Time for Test Automation to earn its keep

Endava’s Test Automation Services typically save an organisation 60-80% against manual testing with elapsed time plummeting from weeks to

hours. But, whilst impressive, cost and time are only one part of the story. Some organisations invest in test automation software and then

find they are unable to make use of it.

Pushing up costs with no benefit. Or test only at the GUI level due to lack of technical expertise, leaving bugs beneath which come back to bite

later in the lifecycle, clearly a false economy. With Endava’s Test Automation Services, costs and time are significantly reduced, with quality,

flexibility, overall project performance and final product quality all increasing. The outcome of this is more effective projects, faster time to

market, greater confidence from the business and a strong business case.

In recognition of the popularity of Agile development, PTM also defines how testing can be integrated into an Agile development environment

to provide the rigor necessary for regular, iterative releases

Common Issues

We find a number of common issues which our clients have experienced: the

automated pack is fragile, takes too much time to automate, too much

maintenance effort is required, they can’t automate until GUI is complete, there

is little or no test automation at the development stage, automated test cycles

are too slow, it is too hard to test against specific areas and there is poor

transparency of test coverage. A lot of challenges.

However, Endava Test Automation solves these issues with a modular design

using an engineering approach, a framework which accelerates test creation,

abstraction to reduce maintenance costs, a non GUI test framework to enable

automated tests of specific components and interfaces during development,

tests which are linked to continuous integration, a design which minimises

dependencies between tests and, finally, automated coverage reporting.

The benefits are numerous:

Early defect detection

Robust automation pack and increased re-use

Reduced test creation time and effort

Reduced maintenance

Automation across the architecture

Automation from development to production

Faster more frequent feedback

Ability to focus testing

Improved transparency of coverage and quality

Faster time to market

At Endava we have developed a demo which can show you the major

benefits of our Test Automation Services.
