Manual testing and test automation roles evolve with the software landscape. As more enterprises increase automation rates, fewer test cases will be left for testers to run manually.
More manual testers learn to automate their tests, and automation engineers find that the focus of their work changes as well. Manual testers and automation engineers will see their job descriptions changing and, as a result, become more valuable to their respective companies than ever before.
The shift to test automation is happening: API tests are much more stable and faster than UI tests, so API testing will be the dominant method of testing apps in the future. Next to this, service virtualization, will play a vital role as an enabler of high test automation rates in complex and interconnected landscapes as well, becoming an integral part of test automation.
If we take a brief look at the history of test automation, we recognize that maintenance efforts have always been the biggest threat to automated test cases: when the automated testing maintenance efforts outweigh the manual execution efforts, why stick with automation? Using a sophisticated framework eases the pain, but on top of being extremely expensive to implement and maintain, frameworks transform test automation into a software development project, excluding business testers from the automation process.
To complicate things further, API testing today is purely the domain of the technically savvy. How can enterprise API testing be expanded without first hiring more developers? Don’t forget Service Virtualization! Which will soon be a fundamental requirement in complex system landscapes. Without Service Virtualization, testing environments will not be available to support the systems in Continuous Test – who will deal with that?
Does that mean that all our manual testers of today need to be replaced by “development-testers” in order to meet the rigors of Agile and DevOps practices?
Budget holdes, product owners and QA teams face the challenge to rapidly test complex, integrated applications within very short time spans. Often budgets and test time frames are very tight and professional test capacity is not available at the right time.
FASTEST is a Modern Continuous Testing platform that accelerates testing to keep pace with modern Software development teams. FASTEST is the best available Continuous testing platform for Agile and DevOps project teams. With the industry's most innovative functional testing technologies, FASTEST breaks through the barriers experienced with conventional testing tools.
Using FASTEST, enterprise development and testing teams achieve unprecedent 90%+ test automation rates, enabling them to deliver the fast and continuous feedback required for enablement of Continuous Development, Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Testing and Continuous Deployment (CD).
