Technologies and customer demand require changes.You also have this common problem

Manual testing is not an option:

• It cannot implement most of the test scenarios

• Each cycle requires new time and effort

• It is very costly

You need a platform for automatic testing.

It has to:

• Replace the client and/or network side for the tested services

• Support multiple network protocols

• Be easy for use and open for creating or modifying the tests
