Integrated "Action" module

The problem

A frequent issue in QA world is "how can my test run third party external tools (exe, scripts) on the computer during tests execution (in a synchronous way) ?". For instance:

installing a software
running or restarting a process (http server, a host etc.)
executing a program (sending some data to the test)
etc.

There are plenty of exemple of tests requiring such facilities.

The fix

XStudio provides an integrated module providing the facilities to start scripts or executables (optionally with command line options) any time during execution of the tests.
