PATfiler

PATfiler is a software application designed for managing and organizing Portable Application Test (PAT) files. PAT files are commonly used in the software development and testing industry to store test data, configuration settings, and execution results for automated testing frameworks. PATfiler provides a centralized repository for these files, enabling users to import, export, categorize, and search their PAT files efficiently.

The primary functions of PATfiler include file ingestion, which allows users to upload new PAT files into the system. It also supports version control, allowing users to track changes to their PAT files over time and revert to previous versions if necessary. Furthermore, PATfiler offers robust search capabilities, enabling users to find specific files based on keywords, metadata, or file content. The application can also facilitate collaboration by providing controlled access and sharing options for PAT files among team members.

PATfiler is typically used by software testers, quality assurance engineers, and development teams to streamline their testing workflows. By organizing PAT files in a structured manner, it helps to improve test consistency, reduce redundancy, and facilitate easier retrieval of test data for analysis and reporting. The application aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of software testing processes.
