FAQ - Frequently asked questions and YEST® help

Yest is a test design solution for both manual and automated functional testing. Yest uses a visual representation approach to guide the creative work of test design. This approach follows the logic of the human brain, starting from the most general to the most specific. Yest also provides a set of accelerations to reduce repetitive, low-value tasks.

Yest’s focus on test design is in itself a distinctive feature. Indeed, most QA organizations already use test management and test automation tools. Yest complements this existing tool chain to cover test design activity.

Yest also stands out for its very substantial productive effects. It is commonly estimated that the test design, implementation and update phases account for around 35% of a QA team’s effort. With 40% productivity gains on these tasks, the direct positive impact is around 15% on the entire testing process. To this must be added the indirect positive impact on manual or automated execution. All in all, Yest’s productive contribution to a QA team is therefore around 20%, which is considerable. Note that this calculation does not take into account qualitative gains.

• Better visibility and understanding of business needs and tests by the whole team. 
• Relevant test design
• More efficient test production and updating
