Mercury tools will help with Swanwick testing efforts

MERCURY Interactive has signed a contract to supply 170 of its XRunner 4.0 UNIX graphical user-interface (GUI) testing tools to Lockheed Martin, prime contractor for the UK Civil Aviation Authority's ú150 million ($234 million) new en route centre (NERC) at Swanwick, due to open in December 1997.

The XRunner 4.0 will be used by Lockheed Martin to load and run full stress tests on more than 2 million lines of software code at the NERC. The software will be loaded on to 200 workstations. The US company estimates that automating the testing process with the XRunner could save up to 250,000 man-hours by the time the NERC goes into operation.
