Description

Mind2Tests is an application developped for the Adobe AIR runtime. Its goal is double:

  1. to facilitate and accelerate the definition of project/product requirements and tests - mainly functional tests - using the mind-mapping technique (and your preferred mind-mapping tool)
  2. to accelerate the feed of your preferred requirement or test management tool by creating the bridge between your mind-mapping tool and your requirement  or test management tool.

To do so, Mind2Tests converts mind-map files, generated by your own tool, to xml or csv files that can be imported in your requirement/test management tool as requirement specifications or test suites for example. And this, as simply as a drag and drop of files.

 

Who should/can use Mind2Tests ?

Mind-mapping enthousiats are of course the best candidates, whatever they are software testers or business analysts, product owners or project managers. The formers will be mainly interested in converting mind-maps to test suites, the other will convert the requirements / use cases / user stories of their product or project as a breeze.

And if you have never used mind-mapping, hurry up and download one of the supported tool, the benefits and the applications of this technique are unlimited.

 

Why you should use Mind2Tests ?

  1. Mind-mapping is a natural, easy and fast way to collect and organize information.
    • Really convenient for quick and efficient requirement definition during a meeting with your users
    • Quick way to collect the acceptance tests from your Product owner or to define the functional tests of a touchy feature with your test team.
  2. Mind2Tests is not a new mind-mapping tool to learn, it just use the files and the capabilities of your preferred tool.
  3. The conversion process works like a breeze, drag, drop, save… and import from your test/requirement management tool.
  4. Mind2Tests can be used in any context: from large organizations with heavy processes to small or medium teams working or not in an Agile mode.
