Testing Tips

Is it possible to test the application manually whenever the application gets update? Yes it is possible, but will take longer time during test or some time it is not possible. Also, it won’t be effective in terms of company cost, resources, Time etc.
The best way to automate the test as many as the application version gets change and you get lots of regression work.
So, to keep the application bug free, tester needs to test the application frequently. Completion of test automation process is totally depends on application whether; it is small, big or how many bugs are introduced in the application.

4) Increase Test Coverage:

Automated software testing more focus on the depth and scope of tests which increases the quality of software. Automated software testing process works on thousands of different complex test cases which is not possible with manual testing. If the software is huge and complex, manual testers are scare to test that software but testers who do automation testing can easily work on that particular software, automation testing also facilitates testers to test the software on multiple computers with different configurations. This testing process is capable to check the application inner database, data table, memory, and file containing the application to determine the application is performing as estimated.

5) Increases Speed, Efficiency, Quality and Decreases the Cost:

When we start developing the software, our main goal is to release the software on time. Although, Automation testing process uses same module in different test scenario, run fast. Automated regression test provides the non-stop system steadiness and functionality after changes to the software were completed main to shorter development cycles joint with better quality software and thus the welfare’s of automated testing fast out gain the initial costs.

6) Testers get Motivated which increases the efficiency:

In case on manual testing, testers do not get any new technique and tools, they apply manual tricks to test the software, that’s why they don’t get motivation which affects the manual tester’s efficiency. But, in case of automation testing, testers always get different tools with testing software which makes them to work fast with increasing efficiency.

7) Helpful in testing complex web application:

Automation testing process is helpful for those web applications where millions of users interact together. If we go for manual testing process, creating those many users manually and simultaneously are difficult or impossible.
So, to test those web applications go for load automation testing and create virtual users to check load capacity of the web application.
Automation testing process can also be used on that software where GUI will always be same and functionalities gets changed always due to source code changes.

Conclusion:

In the fast moving world, the Automation testing plays an vital role to achieve most of the testing goals with effective use of resources and time. However before start automating the test tasks you should be careful about choosing automation tool.
Make sure that you have skilled people before deciding When to Automate Software testing? If you are not doing so, you will not get ROI which you invested in expensive automation tool, which leads to frustration. You should list down all requirements before going for automation tool. Every tool cannot support all requirements, so to overcome the limitations for automation tool you need to go with Manual testing techniques. If you don’t have budget to get the paid version then you first start with open source tool. Open source tool is also a good option to start with automation.
