Automated testing is an ideal way to increase the productivity of your testing teams by taking your time consuming manual regression test cases and automating them. With the growing trend of software development towards more agile methodologies, automated testing is also an imperative when trying to meet the increasing demands of the broader IT community within organisation, the business and key stakeholders.
While the benefits of automated testing can deliver significant ROI, JDS has observed many organisations struggling with their automation efforts for a variety of reasons. These include difficulties in managing a large number of automated tests, retention of knowledge surrounding the automated efforts, unstructured approaches to automation, and the trend towards both agile development and applications developed from composite web services.
Combining the automation capabilities of market leading tools (e.g. HP Unified Functional Testing) with your test management platform (e.g. HP Application Lifecycle Management), you can manage your automated test cases, schedule their execution, report on their results and track any associated defects arising from the testing.
Specialist technical skills are required to design and implement effective test automation and are often different than those typically found within most manual test teams, this is where JDS can help.
