Frequently Asked Questions About Test Automation
-
How do I choose the best software testing tool for test automation?
Choosing the best software testing tool for automation depends on many factors, including your tech stack, budget, and platforms. There are many open-source automation tools available like Selenium, WebdriverIO, and Cypress, as well as commercial automation tools like Katalon Studio, Mabl, and Testim. It’s usually best to devise a list of your requirements and then compare how well various tools align.
Alternatively, QualityLogic works with a wide variety of tools and can make recommendations based on your unique needs.
-
What are the pros and cons of software test automation?
The significant benefit of test automation is speed and the ability to execute a series of user behaviors consistently. This allows developers to receive rapid feedback on their code which accelerates releases and improves overall product quality. The drawback of automation is it is initially more time-consuming and costly than manual testing. If applied to product areas that are subject to a high degree of change, or if the code is not developed using industry best practices like page object model, automation can also be costly to maintain.
If a product area is unlikely to see significant change and automation will replace highly repetitive, long-term manual efforts, it usually makes sense to automate. If this isn’t true, manual testing may be a more cost-effective option.
QualityLogic helps clients define their test automation strategy and understand the ROI of an automation effort. QualityLogic recommends which product areas to automate or test manually and can supply turnkey testing teams to support these efforts.
-
What are the most popular programming languages for automation?
Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java, C#, and PHP are popular programming languages for automation. QualityLogic works with clients in their own language to make it easy for internal teams to maintain.
-
How do you choose what test cases to automate?
Deciding what test cases to automate comes down to impact. It is typically best to automate critical workflows first and then work out to less critical or peripheral workflows. Similarly, it is best to build automated testing around happy path workflows and incorporate negative tests, edge cases, and corner cases as appropriate. These approaches can be applied once the product area has been determined to be a good candidate for automation.
QualityLogic works with clients to recommend test case prioritization strategies and to develop automated test suites that deliver maximum value as soon as possible.
-
Can everything be automated?
Not everything can be automated, and not everything should. Test automation is best applied to product areas that are not undergoing regular and significant change, the rationale being that the test automation will need to be modified to account for the changes. Test automation is also best applied to tasks that are highly repetitive as that is likely to save the most time and provide the greatest cost benefit. Automation is initially time-consuming and expensive to produce, so it usually makes sense to consider the ROI in terms of how easy the automation will be to maintain once developed and the time and cost it will save post-implementation.
QualityLogic assists clients in understanding what the long-term ROI of automation is and provides QA engineering teams to develop the test automation framework and suite of automated test scripts. QualityLogic can support clients with manual testing services for any product areas not suited to automation.
-
How do I reduce the maintenance of test automation?
To reduce the time, cost, and effort of test automation, it’s typically best to build automation in a highly modular, reusable fashion using page object model. XPath or CSS Selector strategies increase the maintenance of test automation as changes are needed more often as pages are modified. It is also worth automating product areas or workflows which are unlikely to be significantly modified. If the workflow or product area is subject to frequent change, manual testing may be better until these areas become stable.
QualityLogic develops test automation for clients using page object model and modular code where possible, based on industry best practices. Our core focus is to develop automated test suites for clients which require as little maintenance as possible, thereby reducing the total cost of QA.
-
How are test automation results reported?
Test automation results can be reported directly into a software application like Jira or Azure DevOps, rendered via a reporting framework Allure, or rendered via HTML or emails. Automation can also be rendered directly in a CI/CD build system. QualityLogic tailors its automation reporting directly to the needs of our clients.
