Testing Table
DSR’s automated testing and certification tools provide a number of solutions to problems typically encountered during the testing process. Automated testing frameworks allow developers to improve the quality of their products through robust testing and minimize test development time by automating testing procedures. It would take three to four months to run these test manually, while DSR's automated tests take hours.
| Test type | Number of tests | Approx. time to run (hours) |
| Certification tests | ~ 260 | 6 |
| Regressions tests | ~ 170 | 3 |
| Application level tests | ~ 60 | 3 |
