Automated tests are aimed at detecting software failures preventing a person from having to run the tests manually. In this case, the testing expert generates a case to be tested using a tool so that it is then performed automatically. It does not require the intervention of the individual in each new execution. The test simulates human interaction with the software.

Automate generates significant benefits in the development and release of corporate or end-user-oriented software. Next, we highlight the most relevant and if you are interested in Test Automation Tool, check this website to learn more about test automation.

Test Execution Capability

It is possible to perform a large number of tests in a short period of time. They can be executed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when the test team is not in the office. They can be run in parallel and on different servers, further increasing their capacity.

Continuous Integration and Devops

Devops is an important trend in the construction of modern software. It aims to streamline the software release process, seeking to respond quickly to business demands. In that scenario, that the tests are automated, it is vital to accelerate the entire delivery process. This allows, early on, stopping the production process if something is not right. Automated tests allow detecting regression, integration, functional failures, among others. In this way it is possible to ensure that the software complies with the established quality standards by delivering reliable versions.

Save time and resources

Automated tests multiply the capacity of testing teams or Quality units of organizations. They substantially minimize the execution of manual tests, the latter being required only in special scenarios. In this way, the human resource can perform other types of tasks, while automation is responsible for performing the relevant and repetitive tests.

On the other hand, it allows more tests to be carried out, without the need to increase the number of people dedicated to testing. This makes the work team much more efficient and productive, making profitable the execution of software tests.

Repeatable tests

The work involved in developing an automated test is rewarded for a large number of times it will be executed. In cases where the test requires little maintenance because the software is stable, the benefit is practicality, since the test is performed effortlessly. For regressive tests, automated tests can be run again and again as the software evolves, ensuring consistency and that everything that worked in the previous version will continue to work in the new one.

A single tool for all platforms

Using ZeuZ, our automated test platform, you can manage automation for mobile applications, web, and GUI and legacy systems. This is a huge advantage since having a single tool, which handles a single language, accelerates the learning curve and gains experience and results quickly, thus facilitating the induction of new members to the testing team and avoiding the difficulty of having to run tests on different applications.

Greater precision

Automated tests facilitate accuracy when diagnosing the fault detected. They provide evidence in a series of reports, as well as a video that allows an in-depth analysis of the situation. When using different data sets in the same test case, it is possible to be very accurate in diagnosing problem situations. Automated testing also allows for greater code and case coverage, so very thorough and accurate tests of functionality are achieved, and more conditions tested.

All these benefits provide significant savings for companies that integrate automation as one of the pillars in their testing strategy. Either because they enhance the productivity of your testing equipment by allowing greater testing capacity in less time or because it allows you to release software quickly and with fewer failures.

Automated testing is an excellent way to make the production of functional software viable that responds with a cost-effective testing strategy and delivery times.
