TAF ROI

You can improve both the efficiency of test development and reduce test maintenance by using TAF. As a result the ROI from automation is significantly improved.

By improving the test automation process, TAF reduces the risk and cost of testing implementing an application and significantly increases the ROI from test automation.

These ROI gains are made both with the initial test automation implementation and through the lifetime of an application system that is supported with the automation. The ROI gains of this approach include:

• Improved test coverage and efficiency
• Reducing implementation time
• Making test automation usable for business users who can test their process areas
• Reducing the upgrade cycle workload and deployment time

Overall, you achieve much greater efficiency in your testing using TAF, which results in shorter testing cycles. This means the same testing can be achieved at a lower cost, or more thorough testing can be achieved at the same cost.

Generally, you can achieve a full payback on an investment in TAF in 1-2 test cycles. Other key benefits:

• The riskier parts of a system can be tested more frequently and more thoroughly

• It is simpler to involve the business in testing as they can focus on preparing their test data and test cases, rather than the technicalities of a test tool
