    Manual testing has proven to be a time-consuming process, therefore, it is high time for businesses to embrace automation to help streamline and boost the testing processes.

    FREMONT, CA: Software failure causes 95 percent of companies to fear job security. Many opine that software failures have damaged their companies’ reputations. Despite these concerns, most CEOs feel it is good to release software that has not been sufficiently tested. Testers find that in many cases, software releases have not been adequately tested. Therefore, as the C-suite is unfamiliar with software testing processes, they are very familiar with the fallout when things go wrong. Software failures destroy revenues and company reputations, and they can even endanger lives.

    Manual Problem

    Reliance on manual tests slows development to the point that software gets released without sufficient testing. In terms of the prevalence of manual testing, a few companies use some automation, while others rely on manual testing. Manual testing is a critical issue as it is resource-heavy, time-consuming, and causes unsustainable delays. As a result, organisations are forced to make difficult choices such as cutting corners, not testing all their software appropriately, delaying the release until testing can be achieved, missing the market window, losing momentum, and sharing with competitors releasing their products earlier.

    The pandemic exacerbated this problem as it spurred a rapid increase in digital platforms, accelerating the necessity for digital transformation. This trend caused enormous pressure on the IT department, as teams had to identify a way to scale and offer the digital services customers needed with minimal resources. Those resources were expanded by the great resignation as many people reconsidered their career options following the pandemic-related uncertainty and upheaval.

    Skills and Scale

    Highly skilled workers are in high demand, giving software developers and testers numerous opportunities to find higher-paying jobs that meet their career objectives. Therefore, IT and software development teams find themselves short-handed and struggling to offer high-quality software at a pace meeting demands. The expected solution to these problems lies in test automation. This offers a way to reduce manual involvement, test greater volumes, eliminate human error risks, and accelerate time to market for competitive advantages.

    Despite this, organisations have rolled out automated testing and discovered that a significant problem remains. They are unable to scale these solutions as professional-grade coding skills are required. Although they are marketed as low-code, they are too complex for business users. Even testers often lack the coding skills to organise tests on their own.

    As a result, coding skills remain a resource, slowing down the testing process and limiting collaboration with business users. As automated testing becomes more pervasive throughout organisations, the maintenance workload increases. Test engineers hired by organisations to implement an automation framework increasingly spend their time maintaining code rather than building bigger and smarter test scopes, and scaling becomes impossible.
