About Aberro
Aberro, Inc., is a software product and services company that creates highly effective software testing systems. Aberro’s disruptive technology solutions helps users to improve software quality dramatically, reduce testing costs, and accelerate time to market. Whether software is developed for external markets or internal corporate applications, Aberro improves the quality for this release and versions to come. 

Aberro’s Market Opportunity
The opportunity for better software testing tools is significant. Worldwide, the software industry currently spends over $1.5 billion on current-generation testing tools. Today’s tools for functional testing employ scripting as the primary method to automate the test effort. Despite significant shortcomings, this method has remained fundamentally unchanged for 15 years. Other testing tools require significant programming skills to deploy and maintain. Even skilled QA professionals find these tools to be difficult to use and ineffective during the early functional testing stage of product development. What is more, these testing tools are exceedingly expensive yet yield results of little value.

From small development shops to major corporations, users are actively seeking testing systems that are easy to use, faster to deploy, and able to find software defects reliably. Further, there is a sizeable, underserved market or “automation gap,” as there are no productivity tools to assist the manual tester. These QA professionals and the testing cycle as a whole are bogged down: they are tied to slow, tedious keyboard entry followed by manual bug logging. This automation gap is Aberro’s entry point, letting us provide a much-needed productivity tool to the manual test community. 

Test Your GUI as You Build It
By implementing AberroTest early in the development process, you can head off usability issues before they become problems, or worse yet, defects found by your customers. From the moment your GUI is in place, you can use AberroTest to extract information from your application and generate thousands of data inputs and navigation paths. Using Adaptive Automated Testing™, AberroTest adapts to changes in your target application. Whether you add, modify, or delete elements, AberroTest adapts systematically.

AberroTest provides a rich library of over 70 built-in input providers (names, states, punctuation, random numbers, and so on) or link to your own test data to provide input to the target application. By creating small tests and using them early and often, you can correct your own errors and avoid breaking the build.

Design Testable Applications
We all know the importance of unit testing and thoroughly testing code. However, testing your code shouldn’t take more time than it took to write it. And with AberroTest, testing is easier. Because testing is implemented early in development, the better your final product will be. Why? Well, bugs found early in the development process are cheaper to fix. But by using AberroTest early and often, you develop software applications that have testable designs and that lend themselves well to future testing. Robust, well-designed, and well-tested applications are better for software teams and customers alike.

Test Deeply within Your Applications
Test more deeply within your application than you ever hoped possible. Using AberroTest’s verification rules, you can verify application functionality using if-then logic. Even better, AberroTest’s rules are extensible, enabling a skilled developer to create customized rules with nested capability.
