 *Do you find that most of today’s functional testing products are too technical for business analysts?
 *Do miscommunications and different priorities between business analysts and quality engineers result in time-consuming test rework?
 *Have you found that limited business analyst involvement during testing leads to defects and breakdowns in critical business processes?
 *Are defects found in production instead of by your functional testing team — hurting your group’s credibility?

Mercury Business Process Testing is the first complete role-based test automation system to overcome these challenges and bridge the quality chasm between subject matter experts and quality engineers. Business Process Testing is the first Web-based test automation solution designed from the ground up to enable subject matter experts to build, data-drive, and execute test automation without any programming knowledge.

Mercury Business Process Testing reduces the overhead for automated test maintenance and combines test automation and documentation into a single effort. It enables subject matter experts and business analysts to measure the quality of application deliverables from abstract business definitions defined within the Business Process Testing framework.

Business Process Testing also improves productivity by enabling business analysts and quality engineers to collaborate effectively. With this role-based solution, subject matter experts focus on creating high-level test flows that mirror actual business process, while quality engineers concentrate their efforts on areas than enable automation.

With Mercury Business Process Testing, you can:

 *Test more thoroughly and in less time, catch more defects, and release better applications than previously possible.
 *Enable non-technical business analysts to quickly build, data drive, and document tests.
 *Reduce testing and test maintenance time, while increasing staff efficiency.
 *Combine test documentation and test automation into one structured effort.
 *Help detect and diagnose performance problems before system downtime occurs.
