As T-Plan Robot is a Java application, it runs on all systems supported by Java including Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS, Windows Mobile (through PocketVNC) and many others. As VNC servers also support most significant platforms, it is possible to set up any client-server combination, for example T-Plan Robot running on Windows and executing testing on a Mac OS machine or vice versa. Such a set up can test any GUI application displayed on the VNC server regardless of the underlying technology or programming platform.
Example: T-Plan Robot running on Ubuntu automates a Windows Mobile cell phone (click to enlarge)
The tool has an extensive Java API and accepts test scripts in a scripting language or native Java. There's a multithreading API allowing to span multiple automated testing threads within a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM) process. This makes it possible to integrate the tool and its tests into a Java project and/or use the tool besides classic functional testing to generate load on the tested system.
T-Plan Robot was released on November 9, 2009 and is being shipped in two distributions. T-Plan Robot 2.0 is open sourced under GPL v2.0 and represents a choice for budget users or those who insist on open source. T-Plan Robot Enterprise 2.0 on the other hand ships under a proprietary binary license and includes extra features and commercial support. Product differences are described at our Downloads page.
