IBM Maximo Test Automation Framework | As part of Maximo Application Suite, the IBM Maximo Test Automation Framework can be utilized to validate or re-validate Maximo IT processes and capabilities for a given release based on approved and certified configurations from IBM. The Test Automation Framework consists of a series of validation test scripts that encompass asset and work management business processes. These test scripts contain information that can be built upon to develop and document a manufacturer's policies and procedures according to the implementation and use of Maximo Manage application and Maximo IT software. These scripts can be used as quality assurance test cases to validate information systems. They are updated for every Maximo Application Suite long term supported release.
