SimpliTest

Advancing engineering enablement with Automated ATDD

Automated Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) is the catalyst for effective engineering enablement. A primary advantage is shifting the quality focus far left in the development process. By capturing requirements and tests simultaneously, Automated ATDD eliminates the need for after-the-fact quality assurance, fostering continuous collaboration and improvement.CGI’s SimpliTest supports a full shift-left from intake and ideation to production maintenance and support.

We apply our deep expertise in quality engineering and testing to help you advance your quality engineering (QE) end-state. Our SimpliTest test automation solution helps us reinforce your QE processes. We also offer advisory services around engineering enablement, quality engineering, quality automation, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipeline, and training and upskilling.

Moving to an automation-first testing approach requires breaking down silos, prioritizing quality, unifying requirements and tests, and fostering cross-functional collaboration.

SimpliTest facilitates this move. It is an Automated ATDD-focused turnkey toolset with reusable frameworks, middleware and low-code/no-code automation. This includes reusable step definitions, a canvas for model-based test design and customizable HTML reports. Key solution advantages of CGI's SimpliTest solution include shift-left adoption, seamless ALM integration, self-service testing and a canvas for model-based test design.

Shift-left adoption

AI-enabled Automated ATDD and Behavior Driven Development (BDD) frameworks accelerate shift-left adoption. BDD refocuses and shifts testing even further left. SimpliTest's BDD framework enables multi-technology support across web, API, database and ETL testing, as well as parallel and cross-browser testing.

Seamless ALM integration

SimpliTest is DevSecOps-enabled and seamlessly integrates with existing ALM tools, including Jenkins, Jira, Azure, ServiceNow and GitHub, facilitating collaboration in a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This allows for rapid DevSecOps environment implementations and becomes a valuable catalyst for accelerated, quality outcomes.

Self-service testing

Reusable frameworks eliminate the need for coding, so testing can be handed over to product owners. This shift enables built-in quality practices, accelerating time to market with improved product quality while reducing risk, technical debt and defects.

Canvas for model-based test design

Quality assurance (QA) involvement belongs at the beginning of the discovery stage. It forces testability into the product design and finds design and specification bugs before the code even exists. As part of a continuous testing strategy, SimpliTest includes a feature-rich AI and ML-enabled canvas to produce test cases and plans quickly.
