Axe is a test automation platform that greatly increases productivity and drastically reduces maintenance overheads for test automation. It uses simple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as a means to define and model test scenarios and code generation techniques to rapidly generate robust, self-documented automation code.

AxeHarness uniquely provides a standard means for automated testing of SOA and other non-UI application interfaces. Using the proven Axe format for defining tests, both developers and testers can rapidly create automated component tests early, even before delivery of the user interface. Testing early and often in the development lifecycle is proven to produce better quality software.
