Test
Automation
Automated functional
testing, especially automated regression
testing, provides significant benefits beyond
manual testing and the ROI makes it a
worthwhile investment for almost any
project.
The benefits are
especially compelling for projects, or systems,
with multiple releases over a period of
time.
The benefits of automated testing are that
testing becomes repeatable, faster and less
labour intensive. In particular it reduces
the workload of manual testing on Business
Users, who are often hard to schedule for
testing.
TestPro has expertise with
all the major tool vendors and can show the
value of these tools using our implementation
experience from many projects.
For large systems we
recommend the use of an automation
framework. This provides a scalable
methodology and implementation platform that
results in an automation solution that is
simple to maintain and evolve in line with
target system changes, whilst supporting
hundreds or thousands of tests.
We are able to provide the
competency to assist you to implement
automation efficiently and see a quick return
on your investment. We can also reduce your
automation cost and risk with the TestPro
Automation Framework.
Longer term skills transfer
and processes can be established to ensure
automation success for the life of the project
maintenance.
Using automated testing
tools, testing delivers a repeatable and
established series of outcomes. With automated
testing tools the tests are:

Testing
Automation is an expense
that most projects and companies want to see
achieved, but cannot afford to have the
necessary dedicated staff with the expertise
and skills to actually deliver the projects. By
supporting your development and test teams,
automation can be carried out by a specialist
team using an on/off site model.
Automation scripts are
created and then executed on a scheduled basis,
finding errors more often and faster than
normal manual regression/load testing. Clearly
this cannot replace manual testing, especially
for new code or changes, but can improve the
regressive and previous performance
characteristics.
