STW/Regression works as a stand-alone suite of regression tools or as part of the fully integrated TestWorks multi-platform suite of testing tools. STW/Regression provides the most complete solution for automating and managing the execution and verification of tests on both text and GUI-based applications.

The STW/Regression product line increases test speed and accuracy, improving cycle time and quality, while allowing the re-use of tests on each release. STW/Regression is ideal for host and client-server applications as it uses automated load generation from a single workstation for multi-user client-server applications. A C-language interpreter allows all events and actions to be recorded as complete C function procedures and provides extensive language support (excepting only a few C constructs, such as structures and pointers).

STW/Regression includes the following tools, which all operate either independently or within the STW/Regression tool suite:

CAPBAK is a capture/playback tool system which allows the user to record mouse movements, keyboard activities, widget calls and verification information into a test script language for later use. CAPBAK/X supports automatic synchronization feature that handle minor application changes and time-sensitive operations.

SMARTS TestWorks' software maintenance and regression test system, organizes tests into a hierarchical structure. Tests can then be executed according to this structure, and conditionally evaluated by SMARTS using EXDIFF.

EXDIFF is an extended differencing system which compares bitmap image or ASCII value files. Extraneous discrepancies can be masked during the differencing process.
