Totally New Approach to Testing

• Traditional testing tools require programming to
  create a script the script drives the
  application.
• Any change in the application requires you to
  rewrite the script painful, expensive,
  time-consuming.
• Aberro eliminates the need for scripting or
  programmingAberroTest lets the application drive
  the test.
