Benefits of a Test Automation Strategy

A successful testing strategy and framework can positively impact your business and organization in a number of ways like:

Provides more comprehensive testing
Even complex test automation tasks are completed very easily and your products become more robust as a result.
Creates the testing standard for your organization
Your strategy will become the standard that’s used across the organization because it’s complete and robust.
Promotes the re-use of critical components.
This increases employee productivity since they can invest their time into other critical areas of their work and business.
If your strategy is based on result-oriented approach,
it will give quick confidence about shippable software to stakeholders.
Reduces maintenance costs.
You can easily change and update your testing methodology easily. People in your team can adopt these changes quickly and easily.

Review and Analysis of Functionality

The software to be tested is studied during functionality evaluation and analysis. Everything about it is scrutinized, from its operation to its external and internal design, to identify all of the needs and public expectations. The software’s many functionalities and designs have been specified and are ready to be tested. When the results start flowing in, this outline will help you figure out which exact functions to search for.

The functionality overview also aids in determining the best sort of automation testing solution for the product. For example, some testing methods are designed for E-commerce software, while others are designed for social media software and gaming software.

Every sort of software has its own set of testing procedures that are specifically designed to identify its many functions. A full functionality assessment will also assist you in establishing the appropriate standards for how the product should be before it is publicly released.

Setup of the Test Script

The script/programming language used to write the codes that make up the test system is also included in the automated testing system. This is the portion of the test system that the system understands. It must be able to interface successfully with the test environment and carry out its functions appropriately.

A faulty test system will result from a badly prepared test script. It’s worth noting that the entire automation testing system is based on multiple codes that you might not notice. The system decodes these codes and interprets them in a form that you can understand.

Some advantages of test automation over manual testing are as follows:

Although automation should be a component of your entire plan, focusing only on it may not be the greatest choice. Manual and automated testing are frequently used in tandem. As a consequence, combining these two approaches can help you get greater outcomes. Manual testing can help you receive faster and more accurate feedback in the following situations: There aren’t any tests that are only performed once or twice. Tests that need the presence of a human observer (for example, when your task is to ensure customer experience or user-friendliness of software). Exploratory tests that need the expertise, ability, and experience of genuine specialists. Tests conducted on the spot.

Improves test accuracy
Saves time and effort
It offers test coverage
Increases test case efficiency
Reduces maintenance costs
Increases the speed of the execution
Reduces manual intervention

Most of the time, most of these companies use automation just because others are using it. Here are some of the problems:

Companies are not sure of the right way to implement test automation
They do not have the right automated testing methods in place
Companies may not know when to implement test automation and when not to
They are not aware of the right set of tools that meet their requirements

Frequently Asked Questions:

In a nutshell, a test automation approach is integrated into your bigger testing strategy and use the same processes and technologies to establish who you’re testing for, what users do, what testers do, what developers do, and all associated metrics.

The following things should be addressed when creating a test strategy:

  • Testing objectives
  • Testing guidelines
  • Testing approach
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Levels of testing
  • Test requirements
  • Test deliverable
  • Entry and exit criteria
  1. Don’t get right into mapping out how you now test.
  2. Have a certain end objective in mind.
  3. Make use of current programming languages.
  4. Change your attitude about automation.
  1. The cost of developing and maintaining automation.
  2. The amount of time till the automation must be deployed.
  3. The availability of resources to carry out automation goals.
  4. The automation’s security and stability.
  5. The number of automation systems that must be handled, as well as their complexity.

Nikolaj Tolkačiov

Because I'm lazy and easily bored, I tend to automate everything I can, if I need to do something twice that is a good indication that something
is off. My automation experience suit includes mobile, gherkin, web, C#, Java, JavaScript, C++, Ruby, and multiple frameworks. I do coding and
“DevOps'ing” too because I gain most of the value not deep-diving into one framework or discipline, but generalizing in the whole spectrum of
software engineering. This generalist point of view allows me to see some issues from different angles and come up with more solutions to solve problems.

Jenna Charlton

I began speaking in 2018 at CodeMash in Sandusky Ohio where my first talk How Pro Wrestling Made Me A World Champion Tester put me on the proverbial map.
Since then I’ve given far more serious talks at conferences like TestBash and Star. In 2020 I was a keynote at STARWest Virtual testing conference and I was on the selection
committees for STARWest 2021 and Agile Testing Days USA as well as host for TestBash Home 2020 and 2021. I am an occasional tech blogger, trainer, product owner, and
always a tester, but the accomplishments I’m most proud of are my ordination as a deacon at South Euclid UCC in 2016 and my long and happy marriage to my spouse for
the past 11 years.
