Low code test automation opens quality culture

 Devops World Secretly changed the focus to solve important challenges: Allows the software team to innovate quickly while meeting high customer expectations. In other words, to build things that are useful faster with fewer mistakes. These tensions have grown for many years, but 2020 added the challenges of long-distance work and the acceleration of digital transformations with further interference caused by Cloud, SaaS and Devox. In 2021, we needed a road map to take testing automation to the next level with quality engineering, a discipline that combines best practices and testing driven by data into end-to-end customer experience and encourages organizational growth.

Rethink the quality process for the Era DevOps

Traditional quality engineering (QE) does not have the tools needed to compensate for digital transformation. Many QE teams struggle with fragile and fragile automation frameworks and slow manual testing that creates serious obstacles for the adoption of devops. While developments are increasing, QE is left with different or obsolete workflows and equipment.

Increasing the challenges and opportunities presented by DEVOPS and digital transformation will require innovation in our approach to quality. More than ever, we need to divert our focus from quality assurance as a task you make late in the life cycle of software development (SDLC) that supports quality engineering practices throughout the life cycle. It starts with extensive and effective test coverage - starting when your developer works on a local branch and continues until the high-quality customer experience is confirmed in production throughout the application area - web, fire, pdf, email, pdf or vice versa. It's also very deep; You evaluate all aspects of quality, ensure that you meet the requirements related to functional truth, accessibility, performance, user experience, and others.

Low code test automation opens quality culture

With low code testing, it is truly effective at the fingertips of each role, from manual testers to developers, automation engineers, product owners and customer support. Requires all of these roles to develop special programming skills that are impractical, so that low-coded tools function to democratize quality engineering by allowing everyone to participate in the writer's test, update the test, and get insight into test results.

Low code testing brings several advantages to quality engineering, especially in the transition from manual testing to automatic testing. While traditionally this process will create large disruptions, the low code platform smoothes the road. In their IT automation predictions for 2021, Gartner hopes that in 2024, the increase in automation capacity will focus 30% of IT operating efforts from support for continuous techniques. For the manual testing team, the change is likely to trigger changes in talent and long process of pilot projects, retraining, and gradual launches. Low code is the key to managing this shift, workers uphill and ensure quality throughout.

Modern automation solutions embrace fast change

The main challenge with traditional test automation tools is that they are designed for applications that often change and intended only to validate the code. They rely on static voters to identify page elements. If voter (say, ID) changes or object (xpath) is moved on your web page, then your test fails. As more companies accelerate development through devops, agile and CI / CD, test maintenance loads produce the same barriers as manual testing.

2020 is the year breakout for low code test automation. A new solution, easy to use exceed the ability of the old framework that has dominated this sector. This solution combines machine learning, analysis of other advanced data and technology to greatly reduce test maintenance loads and overcome the challenges of the calm test of the old framework.
