CATS: computer aided testing system

CATS, a system that provides a complete development environment for system testing, was developed to provide a clear methodology for the preparation of system test documents supported by a computerized tool. It is expected to increase the level of efficiency and standardization of the testing of various software systems (real-time, data processing, etc.), by breaking down the process of testing a system into components and facilitating the speedy integration of these components through the use of a central database. CATS can be used throughout the entire life cycle of a system. It is particularly effective during the problematic maintenance stage when there are many updates of requirements as specified by the designers
