San Jose, CA, February 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- StratExcel Technologies announces the release of Zipline CLI Test Automation Suite v6.0. Find out more information about what's new in the latest product release at http://www.getzipline.net:

Zipline CLI and Network Test Automation Suite is an advanced set of tools that facilitate Testcase automation without having to write any scripts. Zipline CLI Test Automation Suite v6.0 introduces 3 major features, several usability enhancements and updates to core features that will make your Test automation efforts more effective.

Automated CLI Traversal

Are you tired of having to update your CLI verification scripts every time a new option is added or an existing one is removed? Use 'Automated CLI Traversal' - the latest tool in the Zipline arsenal in order to parse all available command options and generate/execute all possible unique commands. The CLI Traversal tool can be configured to use fixed or random values for literals (ip addresses, hello intervals, and so on) in order to try all possible combinations.

Hiererchical Testcase Execution

Avoid repetition of commands across testcases by using the newly introduced 'Hierarchical Testcase Execution' functionality. Zipline adds the ability to call a testcase from within another testcase. Create modular testcases that can be called by other testcases - thus reducing duplication, increasing reuse and testcase consistency. Multiple levels of nested testcase calls are supported.

Search-Replace across Testcases

Commands as well as the output received from the Device-under-Test in response to the commands change over time. Such changes invalidate scripts written using the previous versions of the commands or outputs. However using global Search-Replace functionality introduced into Zipline, you can now update multiple Testcases using a simple to use regular-expression based Search-Replace wizard.

In additions Zipline CLI Test Automation Suite v6.0 introduced the following:

Single-click Backup & Restore for the entire Test Repository

Managing Test Resource ownership (Testcases/Test-groups/Testbeds/Property-sets)

Copy-Paste commands within and across Testcases

Move commands within Testcase

Clone Test Resources (Testcases/Test-groups/Testbeds/Property-sets)

Pause/Resume/Stop Test Scheduler

Programmable CLI Timeout handling

Support for XML Format for easier offline Testcase editing

Get started with Zipline for as little as $99 per month.
