Maintaining a top-notch product is critical to staying in business. End users expect the very best and when the competition is very high, it’s product quality that separates the ties. Testing is a very important phase in the development process. It makes sure that all problems and errors are in check and your product is functioning properly. For small tasks, testing is done manually, because it’s quick and easy, but for medium-sized and serious products it becomes an issue. This is where automated testing comes in.
Definition by Techopedia:
Automated testing or test automation is a method in software testing that makes use of special software tools to control the execution of tests and then compares actual test results with predicted or expected results. All of this is done automatically with little or no intervention from the test engineer. Automation is used to add additional testing that may be too difficult to perform manually.
Automated Tests Visualization
For easier management, we provide Automated Tests Visualization to non-technical product managers. SEO teams can benefit from these as testing ensures that meta tags, headings, and content is all there.
For example, monitoring a sales flow in all of its steps guarantees that all the Customer Journey Map is covered, the right design is used, all the buttons are clickable, and all other user interactions happen flawlessly.
In the picture, the second test shows a failure, which means a user could not proceed to the next page, and you should take action and investigate the problem.
