The key feature is the transparent support of multiple cloud providers including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and VMWare Vsphere (on premise) trough a single API.

The framework is triggered automatically for every release cycle of Uniface. It creates and provisions the required infrastructure, deploys and configures the required services to test against, then runs all regression tests, removes the infrastructure and generates reports.
