Automated Testing is hitting the verge of popularity. But does it actually suit your business? In this guide, you’ll learn about the key benefits and software testing types that should be automated.

AUTOMATION TESTING
AND WHY YOUR
COMPANY SHOULD
USE IT

3. AUTOMATED TESTING IS
HITTING THE VERGE OF
POPULARITY. BUT DOES
IT ACTUALLY SUIT YOUR
BUSINESS?

4. 86%
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
AUTOMATED TESTING?
4 out of 5 surveyed companies
reported the tangible benefits of
automation testing in multiple
areas (86%), with the majority of
respondents specifically
highlighting 3 to 6 areas with the
highest impact.

5. Automated testing cuts down
the time to run repetitive tests
from days to just a few hours.
After all less time spent =
smaller development bill to foot.
Additionally, you don’t need to
keep a dedicated manual testing
team to handle QA. One
automated testing engineer can
have you covered at all times.
IMPROVED STAFF
PERFORMANCE AND
TIME SAVINGS

6. Automated testing increases the
depth and scope of tests to spot
even the smallest
imperfections.
Automated test cases not only
offer a larger test coverage
compared to manual tests, but
allow faster deployment of new
features to users due to the
super-sonic speed and efficiency
of the entire process.
EARLIER BUGS
IDENTIFICATIONS
BEFORE THE USERS
ARE IMPACTED

7. Take human factor into account
for manual testing. Even the
most skillful professionals may
make mistakes during the
monotonous work.
Automated tests perform the
very same steps with all the
results being recorded for
further review. As a result, your
testing team has more time to
deal with complex features and
improve automated test cases.
IMPROVED TEST
RESULTS ACCURACY

8. Last, but definitely not least –
transferring repetitive tasks to
scripts gives your team more
time to focus on more
interesting and challenging
work. They can focus on
improving their skills and
confidence, instead of dealing
with the same day-by-day
monotonous manual testing
chores.
YOUR TEAM IS
HAPPIER

9. 8 TYPES OF SOFTWARE
TESTING THAT SHOULD BE
AUTOMATED
So, what can you automate within your testing
framework?

10. The major benefits of automated regression testing are that your
team can re-run testing scenarios over and over again without
any hassle to ensure that the new changes made did not result
into a regression, or caused previously functional components to
fail.
Here’s what’s included in automated regression testing toolkit:
1. Solex
2. TestComplete
3. QA Wizard Pro
REGRESSION
TESTING

11. This practice encourages developers to write cleaner code based
on the initial assurance obtained after the initial test and
refactoring the original code.
Best tools to use are:
1. Jtest
2. JUnit
UNIT TESTING

12. The definitive advantages of
automated testing in this case are
the multiple load and performance
tests you can run simultaneously
from different devices. You can
emulate as many users as possible
to ensure the final product is
absolutely stable and can handle
whatever is coming for it!
At Romexsoft, high-load applications
are our particular specialty and we
use the following automated tools to
reach the top results:
1. Jenkins
2. JMeter
LOAD AND
PERFORMANCE
TESTING

13. In a nutshell, functional testing deals
with your applications relations
between the users and the rest of the
system. This approach tests only
what the application does as a whole
opposed to the unit tests that cover
only what certain application
segment does and how it does that.
And here are the good tools for that:
1. Selenium WebDriver
2. Ranorex
3. SoapUI
FUNCTIONAL
TESTING

14. The issue with GUI testing is that even
seemingly small applications have
multiple operations that need to be
tested. For instance,a simple desktop
application like Microsoft WordPad
has 325 possible GUI operations.
GUI
FUNCTIONAL
TESTING
Automated UI testing in this case is lifesaving as the whole process
may take weeks for a manual team. The go-to tools are:
1. Selenium WebDriver
2. Ranorex
3. TestComplete

15. SMOKE TESTING
Smoke tests are often an integral part of
BDD (Behavior-Driven Development)
environment as they allow easily tracing
back to the exact kind of behavior we
want to see within an app. This
approach to testing saves you a ton of
time and efforts by uncovering early
obvious bugs.
These are perfect for scheduling such
tests:
1. Selenium WebDriver
2. Bamboo
3. Cargo
4. TestingNG

16. ACCEPTANCE TESTING
Acceptance testing is commonly used in BDD to verify that the set
requirement (story) is complete. As customer, that’s your way to
ensure that no original requirements have been changed during
the project scope and everything was done as planned.
The tools worth using for automated acceptance testing are:
1. Cucumber
2. FitNesse
3. Selenium
4. Ranorex
