Test Automation Services

What is Test Automation?

The practice of running tests automatically, managing test data, and using the results to enhance software quality is referred to as test automation. It is mainly a quality control assurance measure but requires the commitment of the entire software production team.

At Cumulations, we specialize in providing test automation services tailored to specific business needs. By leveraging our extensive experience and the latest technology, we create bespoke automation strategies.

How Does Test Automation Work?

Test automation involves the use of specialized software to control and monitor the execution of tests and compare the actual outcome with the expected results. This is how the test automation solution works:

1. Planning the Test :

   The first step is to plan the test cases that will be automated. Not all tests are suitable for automation, and hence, it is important to prioritize and choose the ones providing the most value.

2. Test Automation Tools:

   As already mentioned, test automation requires the use of specialized frameworks and tools. The test automation company chooses the tools according to the test requirements, technology stack, and available resources of the specific application. TestNG, Appium, and Selenium are some popular test automation tools.

3. Test Script Creation & Data Setup:

   Automation engineers create test scripts using the chosen automation tool. These scripts are primarily instructions specifying the actions that will be performed on the application under test. The scripts are written in Python, Java, and other scripting languages. Also, before running the tests, the test data must be set up, and this involves configuring application settings, preparing databases, or creating test data files.

4. Test Execution:

   When the test data and scripts are ready, the automated tests are executed.

5. Continuous Maintenance:

   Ongoing maintenance is one of the most essential components of test automation. Test scripts have to be updated as the application evolves so it accommodates changes in functionality and user interface.

6. Test Suite Management:

   Test suites and test cases are managed and organized within the automation tool. These are collections of related test cases that can be executed together.

So, this is how test automation works. When the test is executed, the test reveals a detailed report outlining the failure or errors encountered during the test. If you are launching a new application software, test automation solutions are a must so the application is bug-free.

Types of Automated Testing Cumulations Performs

• Functional Testing

  Functional testing checks the functioning of the software or app. It finds out whether the product is meeting specific requirements and meeting the users’ needs.

• Performance Testing

  Performance testing finds out how an app or software performs under different conditions and loads. This test helps in the identification of performance-related issues.

• Integration Testing

  Integration testing is carried out to ensure the app’s separate work modules function correctly after revising the code. Additionally, this test automation solution identifies communication glitches between the different application components.

• Compatibility Testing

  Automated tests are run on different browsers and devices simultaneously to check the compatibility of the software. This saves a lot of time and effort.

• Regression Testing

  Regression tests are a combination of non-functional and functional tests to check whether the software has regressed after a specific change. This test is run to ensure the software’s performance hasn’t been impacted.

• Data-driven Testing

  Each test case is run according to a set of data. This data is separately stored in a spreadsheet or table. Data-driven testing implies the use of the same set of data for multiple testing to save time and effort.

• Keyword-driven Testing

  A functional automation testing framework, keyword-driven testing involves using a spreadsheet or table to describe all the performed test functions. The test process uses human language to describe the application process. Testers build multiple scripts using relevant keywords and these scripts are reused.

• User interface Testing

  User interface testing involves checking the software’s user experience, which depends on the usability, functionality and the aesthetic quality of the user interface. The objective is to maintain an optimal user experience.

• Usability Testing

  Usability testing involves testing the software’s usability. It helps in identifying the issues related to the product’s accessibility and ease of experience. This testing process ensures the software product is easy to use.

• Security Testing

  Security testing involves testing the product’s security and identifying vulnerabilities that cybercriminals may exploit. Security testing is one of the most essential types of automation testing because it ensures the software is not vulnerable to attacks.
