SAN MATEO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded
Solution Partners, LLC and The Fanfare Group, Inc. announced today that they
have entered into a partnership in which Embedded Solution Partners will
resell and provide professional services for the FanfareSVT family of products
in North America. The FanfareSVT product family is the first commercially
developed and supported test automation software built specifically for the
needs of equipment vendors. It allows QA teams to break the QA backlog and
gain control of their product release cycles.
In the race to get ever more sophisticated products to market, networking
equipment manufacturers are often faced with a major dilemma: fully test
their products at the possible expense of missing a narrow market window or
meet their time to market requirements by cutting short their testing cycle.
Test automation is widely accepted as the solution, but today's in-house
solutions depend on conventional scripting. Creating portable maintainable
scripts requires time and programming expertise -- both of which are in short
supply in most QA organizations. The result is that the current state of the
art has not allowed test teams to stay ahead of the curve.
"Our Clients have been telling us that with each product release, their
automated testing efforts address a smaller percentage of their product's
features," said Curt Schacker, CEO of Embedded Solution Partners. "What
excites us about The Fanfare Group is that they have brought an entirely new
approach to the problem. In conversation after conversation with major
equipment OEMs, we're seeing the light go off -- they may finally have found a
way to fully test their products without sacrificing time to market."
"Across the industry, product testing now consumes half of the product
development cycle and that is growing rather than shrinking," said Kingston
Duffie, CEO and CTO of The Fanfare Group. "Fanfare lets every team member
contribute towards rapid test automation through a test case authoring
approach that does not require programming expertise. Test development,
execution, documentation and automation are unified into a single step thereby
shortening the testing cycle while increasing coverage. We are excited to be
working with Embedded Solution Partners, whose team of industry experts
dramatically increases our reach into the organizations who can really benefit
from the FanfareSVT product family."
