Automation Impacts on Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery

Software testing itself is a vast area to be classified. Primarily, testing can be performed in two ways; either manually or automated testing. It is very crucial to decide when to choose manual or automation testing during software development to ensure quality meeting project constraints.

What is CI/CD?

It means continual integration of the code to the relevant branch of working project. It implies that "integration tests" are run at every code change while Continuous Delivery means that every change that passes tests are automatically deployed. Some organizations emphasize on automation and fully avoid manual testers. Others concentrate on automation testing but not allowing testers to get involved in test strategies.  Therefore, a moderate approach needs to be followed to take full advantage by Hire Tester for Automation Testing.

Advantages of manual over automation

It is impossible to test each and every scenario using automated tool. When an application or product is arrived for testing; testing team starts planning its software testing service life cycle activities. A number of test cases are created for the application beforehand to carry out the testing. Some test cases would be non-repetitive which might be complex and too costly to automate. There are other tests which are repetitive and are executed every time the build is received. It could be functionality that must be in a working condition at all times. Out of all those, the desired performance testing service which we want to automate are filtered.

Furthermore, only a fraction can be automated out of the planned ones because automation is time consuming and difficult task.  Apparently, it will not provide full assurance to the stakeholders in context of quality.

Increased Use of Banking & Financial Applications Raised The Demand of QA To A New Level

In today's era, BFSI industry has been revolutionized by the latest trends and digital initiatives like Mobile wallets, P2P Transfers, Ping pay, Omni Channel banking has digitally transformed the world. Banking domain involves intricate functionalities and a functional framework spread across Corporate banking, Centralized banking, Cards and payment gateways. For an application to succeed, there are various factors involved like, ease of access, performance, smooth and secure support. The financial applications possess multi-tier functionality to cater thousands of concurrent user sessions. Such applications are integrated with complex business workflows, Bill pay utility as they involve Real time transactions at a very high rate. Therefore, the transaction processor involves millions of transaction per second making it a complex system. Challenges faced by the BFSI Industry: 1. Multi-Channel approach: Everyone wants to make use of banking services anytime and anywhere that led to the origin of digital banks i.e. banks without branches. Providing users complete workflow or end to end functionality of a bank on the front-end of the mobile devices becomes a challenging task. 2. Plethora of devices: Wide range of devices are available having different platforms, operating systems, screen resolution etc. To read more, click original post - https://www.bugraptors.com/blog/growth-in-banking-financial-applications-increased-demand-of-qa/

Successful Actions Took After By QA Experts To Accelerate The Product Release Process

Software testing is a process of improving the quality of developed software by finding bugs during the whole software application development phase.

i) Production testing ensures less time to market: Testing in production is a significant way to check the performance of the software with real data. It helps in determining application’s performance in real time and determines how an application behaves in weak connections or network failure.

ii) Automation saves manual time: Test cases can be converted into test scripts(automated) during application development. This helps in increasing overall test coverage along with reducing the manual efforts. It also increases the Reusability of test scripts when the OS or device changes.

How to select the Test Management tool for Manual and Automated Testing?

Test Management is the process of tracking test cases, executing and documenting tests. A test management tool is used by QA teams and testers to manage manual or automated tests that were earlier designed by stakeholders or testers.

It allows us to define complex test scenarios and enable teams to test software against multiple configurations(for example, multiple operating system versions). Advanced tools also allow you to track milestones, provide ways to view statistics and to view detailed reports of recent test activity.
