to make issue management an integral part of your quality process.

When your issues are linked to test cases, and they are linked to requirements, you have great visibility to where the issues are in your project. Testlab offers reporting and coverage views on your application’s features to track issues still to be dealt with.

Good traceability in your application quality helps you to point out where the problems are and direct your testing efforts in as efficient way as possible.

Timeliness is a crucial feature in issue management. To help you to keep up with the issues (especially issues assigned for you) Testlab notifies you via e-mail if preferred and offers real-time notifications in your user interface about events in your project.

From a dedicated test coverage view, you can easily see what has been tested for your application. You can drill down to the coverage to see what has been tested for which version of your application, in which test run, what issues are still open, and what test cases have failed.

Tracking the progress of your project should be easy. Testlab offers you reports for every situation. The reporting is easy, but offer lots of options for more complex needs.

Often the projects work better when everybody knows what is happening. Testlab has radiator views - automatically updating views that you can set up for example to your project room.
