Benefits of automated testing
1. ROI (Return of Invetsment)
• Let’s start from the beginning:
the initially big investment.
This may be a hold back for many,
but it is proven that the return of
that investment is a long-term one
and it will also save time.
2. RUNNING TESTS 24/7:
• No matter where you are in the world.
You can start the tests when you leave
the office and when you get back in the
morning you can see the results and keep on working.
You can even do that remotely if you don’t
have a lot of devices or you don’t
have the possibility to buy them.
3. FEWER HUMAN RESOURCES.
• You don’t need a lot of people:
you would need a test automation engineer
to write your scripts to automate your tests,
instead of a lot of people doing
boring manual tests over and over again.
4. REUSABILITY.
• The scripts are reusable:
o You don’t need new scripts all the time,
even if the version of the OS on the
device changes It allows you to redo
the test exactly the same, without
forgetting any steps
5. BUGS:
• Automation helps you find bugs in the
early stages of software development,
reducing expenses and working hours
to fix these problems as well.
6. RELIABILITY:
• Automated testing is more reliable and
way quicker when running boring repetitive
standardized tests which can not be skipped,
ever, but may cause errors when manually tested.
7. SIMULTANEITY:
• You can test more devices simultaneously
resulting in comparative detailed reports
generated in less time with the exact the
same parameters, because the exact
same scripts were run.
8. CONTINUITY:
• Automated testing helps testers,
such as automation engineers.
They can see exactly what other engineers
have done, what scripts he has already
written and what tests have already been
performed and what bugs were already found
and fixed, through clear reports.
9. ADDITIONAL METHODS:
• One of the these methods is the stress test
in which the capacities of the application and
operational infrastructure will be tested to
it’s limits with stress test,
which can’t be done manually.
10. VOLUME:
• Automated testing allows to run tests
on thousands of mobile devices
Testing all of them manually would be impossible!
