Software Research, Inc.'s TestWorks for Windows, an integrated suite of automated testing tools, is the broadest suite of tools available to test applications running under MS/Windows (Win3.1), MS/Windows NT or MS/Windows 95 (Win32). TestWorks for Windows has two main bundles of tools: TestWorks/Regression for Windows and TestWorks/Coverage for Windows.

TestWorks/Regression for Windows is composed of two tool systems which operate independently or as an integrated set: CAPBAK/MSW and SMARTS/MSW. CAPBAK/MSW is a full-featured capture/playback system which supports TrueTime Mode and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) verification for completely automated regression testing. CAPBAK/MSW includes the powerful Automatic Output Synchronization technology to insure that testers' recordings can be made with minimum, totally hands-off, effort and still have maximum playback reliability. CBDIFF, a built-in component of CAPBAK/MSW, verifies bitmaps captured during a recording session and automatically compares them with the actual images at playback. With Optical Character Recognition verification, CBDIFF determines a successful test based on ASCII values extracted from bitmap images disregarding differences in font, type size, and background color. SMARTS/MSW, a powerful sophisticated test management tool, controls user-defined automated C-language test scripts and provides for fully unattended execution of tests. Using the industry's first true relational test-tree method, user-selected tests are run in groups or sub-groups as appropriate.

TestWorks/Coverage for Windows provides measurements to determine how well test cases exercise a program written in C and C++ by identifying where testing is incomplete at the unit, system and integration levels. It uses two measurements to ensure the thoroughness of test cases: logical branch (C1) for unit testing, and function-call (S1) for system and integration tests. Using recursive descent compiler technology, TestWorks/Coverage is easily able to handle all standard constructs and dialects of C and C++.
