Automation Testing — How well are you using it? This blog answers What automation is? What does it do? Is automation the perfect solution you’ve been looking for? How can you make the most of it? The word “Automation” takes the software industry to the next level. Automation has evolved the information technology as it reduces notable process time by running software scripts to test software products and generate test reports which is preferred over conventional manual tests.

Manual testing is carried out to find defects without the usage of tools. The whole testing process is travel along with the specified life cycle. It includes acceptance testing, white box testing, black-box testing, unit testing, system testing and integration testing. The manual testing takes a long time to complete the testing process and find errors if any.

When engineers circulating the automation testing tools, the testing process will make very effective in the testing environment to generate the report. The process behind the automation testing takes the copy of source code to carry the testing, it is one of the secured procedure in the automation. Listed here are the three approaches to get started and run effective automation.

The big treat of the automation process provides no need to set up the testing environment frequently for of security testing and performance testing. In this concept, developers have to enhance the configuration for the need of the test but it takes overnight or weekend to give the result.

Moreover, the developers have to add automate steps to run the automation. So far the automation depends on the manual efforts. If there is any problem occurs in the manual set up, the automation may not get help in the progression.

To establish stable automation keep the things to be ready in the progress mode such as good infrastructure, well-configured product and suitable data’s. Here also had some issues behind in a stable environment includes high maintenance, it takes a long time to configure together, high maintenance and little bit do changes while in the run time. This environment is very much attracted to the developers on its trend.

IaC stands — Infrastructure as Code which manages networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topology. The purpose of IaC can spin up test automation. Surely it is low cost and very efficient in the testing environment and different ways to build the automation by using in-build tools or run continuous integration on a public cloud instance or a container.

The challenging part of this — will not cover whole things from security, reliability, data integrity and all. So it is difficult to handle like an all-rounder. Compare to the above approaches it is a little bit stuck in some situations. Our suggestion is to make automation investment is less successful.

Infrastructure, application, data and so on. It may get stuck in the testing process even not able to adopting DevOps. In the static environment, we are not assuring the quality between development and operations.

The whole thing has to run effectively, set up the dynamic testing environment. Based on the internet survey, the solution is Environment as a Service (EaaS). The EaaS provides the service to a business process which includes application, infrastructure and data. Since it is suitable for automation and provides on-demand for user manual.

If you defined EaaS, which is a very good entity for your test automation, is a brilliant choice to implement your automation.

To wrap things up, Software development takes a definitive amount of time. As much as manual process confirms results, automation cuts down on production time to an extent. To ensure the quality you cannot replace every part with an automation pipeline. However, you can replace processes that can let you make the most of it during such processes.
