RBS WorldPaySelects VersaTest Automator for Implementing Testing Automation

Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) June 18, 2009

RBS WorldPay, Inc. has joined a growing list of companies worldwide that have adopted the VersaTest Automator platform for internal and external testing. VersaTest Automator, the latest in Ascert's family of software testing products adds new levels of user flexibility and automation that have never before existed.

"The new VersaTest Automator platform will take us to a whole new level of testing efficiencies," said Jim Tibbetts, vice president of product management for RBS WorldPay. "In addition, the Automator platform will enable RBS WorldPay to more rapidly deliver quality services and products to our merchants."

Ascert leads the industry in solving the challenge of bringing increased automation to testing professionals. "The development of the Automator product really began more than two years ago when we realized that the industry was at a standstill as far as increasing efficiencies in testing POS, EFT, and ATM systems," said Andrew Mould, managing partner at Ascert. "We decided that an entirely new approach to test environment development and methods of automating processes was the only way to take great leaps forward. Our VersaTest Automator product is the end result of those efforts and it addresses those issues by introducing a whole new generation of testing systems and methodologies."

"We are pleased with the early results of the VersaTest Automator product," said Tibbetts. "As one of the first companies in the U.S. to take advantage of this technology, we believe this product provides us with a significant competitive advantage; especially in the area of new POS development and certification with third-party vendors and customers. The Automator product provides us duplication and reliability of processes every time we run a test."

VersaTest Automator is the latest in Ascert's VersaTest suite of testing solutions which also include, VersaTest Simulator, VersaTest Classic, and VersaTest OEM. To learn more about VersaTest Automator, visit http://www.ascert.com/pdf/DS-VersaTestAutomator-en-us-sau-l.pdf.
