The need for software, in almost every field, is increasing every day, and there are more potential risks associated with software malfunctions. Hence, companies need to test their software in every possible case of use. This is to extend to the customers their Quality Assurance (QA) Automation pledge.
QA Automation and Test Automation
Most people in the software industry know the following things about QA testing tools. First, there are distinct differences between manual and automated testing. Second, there is too much work, and too many errors a developer needs to take care of in the manual method. One can, thus, easily deduce the need for testing the software before it is put into use by the clients.
More than that, the inevitability of automated software testing. BPK Tech steps into the picture here as a provider of expert knowledge and automation testing tools. You can learn about various automation testing tools from this list of the 18 best automation testing tools for 2022.
How Inevitable are QA Automation and Automated Testing?
A manual testing engineer plays the role of an end-user and follows a written test plan while maintaining records of his findings in log files and SQL. There are many such repetitive tasks to be performed by the inspector in a formal testing process. Those are avoidable if there are automation testing tools. Besides, the best QA Automation tools can give you a lead in the sense that they are critical in the following two software engineering approaches:
- Continuous delivery, in which software product is done in short cycles.
- Continuous testing aims to reduce developer waiting time for feedback.
We, at BPK Tech, help our clients in automating their existing manual test cases. Along with that, we also help them start all over in automation with our in-depth automation knowledge and innovative QA testing tools. If you are in a company doing manual Quality Assurance Testing, it means you are spending money to build QA resources. That, and a lot of time on some laborious tasks associated with it. Especially if the scale of the project is large. Add to that, the error-prone nature of the work since it involves high human interaction at all stages.
Such problems are nothing but a result of inevitable human involvement in doing some mundane tasks again and again. Whereas some of the best QA Automation tools allow for reusability of test cases and solve the issue.
Automated software testing, while solving these problems, gives us the following advantages:
Framework Approach
QA Automation provides us with the possibility of going by a framework approach. This is an integrated system of building block components that simplifies the automation effort. The advantage is that you do not need to change the entire driver Script and startup script if there is a change initiated in any test case.
Time
Automation testing tools save the time spent on exploratory testing and tedious tasks( take low-level regression testing for example). It is used in coding these tests and repeatedly making the needed adjustments. This way, time is spent on more important issues in your software such as customer requirements, functionality, and improvements.
Cost
The initial cost of implementation is high if we compare it to manual testing. This, however, is justified in the long run since it reduces the necessity for multiple coding revisions. Again, it indirectly pays off by freeing you for more important issues as said above, and by saving the time involved.
One common misconception is that the automated method is superior to manual means. While it is true to some extent, it highly depends upon the applicability. QA Automation, however, has an unassailable lead in the automation of big projects in particular.
What’s Our Work Plan?
BPK Tech’s QA Automation is a proven model for automated software testing that has fetched us recognition in the IT industry. We employ our own unique framework to run tests. We have a 5-step approach which is shown below.
Identify System
We examine our client’s software and identify how it fits in our framework to proceed forward since it involves the selection of test tools based upon the technology under which the application is built on.
Understand the Need
We look for specific things and define the scope of automation such as the areas of automated testing, the complexity of test cases under concern, and so on.
Leverage BPK Tech’s QA Automation Framework
Our unique framework is to create the infrastructure where different tools can do their job in perfect sync to offer the solution.
Setup Framework
We define the format to provide the results and the execution and reports of results with our framework. This is done with the help of innovative QA testing tools that we have developed in our lab.
Report Results
The reports are generated once the framework is run against the test application, and test cases are executed by it.
Why We are the Right Choice for You?
Multi-Domain Expertise
Since we have a highly talented team specializing in multiple domains. From software development for physicians to large DSOs, we know all about software development. It is, thus, highly helpful to design QA testing tools that seamlessly operate over different types of applications.
Experienced Hands
The team at BPK Tech consists mostly of engineers who have at least, five to ten years of experience. This experience covers various technologies like Agile, analytics, and app development for the cloud, desktop, and mobile. That, apart from being well-equipped with skill sets required for automated software testing and using the best QA automation tools.
Business Ethics
We do not force our clients to sign long-term contracts as we believe in the quality of our work for client retention rather than making legal bonds. Hence, our customers are free to change their minds anytime as they get to see the updates and progress on a regular basis.
Wrapping Up
Now, you have a basic understanding of what QA Automation is and how it helps in software development. We have also discussed BPK Tech’s QA automation techniques and it’s basic framework. If you want to know more, book a consultation call with us.
