Test Automation Foundation Explained

We don't need to tell you that test automation will increase quality and save your software development company time and money spent on doing manual regression testing. It's known that many businesses begin at the user interface layer, which has the lowest ROI (return in investment) and perform automated tests that take a fraction of time by running regression tests with each build, rather than investing weeks near the end of the development cycle.

The top 9 tools for automated front-end testing in 2023

Front-end testing is a form of black box software testing in that it requires no behind-the-scenes understanding of how a software application works. It’s solely concerned with evaluating the user experience of an app. A front-end test is only effective if it tests both the functionality and visual appearance of an app, where “appearance” includes things like the layout of a page and the size, shape, color, and legibility of visual elements like buttons, form fields, and text.

What Is Intelligent Process Automation? 5 Key Facts

Intelligent process automation (IPA) isn’t for everyone. Let me explain. Intelligent process automation is meant for large-scale digital transformations. So if you're looking to make small changes at the margins, like automating simple tasks, IPA probably isn't for you. IPA is better suited to large organizations with lots of data that want to streamline complex, enterprise-wide processes—to digitally transform their workflows, top to bottom.

Turbocharge Your Test Automation With Katalon and GenRocket

When doing testing automation, it is extremely critical to be able to perform data-driven testing. Data-driven testing (DDT) at the test case level allows you to add one or more data files and manage data binding at the test case level. The most common approach is to provide an Excel or CSV file as input to the test case. The file is modeled per test case structure and then populated with different datasets.

Selenium vs. Out-of-the-Box Test Automation Tools: Which Is Right for You?

Test automation has become an essential part of the software development process. Rather than spending hours conducting manual tests, you can write a script once and execute it with each release. This helps to maximize test coverage and save time, resulting in lower testing costs and a better customer experience. But which test automation tool should you use? What’s the difference?
