TestBench File and Report Compare

Unique report compare capability

File compare, even over dissimilar tables

Partial field support

Compare database and spool files with full selection and error thresholds.

When testing, knowing what has changed since the last test is key to validating the latest software changes. Comparing files and data records is an effective, but time-consuming and laborious, process. When it comes to reports, it’s even harder. Being able to see what is different at a glance, greatly speeds up the testing process.
