- Description
- It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine to procure Agitator software from Agitar Software, Inc., 1350 Villa Street, Mountain View, California, 94041, on a sole source basis for the National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research, OER. This proprietary software will assist the OER?s software development teams to implement developer testing. OER has determined that this Agitator software is the only know software available to assist with the automation of their development testing to improve the software quality of the applications of development testing as well as improving the monitoring and managing of the testing efforts. Software agitation, pioneered by Agitar, is an automated way of testing code. The software will exercises the code with a wide variety of automatically generated input data, determines the behavior of the classes and reports its observations automatically. Agitar?s Agitator is able to construct the most complex of objects automatically. The software can provide a specialized setup or input data, the Agitator includes an extensive library of factories that can be configured with point-and-click simplicity. Agitator includes specialized factories for J2EE and database applications. This feature will allow the developers to add custom factories for specific application. All of these factories become durable test assets that can be shared across your organization. The problem of combinatorial explosion is a well known problem with software testing. The Agitator software will help solve this problem by testing every combination automatically. Agitator uses dynamic analysis of the software under test, including code coverage analysis, to ensure that all branches of the code are exercised automatically. Agitation can often achieve 100% code coverage with no manual intervention. The Agitator automatically detects changes to the code and adjusts its approach to accommodate those changes, saving time and reducing the risk of untested code. Agitar's Agitator can replace real collaborator objects with mock objects/factories on-the-fly without having to modify code-under-test. The Agitator includes a Management Dashboard that helps to direct the testing to a point where it will be most effective and integrates Agitar assertion outcomes, JUnit outcomes and code metrics into a single management report. The proposed acquisition will be procured under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items. A Request for Quotations (RFQ)for RFQ-NLM 06-040 is not available. Organizations interested in responding to this requirement must submit your software product to the National Library of Medicine, Office of Acquisitions Management, 8600 Rockville Pike, Building 38A, Room B1N20, Bethesda, Maryland 20894, Attention: Karen Riggs Riggs, Contracting Officer, at kr33v@nih.gov. Fax requests WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
