Three QA Automation tests to get strong Software Development Products

Calculate the right combination of Manual QA and QA Automation is the secret sauce to go live with a strong software product while keeping costs under control.

If your team is actually growing in Manual testing and you are exploring to go into QA Automation, this post will be useful for you.

After realizing you need QA Automation is hard to know which tests and how much effort demands a comprehensive QA Program.

What about the timing and benefits of QA Automation? take a look at my article When is the right time to start QA Automation?”

These are the Automated Tests you will need to adopt with hints for each case.

How can I put all the tests together?

In the path of building a comprehensive QA Program to cover well-known tests, everything starts aligning your current Manual QA practice with the upcoming QA Automation efforts:

• Automation of Regression Testing, Smoke Testing, and Data-Driven Testing takes Test matrixes and Manual test cases as inputs for coding equivalent Automated test cases.
• Load & Performance Testing takes coded Automated test cases to be repeated in those areas with the higher potential of bottlenecks.
• It’s healthy to run all the tests. However, the percentage of Manual tests, Automated Tests and Performance tests in your QA Program vary from one application to the other, depending on the business-specific needs:
  • For example, most MVPs will need lots of manual testing and no automation while when making a new function for a stable core application, your major efforts will be probably addressed to Load & Performance Testing.

In the end, it is always good to count on a specialized partner to give you a hand on QA planning and execution.
