What is Automated Testing?

Automated testing is the ability to have a software tool or suite of software tools test your applications directly without human intervention. Generally test automation involves the testing tool send data to the application being tested and then compares the results with those that were expected when the test was created. Automated testing is a process that validates if software is functioning appropriately and meeting requirements.

Why Use Automated Testing?

The average test plan for a commercial grade application will have between 2,000 and 10,000 test cases. Your test team of five must manually execute and document results for between 400 and 2,000 test cases. And the scheduled release date of your product is fast approaching. No worries; clone your team and work around the clock. Or perhaps there’s a better way.

This might be a good time to add automated testing to your test plan. The first step in this direction is realizing that no test plan can be executed completely with automated methods. The challenge is determining which components of the test plan belong in the manual test bucket and which components are better served in the automated bucket.

This is about setting realistic expectations; automation cannot do it all. You should not automate everything. Humans are smarter than machines (at least currently) and we can see patterns and detect failures intuitively in ways that computers are not able to.

What Types of Automation Exist?

Now that you have decided to add automated testing to your test plan, you need to consider which types of testing you will need:

• 

  Unit Testing

• 

  GUI Testing

• 

  API Testing

• 

  Performance / Load Testing

Advantages of Automated Testing

Testing is a very important phase in the development process. It ensures that all the bugs are ironed out and that the product, software or hardware, is functioning as expected or as close to the target performance as possible. Even so, some tasks are too laborious to be done manually even though they are easy enough to do. This is where automated testing comes in. The key advantages to automated testing include:

• 

  Saves time and money by making testing more efficient

• 

  Improves testing accuracy compared to testing directed by humans

• 

  Increases test coverage because multiple testing tools can be deployed at once allowing for parallel testing of different test scenarios

• 

  Helps developers by finding bugs and errors more quickly

• 

  Faster Feedback. Automated testing comes as a relief for validation during various phases of a software project.

• 

  Accelerated Results.

• 

  Reduced Business Expenses.

• 

  Testing Efficiency Improvement.

• 

  Higher Overall Test Coverage.

• 

  Reusability of Automated Tests.

• 

  Earlier Detection of Defects.

• 

  Thoroughness in Testing.
