3. AUTOMATED TESTING IS HITTING THE VERGE OF POPULARITY. BUT DOES IT ACTUALLY SUIT YOUR BUSINESS?
4. 86% WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED TESTING? 4 out of 5 surveyed companies reported the tangible benefits of automation testing in multiple areas (86%), with the majority of respondents specifically highlighting 3 to 6 areas with the highest impact.
5. Automated testing cuts down the time to run repetitive tests from days to just a few hours. After all less time spent = smaller development bill to foot. Additionally, you don’t need to keep a dedicated manual testing team to handle QA. One automated testing engineer can have you covered at all times. IMPROVED STAFF PERFORMANCE AND TIME SAVINGS
6. Automated testing increases the depth and scope of tests to spot even the smallest imperfections. Automated test cases not only offer a larger test coverage compared to manual tests, but allow faster deployment of new features to users due to the super-sonic speed and efficiency of the entire process. EARLIER BUGS IDENTIFICATIONS BEFORE THE USERS ARE IMPACTED
7. Take human factor into account for manual testing. Even the most skillful professionals may make mistakes during the monotonous work. Automated tests perform the very same steps with all the results being recorded for further review. As a result, your testing team has more time to deal with complex features and improve automated test cases. IMPROVED TEST RESULTS ACCURACY
8. Last, but definitely not least – transferring repetitive tasks to scripts gives your team more time to focus on more interesting and challenging work. They can focus on improving their skills and confidence, instead of dealing with the same day-by-day monotonous manual testing chores. YOUR TEAM IS HAPPIER
9. 8 TYPES OF SOFTWARE TESTING THAT SHOULD BE AUTOMATED So, what can you automate within your testing framework?
10. The major benefits of automated regression testing are that your team can re-run testing scenarios over and over again without any hassle to ensure that the new changes made did not result into a regression, or caused previously functional components to fail. Here’s what’s included in automated regression testing toolkit: 1. Solex 2. TestComplete 3. QA Wizard Pro REGRESSION TESTING
11. This practice encourages developers to write cleaner code based on the initial assurance obtained after the initial test and refactoring the original code. Best tools to use are: 1. Jtest 2. JUnit UNIT TESTING
12. The definitive advantages of automated testing in this case are the multiple load and performance tests you can run simultaneously from different devices. You can emulate as many users as possible to ensure the final product is absolutely stable and can handle whatever is coming for it! At Romexsoft, high-load applications are our particular specialty and we use the following automated tools to reach the top results: 1. Jenkins 2. JMeter LOAD AND PERFORMANCE TESTING
13. In a nutshell, functional testing deals with your applications relations between the users and the rest of the system. This approach tests only what the application does as a whole opposed to the unit tests that cover only what certain application segment does and how it does that. And here are the good tools for that: 1. Selenium WebDriver 2. Ranorex 3. SoapUI FUNCTIONAL TESTING
14. The issue with GUI testing is that even seemingly small applications have multiple operations that need to be tested. For instance,a simple desktop application like Microsoft WordPad has 325 possible GUI operations. GUI FUNCTIONAL TESTING Automated UI testing in this case is lifesaving as the whole process may take weeks for a manual team. The go-to tools are: 1. Selenium WebDriver 2. Ranorex 3. TestComplete
15. SMOKE TESTING Smoke tests are often an integral part of BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) environment as they allow easily tracing back to the exact kind of behavior we want to see within an app. This approach to testing saves you a ton of time and efforts by uncovering early obvious bugs. These are perfect for scheduling such tests: 1. Selenium WebDriver 2. Bamboo 3. Cargo 4. TestingNG
16. ACCEPTANCE TESTING Acceptance testing is commonly used in BDD to verify that the set requirement (story) is complete. As customer, that’s your way to ensure that no original requirements have been changed during the project scope and everything was done as planned. The tools worth using for automated acceptance testing are: 1. Cucumber 2. FitNesse 3. Selenium 4. Ranorex
17. MOBILE TESTING Acceptance testing is commonly used in BDD to verify that the set requirement (story) is complete. As customer, that’s your way to ensure that no original requirements have been changed during the project scope and everything was done as planned. The tools worth using for automated acceptance testing are: 1. Cucumber 2. FitNesse 3. Selenium 4. Ranorex
