Why is Software Test Automation Crucial for Business
Gone are the days when enterprises would have time to have second thoughts on the implementation of automation testing in the software test life cycle. Given the investment cost of time and money for leveraging automation, enterprises had to think twice before adopting automation. But this is not the case anymore.
Businesses are now clear that they don’t have to invest in manual testing for repetitive and boring tasks.
In order to understand the importance of automation testing better, Testrig Technologies brings to you the important reasons why you need to focus on software test automation to test your mobile and web applications and meet the evolving demands of rapidly changing business needs.
- Helps you leverage advanced technology
The rapid changes in software development techniques have also given rise to better tools that are used for software test automation. These tools operate at advanced levels and act as a great integration platform as the tools are connected with the CI/CD pipeline. Integration of automation tools with other test management and reporting tools helps you provide a deeper insight into the application and thus helps your decision-making process.
2. Define a structured and speedy development process
Another important advantage of implementing automation testing in your organization is that it can help in streamlining your testing process which would help yield better results. Automation testing increases testing speed, and quality and improves the accuracy of testing. Automation also helps in the parallel execution of test cases across different OS, browsers, and devices.
3. Not all tests scenarios can be handled through manual testing
Consider a situation where you need to generate a large amount of data in a few minutes, for testing your database. Generating millions of records in a matter of seconds and testing the same in the database is just not possible unless you use automated testing tools. Similarly, consider a situation where you have to test the performance of your website. Situations like this can only be handled through automation testing.
4. Automation helps you save time
We all are aware of the age-old saying that ‘Time is money and that is where automation testing comes into the picture, to save our time. One of the main focus areas of automation is that it tries to save your crucial time, which can be then utilized for better productive tasks. For instance, automating your regression test cases can help you ensure that new software upgrades do not break the functioning of an existing software application. So each time you install a new build your automated regression test cases will check if all required functionalities in your software are working fine.
5. Automation helps reduce manual efforts
Automation helps in reducing your manual efforts, thereby saving the cost of operations in the process. As manual testing is time-consuming and requires investment in human resources, automation testing can come to your rescue to save your efforts and increase your test coverage.
