iLeap removes any dependency on scripting as it showcases the capabilities of Keyword-driven, Data-driven and Functional decomposition approach. By removing this dependency, iLeap makes it easier to add more testcases, quickly and easily in the spreadsheets. Even the changes in application is handled with minimal changes in the keywords,bringing down the maintenance cost by upto 60%. The test cases created using iLeap are compatible with most of the functional test tools available in the market which makes it possible to migrate from one tool to another with minimal efforts.

However, implementing test automation possess many challenges and as per some industry estimates, 85% of test automation initiatives do not give enough ROI. But the right efforts put during test automation can improve software quality and significantly speed up time-to-market at one-third the cost of manual testing. Keeping in mind the pitfalls of test automation, we have developed iLeap. With this framework, your pace of developing automation suite goes up by upto 40%.”
