Regression testing is an essential activity in ensuring that security problems are not introduced or uncovered as a result of changes. Test Automation makes a perfect fit for regression testing projects, where you need to test the same functionality over and over again to make sure that the results are exactly the same. You can save hours and hours of testing and valuable resources at a click of a button.
The reality today
Most organizations who have made an investment in test automation tools, were able to automate only the 20-30% of their business processes and from such low percentage you cannot identify what is the impact and what should be tested. The challenges organizations face in automating their entire portfolio of business processes is firstly, the breaking down and documenting the business processes and their permutations, secondly, considering the dynamic environment, maintaining the automated scripts in the long run, and thirdly the skills required to transform a documented business process into automated script.
Based on the above challenges, most companies will choose to automate the most critical processes for their organization, and approximately the 70% of the businesses processes will continue to be tested manually.
Build your regression test packs using a model, risk-based approach
Validata has automated the impact analysis process and through the automated scripts it can automatically generate, it focuses your efforts on what to test and what scenario to test it with. By automatically capturing in detail how the end user uses the system as well as the test results for future reference, it reduces the disruption to the business and aligns Business and IT teams.
Validata’s model-based approach enables the automatic generation of test cases, eliminates the high cost of maintenance of traditional script-based test automation, and also reduces redundant testing efforts with lower costs and faster time-to-value.
The test pack will be executed against the different components so risk assessment and risk registration is an essential part of the process.
The above approach provides flexibility and easy maintenance against changes. Using our methodology we keep the test cases independent from environment - logical - changes e.g. Rates changes (which happens daily), which can lead to incompatibility and failures (problems appearing in traditional approaches).
Validata provides real-time project progress monitoring through actionable dashboards so you always know if you are ahead or behind schedule how many defects are identified and how much is yet to be tested for the completion of the project.
