Frequently Asked Questions:
Typically, automation is written before development begins and is upgraded as the digital product is developed. Basic scripts or sets of scripts are created, running in parallel or one at a time. This allows all code and third-party integrations to be fully covered by tests.
Test scripts are almost always deployed at the start of the next sprint and modified in between. During this time, we make adjustments to the code and improve the verification algorithm. When ready, the script is launched.
In the case of regression testing, automated scripts almost 24/7 scan the code in search of errors that occurred after changes were made to software components. That’s why automation, though a difficult but important element of testing, should be run as often as possible to ensure a reliable test result.
Test automation is usually provided as part of the development process or as a separate service by most web development businesses. The major goals of automated testing are to improve software quality, make the development process more agile, and eliminate potential risks.
In the classical sense, yes, automation is better than manual testing. But it is worth understanding that both methods are components of a set of operations necessary for the most detailed study of the software being developed.
Test automation helps you cope with many single-type tasks without involving additional specialists. All you need is one QA Engineer who scripts the testing of all the features and components of an application.
It can also parallelize tests between virtual machines or cloud test environments. This is necessary when a digital solution under development is intended to be used on multiple platforms. In this way, software versions for different browsers, operating systems, or mobile systems can be tested simultaneously.
Almost always, except for random or one-time tests. Test automation allows you to speed up all processes, optimize your routine and do more work with less staff in a shorter time.
Automation is especially relevant when you need to test different software versions in parallel, regression checks, and cyclic with random values. All these processes are quite expensive in terms of resources. Therefore it is better to delegate their execution to algorithms of working tools such as Selenium, Ranorex, TestCafe, or other utilities, frameworks, and complexes.
At Zapple Tech, we try to ensure 100% task coverage with automated tests by creating universal scenarios and repeatable code.
As a rule, the cost of testing is calculated individually for each project. If you take the median value, on average, this process is priced between $5,000 and $50,000.
The price is influenced by the following factors:
- complexity and scale of a project;
- functionality;
- team size;
- type of cooperation;
- technologies;
- project timeline;
- specializations and skill levels of performers.
In fact, it is automation that does not increase the price of the project because, usually, the whole set of services is considered. We at Zapple Tech use all possible methods to improve the quality of QA without evaluating every single component or performance model. In addition, we think that only 100% automation can provide the proper level of code cleanliness and the best UX.
Usually, the team is matched to the project. That’s why the composition may vary. For a large and voluminous application, you need more than 15 specialists, for a medium and small one, a team of 3-5 experts is enough.
The typical composition: Team Lead, Project Manager, QA Engineer, and 2-3 QA Testers.
Since we work according to Agile, DevOps, and TestDevOps methodologies, we can fully control the process and synchronize progress with other development participants. This is possible thanks to the continuous delivery of CI/CD using Jenkins or other similar tools.
Close cooperation and a small experienced team allow to concentrate and assign tasks to individual experts, minimizing the risk of missing bugs.
In order to release a trending solution and use it to win popularity among the target audience, you need to reach the market on time. To do this, you can take two paths: abandon software testing, concentrate on development, or use automation of all QA processes. And the second option is preferable for businesses because it decreases the chance of errors after release, even when it seems that the digital solution works perfectly.
Automation speeds up the QA process at least 2 times faster than manual testing. It also affects the release date, reducing it. Accordingly, if you automate testing, you will get a working app without bugs in time, and you will be able to offer it to your customers before your competitors.

The sooner you fully test a digital solution and eliminate all bugs in it, the sooner an IT product will hit the market. Automation allows you to speed up the QA process by at least 10 times by scripting routine operations and performing them autonomously. Moreover, this type of testing combines perfectly with the CI/CD method providing full synchronization of the development progress with error detection and correction.
All this combined reduces not only the development time but also the overall release time of a digital product. Due to the close integration of all processes in Agile, DevOps, and TestDevOps methodologies, it is possible to guarantee that the IT solution will be implemented on time and the number of bugs in the final version will be minimized or leveled out altogether.

This is a whole set of operations aimed at accelerating the testing process and improving its results. This procedure is performed by experienced QA experts using up-to-date tools, algorithms, and techniques. Development languages are used to create test scenarios, and the code itself is written from scratch for each individual task.
All script fragments are reused for regression testing. This accelerates the entire bug-finding process from the early stages of development to the final release of the IT product. Both classic and codeless tools, utilities, and frameworks are used in work, capable of providing almost 100% coverage of the main testing tasks. It is also practiced to implement advanced technologies such as AI, ML, and RPA to improve the relevance of results.
Full automation helps QA masters investigate the web application under development faster and more thoroughly. If you manually test all features, integrations, interfaces, and software code, you will face staff shortages, poor work organization, and delays. This is particularly detrimental to release dates as well as the quality of the digital product.
Automation is done by developing scripts – mini-programs that follow a given algorithm, cyclically performing a series of actions with one or more parameters. This reduces the amount of routine in the QA process and details the bug search results. Some tools can also generate their own test report in a human-readable format, which speeds up the testing and bug decoding even more.
Yes, we can achieve almost 100% coverage of all functions by automating web application testing. You have to understand that some checks are faster and easier to perform manually by one specialist than to write code for this process. But everything that can be automated should be automated. This is an axiom.
If we consider automation by type of testing, we can script everything here: smoke, end-to-end, regression, interface, API, unit, functional, load, user, and security. All of these tests can and should be automated to maximize test coverage and speed up the entire QA process while getting relevant and valid results.
If a one-time or quick test of a certain parameter (usually used in spot testing) is required, it is easier to assign a single tester and search for errors manually.

Always fast and professional. Exactly what we have needed for company with dynamic growing business. We were working together on automation testing framework.
Hennadii Bulakh
I’ve really enjoyed working with Zappletech. To be honest, it’s been better than having an in house team of developers. They are smart, hard working and pick up on projects easily.
Thomas Ugarte
My developers really enjoyed the trainings and consulting done by zappletech. We found the trainer very competent. Thank you guys!
Jakub Polomsky
Zappletech have provided us with software development and test automation services, both in terms of guiding the architecture, and implementing a lot of test case.
