Structure as a prerequisite
Consistently high testing quality, relief of test staff from routine work and cost and time savings are all important arguments for automating software tests.
It is undisputed that automation is virtually a must, especially for regression tests. The important thing is to automate correctly.
Critical success factors include:
- The choice of an appropriate test tool
- Transferring business test cases into automated test cases
- Qualifications of the test automation experts
The prerequisite for successful automation is a structured test process. Anyone who has tested exploratively is well advised to take the intermediate step of systematization when working towards automation: The degree of automation can only be estimated with the help of structured test cases. At the same time, the latter are an essential basis for automation itself.
