Unified Test Automation Using XML

Are you looking to reduce the maintenance costs of your testware? Unified Test Automation (UTA) is one approach that's demonstrated cost-saving success. UTA serves as a cost-reduction strategy by centralizing test resources and minimizing the overhead of maintaining the different components of testware, such as test documents, test software, and test data. The advent of new technologies such as the XML markup language and associated XML third-party tools for editing XML content has produced an ideal framework for the centralization of all testware. Rodrigo Geve cites specific examples and explains how this has been achieved.
