Why learn Software Automated Testing?

Time and Money saving over Manual Testing

In the Agile development world, software source code gets modified quite frequently. This forces the software testers to run the tests over and over again which results in increase spending on resources and increases the chances of errors. Automated software testing can reduce the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours. A time savings that translates directly into cost savings and makes software more reliable.

Increases Software Test Coverage

Automated tests can be configured to test every element of the software. It can look inside an application and see memory contents, data tables, file contents, and internal program states to determine if the product is behaving as expected. It can help to execute thousands of different complex test cases during every test run. This is not possible with manual tests.

Improves Accuracy

Manual tests are prone to bugs skipping to production due to human error. Testers may make mistakes which results in the lower quality of software. Automated testing overcome this problem by executing every step in a consistent manner.

Simulate Real World Scenario

It is not possible to create production scenarios for manual testing. However, Automated testing on the other hand can simulate tens, hundreds or thousands of virtual users interacting with a network, software and web applications.

Improves Communication between Developers and Testers

Automated tests can be used by developers to catch problems quickly before sending to QA. Developers can schedule the tests to be run automatically whenever source code changes and notify the team if the tests fail.

Different types of software tests that can be automated

Unit Testing: Unit test is the way of testing smallest piece of code that can be logically isolated in a system also known as units.

Functional Testing: Functional Testing validates the software system against the functional requirements or specifications.

Regression Testing: Regression testing is the process of re-running functional and non-functional tests to confirm the software performs as expected after a change being made.

Black Box Testing: Black-box testing is a method of software testing to check the functionality of an application without getting into the internal structures or workings of the system.

Integration Testing: Integration testing is a method to test all the modules of the system as a group.

Keyword Driven Testing: Keyword Driven Testing is a scripting technique which uses data files to contain the keywords related to the application being tested.

Data Driven Testing: Data Driven Testing is a method in which testing is done on the data that is stored in table or spreadsheet format.

Smoke Testing: Smoke Testing is a method to ensure the deployed software build is stable.
