How to Develop an Automated Testing Strategy

According to Gartner’s 2023 report, 60% of the organizations surveyed automate their software testing to boost product quality, 41% reported using it to speed up deployment, and 29% say it helps alleviate their QA teams’ workload. Also, 43% of these organizations claimed that test automation results in higher test accuracy. Despite automation’s large-scale adoption and various benefits, many QA leaders and test engineers find its implementation challenging.

What is Automated QA Testing?

Quality assurance (QA) is a critical aspect of software development. It ensures that products function correctly, meet user expectations, and maintain high reliability. Without proper QA, software can be riddled with bugs and errors, leading to user frustration, security vulnerabilities, and financial losses. Companies reported 7 billion in losses in the US alone due to software bugs in 2020.

Handling complex integrations through custom connectors

Integrations can be done efficiently with IPaaS tools. Quickly set up point-to-point connectors, add logic and orchestration, and the integration is done and configured. The difficulty comes with more custom and bespoke systems. For example, when custom fields are added to an ERP or CRM, when you need to integrate with a legacy system, or when there is no connector to interact with. Linx can assist in cases where high flexibility and customization are required.
