- What is COVER?
COVER is the name of a, since 1985, steadily growing collection of test tools (owner/creator Rob Kuijt). The web based COVER toolbox supports designers, developers and testers with their (test) design activities. COVER generates test cases directly from models (Decision sheets, Pseudo code, Process flows, Data Sets, etc.) in a format that can be used for manual or automated test execution or be imported into testmanagement tools.
- I can't select the function I want to use, why? There are several profiles for COVER, with several degrees of authorizations. When you can't select the function you want to use (it's greyed-out), your profile is not authorized for the use of that specific function. More information? MBS unterstützen()
