  1. 5 Secrets To Ensuring Test Automation Success

  2. The modification in software development methodologies has not only impacted the manner in which software products are developed but have also turned software testing and QA on its head. Now, testing is not a separate function anymore. Companies now understand the role of great testing in the development of robust, excellent quality, and error-free software. This has increased the potential impression area of testing. As applications grow in complexity the test automation services experiences change as well.

  3. 5 Secrets To Ensuring Test Automation Success Integrate testing with development: The motive of test automation is to speed up development, improve code coverage, and assist in keeping timeline overruns under control. To accomplish this, it is necessary to place testing at the heart of software development for better testing and faster delivery.  Treat The Test Suite Like A Product: To stay in step with today’s dynamic business environment, companies have to keep product evolution in mind. This implies that as the software product results the test suite has to evolve too – just like a product would. Hence, testing professionals must analyze their test suite carefully and identify test plans that will stay consistent in the long run and which test plans will become redundant. Changing the complete test suite in the event of a product upgrade is difficult. Instead of having a monolithic test plan it makes greater sense to have more modular test plans.

  4. Focus On ‘What’ To Test As Much As ‘How’ To Test: Some test automation drives fail because companies look at achieving 100% automation. For the success of test automation, testing teams require to first identify the right candidates for automation. As a thumb rule, testing teams should recognize those that are repetitive in the development cycle, analyze the development environment, and validate the functionalities across this environment.

  5. Optimal Utilization Of All Testing And QA Assets: Manual testers, automation engineers, domain specialists, and product owners are also key QA assets along with test cases, test data and the testing infrastructure. While various may feel that manual testers are no longer important when test automation is implemented, this is not true. There are certain tests such as exploratory testing that can only be done by manual testers. Keep in mind that test automation cannot test for everything. 

  6. AI Meets Test Automation: The choice of Artificial Intelligence is getting momentum. Software testing too is expected to become a playing field for AI. The use of AI in test automation will be to make the testing suites more intelligent. Validate hard to process artifacts, automatically generate test scenarios, and help test automation services develop a learning plan. AI can do the heavy lifting in test automation and help testing teams generate possibly 100 times more test coverage and improve app performance by increasing testing performance.

  7. Increase Productivity Within Your QA Testing Team Outsource It is necessary for responsibilities and challenges to match the skills and expertise of your engineers. However, multiple QA projects might include tasks and assignments that might be new to the in-house team or require special skillsets that the in-house team does not have.  Enhance troubleshooting skills Every QA engineer must be able to troubleshoot instantly and individually. Focusing on quick troubleshooting rather than giving time in drafting and reporting problems can significantly increase QA fecundity and enable extra value for your QA team.
