This step is correct, but it should not be the first.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Service application for automation testing is a software verification process that involves performing functions and steps such as startup, initialization, execution, analysis, and output automatically through the use of tools.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>From the very beginning, you need to decide for what it is worth implementing automation and to what extent.

Product Strategy\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cp>First of all, it is your product strategy that should determine the approach to test automation.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>If the fruit of your work is a product that should bring the company or one customer the main income, then in this case it is worth paying more attention not to the release time, but to the quality of the product itself and the search for all possible defects.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1hr-1.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1hr-1.jpeg\" width=\"300\" / alt=\"Automation Testing Plan: The Main Stages\" loading=\"lazy\">\u003C/picture>If you have a slightly different goal, for example, you are working on an application prototype, and you need to get feedback from the target audience as soon as possible, then you need to release this product to the masses as soon as possible in order to find out and see the reaction of the target audience to it.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In two cases, the approach to automation will be different, which means the cost of its implementation will also be different. Let’s talk about this now.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch3>2. Cost of Implementation\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cp>To determine the cost of automation, it is important to know all the stages of a test automation implementation project:\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 1: Determine the scope of automation;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 2: Selecting the right products;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 3: Implementation of the framework;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 4: Deploy and configure the environment;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 5: Development and debugging of autotests;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 6: Execution of tests and analysis of results;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 7: Updating autotests;\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Stage 8: Assess the effectiveness of automation.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The future automation solution depends on how much time you can devote to each stage.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1hr-2.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1hr-2.jpeg\" width=\"300\" / alt=\"Automation Testing Plan: The Main Stages\" loading=\"lazy\">\u003C/picture>You can also follow the advice of Brian Marik, author of When Tests Should Be Automated? (‘When should a test be automated?)\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>“The cost of automating a test can best be measured by the number of manual tests you just don’t have to run and the bugs you never run into.”\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch3>3. Prioritizing Product Functionality\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cp>As a rule, labor-intensive regression testing is automated first. Further, it is determined which functionality is the main one. After all, the performance of the solution will depend on its quality.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The test automation process is the intellectual creativity of highly qualified IT specialists, but in order to achieve the set goals, it also needs to be carried out systematically. At each stage, experts choose the correct testing strategy when checking the quality of the investigated product. The use of automation tools for software testing is relevant in the following cases:\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>    Writing to the database\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>    logging files\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>    backend processes\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>These are the places in the system that are most difficult to access.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1ud-19.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-13/1ud-19.jpeg\" width=\"300\" / alt=\"Automation Testing Plan: The Main Stages\" loading=\"lazy\">\u003C/picture>Functionality is often used that has a high level of risk for errors. By automating critical functionality through testing, it is guaranteed that bugs are found quickly.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Automated testing is effective for routine operations. For example, forms that have a large number of fields for a dataset (iteration over data). The test process allows you to automatically fill in the fields, as well as check them after saving.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>This type of testing allows you to automate the process of filling in the fields with incorrect data, to check various validations.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>    Long scripts (end-to-end).\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>    Testing data that requires accurate mathematical calculations.\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>    To automate the correctness of data retrieval.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>Other\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/4-best-practices-for-secure-software-development\"> software\u003C/a> products are subject to automatic testing depending on the customer’s requirements and capabilities of the tool. The development of separate automation test cases makes the testing process more efficient. By creating initial conditions that have minimal impact on other tests, you can use scripts that can return the system to its original state. When tested with this functionality, the automation is maximized.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nJoin us on social media!\u003Cbr />\nSee you!\u003C/p>","automation-testing-plan-the-main-stages","2023-07-18T10:54:41.000000Z","2023-07-18T10:30:00.000000Z","18.07.2023",{"image":81,"image_webp":82,"thumb":83,"thumb_webp":84},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/iZ594pKaOtUI53SCT4oHwsubxjZSxh21QcvBZ7nz.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/iZ594pKaOtUI53SCT4oHwsubxjZSxh21QcvBZ7nz.webp","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/iZ594pKaOtUI53SCT4oHwsubxjZSxh21QcvBZ7nz.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/iZ594pKaOtUI53SCT4oHwsubxjZSxh21QcvBZ7nz.webp","large",null,1534,0,"en",1,{"id":69,"title":65,"slug":66,"meta_title":92,"meta_description":93,"meta_keywords":94,"deleted_at":86,"created_at":95,"updated_at":96,"lang":89},"Quasa Media - Growth Hacking in Business","Business is a battlefield.
