Abstract

This article is dealing with the main peculiarities of different spreadsheet editors and testing challenges related to them. Differences in the features of the table editors are reviewed. Shortcomings of manual testing of table editors are presented. The task was to improve testing effectiveness within the certain limitations, such as time and a budget. “Benchmarking” business process is adapted and introduced as a “benchmarking” testing approach which is applied for testing the table editors’ functionality. At the end of the work, the results and conclusions are presented after such an adaptation.
