Automated Testing Tools and Their Impact on Software Quality

Test automation refers to using specialized software tools and frameworks to automate the execution of test cases, thereby reducing the time and effort required for manual testing. This approach ensures that automation tests run quickly and consistently, allowing development teams to identify and resolve defects more effectively.
Test automation provides greater accuracy by eliminating human error. It also increases testing coverage and speeds up the quality control process through parallel testing. The McKinsey & Company study found that businesses implementing smart quality approaches have reduced overall quality costs by up to 50%.

The Impact of Test Automation on Software Quality

Software systems have become highly complex now, with multiple interconnected components, diverse user interfaces, and business logic. To ensure quality, QA engineers thoroughly test these systems through either automated or manual testing.

At Testlum, we met many software development teams who were pressured to deliver new features and updates at a faster pace. The manual testing didn’t let them keep up with the increased frequency of releases, resulting in too many bugs with the code. In turn, automation with the right testing tools helped them resolve all the problems fast and fix defects early.

Also, we’ll focus on the benefits of automation testing, effective tools, and ways to measure success. But first, let’s ensure we’re on the same page regarding the basics.

Overcoming the Obstacles to AI Adoption

The power of AI combined with suitable use cases and a robust implementation plan can help businesses to radically reduce the time spent on manual, repetitive tasks, and allow teams to prioritise value-added work.

But in all the excitement, it’s evident that many businesses are held back by inertia, and a lack of understanding about how to actually go ahead and implement AI into their business.

Deep learning: administer the vaccine before the infection takes hold

Staying at the bleeding edge of innovation is the only way to outpace attackers. However, most organizations are settling for a mitigation approach to cybersecurity which only engages once the adversaries have breached the perimeter. Attacks then need to run before they’re picked up and checked to see if they’re malicious, sometimes taking as long as 60 seconds. When dealing with an unknown threat, 60 seconds is too long to wait for analysis. A prevention approach is far more effective, explains Brooks Wallace, VP EMEA at Deep Instinct, as it operates on the basis that the attackers are not permitted to come within arm’s length of the network perimeter. And at the centre of this approach is deep learning.
