Software testing is laborious. It is a long process that must not be omitted in any case if we need to deliver a full-born product. However, many tasks performed by manual testers are repetitive processes that take a lot of time, require many activities, and increase the risk of errors due to their repetitive nature.
In such situations, automated testing might help you. It lets you release some burden from your specialists and assign them to more demanding activities in many projects. As such, it simultaneously contributes to increasing ROI in testing. Check out how Craftware’s automation testers can prepare your organization to enter the next level of software quality development.

First, we determine the areas where we can perform automatic tests and consider what business value we want to derive from them this way. Is it checking the system performance? Perhaps we need quick information on the product’s quality we are developing? When we determine the purpose of automated tests, we take care of the technical aspect; we select the tool and create the test environment and the scripts necessary to execute the tests. After running the tests, we can analyze the results and verify whether we have achieved the intended business value.

Automation is indispensable in performance, load, and overload testing. However, some aspects are difficult to automate. Some non-functional tests related to aesthetics, clarity, or legibility, for example, are based on subjective impressions. We cannot determine the initial conditions and expected results for them. Therefore, the appearance or clarity can only be judged by a human eye (and therefore by manual testing).
Similarly, it is not possible to automate accessibility tests that are performed to evaluate the software concerning adaptation to the needs of people with disabilities. Therefore, the recommended automation scope should include regression testing requirements. In their plan, it is necessary to determine which parts of the manual regression test cases are subject to automation.
Test automation should not focus on new or changing features and areas. -
Repetitiveness is automation’s great advantage. Assuming the correct implementation of automated tests, we can ensure that necessary actions will be performed the same on each occasion. Moreover, unlike humans, these tests work constantly without breaks for coffee, sleep, or weekend rest. ? However, automated tests lack some elements needed to thoroughly test an application: intelligence, intuition, and imagination. Automation supplements manual tests but cannot replace, for example, exploration tests or a technique based on error guessing, based on the tester’s experience, both in the context of the tested product and the tools used to create it.
