What is CenterTest?
CenterTest, part of the AnkrPt family, is the ultimate solution for Guidewire testing, and the only test automation tool purpose-built for Guidewire by Ace-Certified Guidewire developers and test automation specialists. CenterTest will revolutionize the way your team thinks about testing, with test assets that automatically adapt to function across all Guidewire versions, a unified and extensible framework to eliminate redundant software and increase collaboration, and the ability to test your non-Guidewire applications.
Quality Releases, Faster
CenterTest empowers your team with a centralized platform and a powerful test automation engine to perform the majority of your testing functions using a single piece of software. Increase test coverage, expand automation, and test faster with CenterTest.
Simplify Tooling
CenterTest unifies end-to-end, UI, unit, API, performance testing, and more into one platform, boosting coverage and automation speed with its advanced technologies – not just for Guidewire, but for all your testing needs.
Instant Value
CenterTest can run tests on Day One! Deliver instant value for your QA and DevOps teams with fully customizable, OOTB testing flows, and automation framework generated directly from your source code.
Sticky Test Assets
Never start from scratch again. Tests written in CenterTest work across all versions of Guidewire, supercharging version and technical upgrades with same-day testing.
Rapid Implementation
We know our tool is unique – that’s why we stand behind its performance. We help implement CenterTest in your real environment and provide hands-on training for your team.
@CenterTestCase(testCaseId = "C64")
public void run(ScenarioContext scenarioContext) {
var producerContext = scenarioContext
.getInvocationContext("producer");
var underwriterContext = scenarioContext
.getInvocationContext("underwriter");
PC.loginToPC(producerContext).execute();
PC.newPersonAccount(producerContext).execute();
PC.personalAutoSubmission(producerContext).execute();
PC.loginToPC(underwriterContext).execute();
PC.searchForPolicyPC(underwriterContext).execute();
PC.renewalPolicy(underwriterContext).execute();
}Framework
CenterTest provides a unified, comprehensive testing and automation framework purpose-built for Guidewire and all of your other applications.
Enjoy the flexibility of a simple platform with sophisticated features, allowing you to utilize one piece of software and one programming language for all your testing needs.
Abstraction Layer
Simplify implementation and test automation maintenance with our Guidewire abstraction layer that pulls apart your source code to generate your CenterTest automation framework.
Deployment
CenterTest deploys as a secured JAR file in your own local or cloud environment, or your local machine. Our Enterprise license provides unlimited users and testing while reducing your test stack overhead.
Reusable OO Elements
Enable rapid deployment and significantly reduce test automation maintenance with reusable, modular OO test elements for common workflows. Updating a reusable updates all associated tests at once!
CI/CD
CenterTest is compatible with all major pipelines and test managers – allowing for quick and easy integration into your team’s existing development structure and CI/CD processes.
Version Compatibility
CenterTest automatically adapts your tests to function across all versions of Guidewire, eliminating the need to start over or perform weeks of framework maintenance during upgrades.
OOTB Guidewire Tests
Purpose-built for InsuranceSuite, CenterTest comes with fully extendable tests that cover Guidewire OOTB workflows to enable rapid test automation and easy customization.
Data-Driven
With just a few clicks, CenterTest makes it easy to turn static test scripts into supercharged, data-driven test cases and manage your test data – all in a single tool for any type of test.
Streamline and accelerate DDT with AnkrPt Pairwise.
Simplify Tooling
CenterTest drastically reduces the test stack by performing most testing functions across your entire system. Save money by eliminating redundant software, and increase speed and collaboration through the utilization of a single framework and programming language.
Self-Healing
Regeneration, compile-time detection, and reusables simplify maintenance by allowing CenterTest to do or identify much of the work associated with test maintenance. Focus your team on value-add effort instead of test maintenance.
Kimputing’s Guidewire Customers
Functionality
Increase collaboration, eliminate redundancy, and reduce specialization with multipurpose, data-driven testing built from modular elements automatically generated from your source code.
E2E/API/UI
Flexible, simple, and sophisticated, CenterTest enables comprehensive, end-to-end, data-driven testing across your entire ecosystem – Guidewire and beyond.
Performance
No need for special scripts or dedicated software, CenterTest revolutionizes non-functional testing by utilizing your existing E2E tests for load and performance testing.
PDF Testing
Reduce non-compliance risk and manual PDF verification with CenterTest’s built-in document testing in standalone tests, or as a component in more complex test scripts.
Time Travel
CenterTest manages system and application clock changes across all Centers and minimizes the number of clock changes for optimal suite execution.
Parallel Execution
Full parallel capabilities for any test enable more than performance testing. Run automated, E2E tests across all Centers simultaneously, including access role changes and time travel events.
Multi-User;
Multi-Session
Create realistic tests that have multiple browsers communicating with each other within the same test, at the same time. This can be for a single Center, across Centers, or even to external systems.
Coverage Analytics
Coverage Analytics helps ensure test coverage by reporting untested fields or objects that have changed in your implementation versus Guidewire OOTB, or between versions.
Rate Testing
Test your entire rate book for new and migrated products, or verify rating stability during upgrades.
Guidewire Cloud Upgrade
CenterTest version compatibility means you can be ready to test your cloud upgrade before the upgrade even starts! CenterTest works across all versions of Guidewire. The same automated tests you write to validate your existing implementation will work for all upgrades and future versions of Guidewire.
Small Team,
Big Results
CenterTest typically requires only one or two quality engineers to handle all your testing needs, allowing you to eliminate backlog, redistribute resources, and increase testing coverage.
Risk Mitigation
Supercharge and accelerate your migration to the cloud with rapid verification of your source code, rating, and API functionality across all versions of Guidewire. Ensure that all code is reinstated following your technical upgrade.
Version Compatibility
CenterTest automatically adapts your test scripts to function across all versions of Guidewire InsuranceSuite – including PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter – from version 7 to Guidewire Cloud.
Day One Testing
CenterTest’s version compatibility enables day one testing of new Guidewire Cloud migrations using your existing tests and automation framework.
