New Version of DataArt's Testing Framework

A new version of DataArt's testing framework has been developed by the Java department. This new version contains many enhancements to the framework's report and visualization tools. The framework greatly increases quality and reduces cost by combining the efforts of QA teams working on Java projects with the software performing automatic tests. Test cases for this software are created by QA teams, allowing them to spend less time on more routine operations. The time spent to create even a sophisticated test case is always less than the time spent checking test cases manually from day to day. Automation of the most routine operations also greatly reduces the risk of human error and concentrates QA teams on the more important tasks that can hardly be done by automatic testers. The end result is an increase in quality for our software products.

Vice President of Red Hat visited Saint Petersburg

Alex Pinchev, Vice President of a leading Linux Red Hat contracts supplier, visited Saint Petersburg to take part in a press conference with leading Russian Linux companies. DataArt has been working with a number of large Linux projects. Alex Pinchev said, "One thing I can be sure of is that Red Hat will open an office in Russia. I just don't know when. Opening in Saint Petersburg would be a pleasure."

In response to the question of opposition between Linux and Windows, DataArt's COO Michael Zavileysky said, "The decisive battle between Linux and Windows will take place on users' desktops. For the last 15 years, developers of open- code systems have been able to create high-grade operational systems. But even if a system's core of stability and security is at least comparable to the commercial server systems from Microsoft, desktop applications still look 'homebrewed.' The typical developer does not love or respect the 'pop' needs of patented buttons from Apple or Microsoft. But as long as corporations are making money, the opportunity for technical geniuses to turn their talent into practical applications for users remains open."

The Russians can do anything" DataArt actively participated in Microsoft .NET's early adoption program and now development on .NET brings in more than 70% of company income.

"We are planning to take part in MRTE's development and create universal multi-tier systems. We are very glad for the opportunity of interaction between Intel and DataArt in St. Petersburg, " said president of DataArt, Eugene Goland.
