Testing an FME script is an essential part of project quality, but this is also a tedious and time-consuming task. To solve this particular problem, Veremes, a French Platinum level reseller, decided to develop rTest, a free and open-source tool composed of an FME workspace and an HTML application that gives you the possibility to automatize the qualifying tasks of your workspaces. rTest allows for description testing scenarios and then executes them. The tested workspaces are run with the chosen parameters, and the observed results matched with the expected results. rTest offers an HTML report that provides information about the correct execution of the workspaces (status, duration, RAM, log) and about the conformity of the results. It is a valuable tool for anyone looking to increase the quality of their deliverables while reducing their workload.
