7 Ways to Improve Test Automation
Manual testing requires testers to cycle through the data continuously, utilize various
input combinations, record observations, and compare outcomes to intended behavior.
This takes a lot of time and effort.
Automated testing leveraging test data automation accelerates all of these operations,
and testing teams may execute automated tests across many operating systems and
hardware setups using a single tool.
By executing automated tests as part of a continuous workflow, they can also facilitate
quicker troubleshooting.
Here are the ways to improve test automation to achieve
better efficiency.
● Select the Tests that Need to be Automated
When determining what to automate, considerations must be made, including the type
of apps being tested and hardware requirements.
Test data automation is a good option for repetitive tests, demanding complex
calculations and challenging to perform manually.
● Prepare Tests for Multiple Scenarios
Multiple test cases should be prepared in advance to determine the test duration and
potential flaws.
Finding more application features that can be automated is also beneficial. If the focus
is only on limited test situations and procedures, many faults might be missed.
● Early Testing
Test automation should be used early in the lifecycle to maximize its benefits. You may
identify the bugs early in the software lifecycle and fix problems before they start to
affect quality.
An enterprise release manager can avoid spending significant time and money
addressing errors later in the development lifecycle or production.
● Segregate and Prioritize
The tests that require automation should be divided into categories and selected in
order of importance.
By separating the tests in a way that adheres to the anticipated software production
timeline, the automated testing procedure may be more useful.
● Choose the Right Framework for Testing
The testing framework you select will affect the maintenance costs and the return on
investment by affecting the success rate of the test automation.
To maximize test coverage and effectiveness, determine your code standards and data
handling techniques in advance.

● Ensure that No UI Changes are Made
Script and keyword-based tests built for apps that may undergo functional and UI
changes might cause problems. The test scripts may not function with later iterations of
the program.
Therefore, precedence should be given to creating tests in a way that isn't affected by
the changes in the user interface. In this way, frequent adjustments won't be needed
later.
● Choose the Right Testing Tools
Selecting the proper tools for test automation, test management, tracking, reporting, and
analytics may aid in getting the desired results from the test automation project.
Use transition testing, behavioral/black-box testing, and structural/white-box testing to
fulfill various testing requirements.
Conclusion
Most organizations are choosing to automate their testing processes instead of using
manual testing. All products must first undergo testing before being put into practice for
real-world performance.
As a result, many businesses turn to automated testing procedures to shorten release
cycles, eliminate time-consuming methods, and improve the quality of software.
