    Test Studio’s R2 Release: Simplifying the Complex

    Testing and software development are complex enough without your tools getting in the way. I’m particularly excited at how Test Studio’s R2 release kept a number of critical pieces of functionality crisp, clean, and simple while giving you great power to focus on essential portions of your quality program.
