Everything about Testing Automation and SAP
In the world of software development and handling the intricacies of creating the most cohesive user experience, Testing Automation is a name you must have come across. The testing process enables the developer to understand how he can improve and squash out the bugs. Moreover, it also makes the software more reliable and effective in terms of quality.
What is Testing Automation?
Testing automation is the process of using virtual computer software to perform a test case suite. The algorithms work in a way to test what they are created for, over and over again, before presenting a comprehensive report giving out the feedback in terms of the successful or unsuccessful output.
It is different from Manual Testing in which a human has to personally perform all the necessary tests, no matter how great in number they may be, and still then have to compare the average results.
Benefits of Testing Automation
Testing Automation, when compared to Manual Testing, has a massive edge in terms of benefits. Some of those are:
Saves time
Machines are fast! There’s no denying that. And obviously, faster than humans. Automated testing can save a company or development team a big chunk of time just due to the fact that algorithms can run effortlessly without skipping a beat. On the other hand, if everything would be done manually; the testing in all fields and workflows, it would take a massive toll on the overall productivity. Therefore, nothing beats Automated Testing when it comes to raw efficiency.
Saves money
Testing Automation through software can mean heavens for the one who doesn’t have a big fat bank account to shed. Since everything is done automatically, there is no use for a manual workforce or people sitting in front of the screen testing the software.
Rapidity
The swiftness brought in testing with everything working under a specially designed software tool is a huge plus point for anyone ready with his software. Testing can be done over and over again without any pause or hiccups. Even overnight, you can have the tests running and not worry about not getting your software ready on time.
Repeatability
The efficiency and effectiveness of software can only be evaluated by intense repeated testing. Because, obviously you will be performing a task on your software, once it’s ready, multiple times. As a result, testing automation comes in handy in this regard because you can quickly put the test runs on loops.
No more tedious manual testing
Human nature has it this way that something repeated without a change can become tedious and boring. Therefore, automated testing puts this entire aspect out of the equation, as machines neither feel nor have emotions.
Lesser number of escaped defects
Bugs that appear in the final build of the software, accessible to the general audience, are known as escaped defects. These tend to degrade the user experience and create a negative impact. However, with automated testing running checks on regressions, acceptance, and performance can ensure that your final build is the best version of the software you make.
