Testing Android apps can be extremely time-consuming, especially when testing them manually. There are multiple ways to automate testing, including TestNG and UFT, but one of the most promising approaches is Test Automation with Appium and Robotium (or Calabash on iOS). This article covered the basics of UI automation in general and the benefits of automated UI testing. Let’s dive right in!
It is a process of checking whether user interface (UI) elements are displayed correctly. UI testing encompasses both automatic and manual techniques for interactive software testing. Unit tests are normally easy to write, but they are hard to maintain when you start having lots of business logic in them. On the other hand, writing an automated test requires expertise in automation which isn’t easily available with most testers.
There are many kinds of types of test automation.
Functional testing assesses the software against the set functional requirements/specifications. It concentrates on what the application can do and is mostly black-box testing.
Unit testing is the process of testing individual elements or functions on their own to ensure that they work according to the specifications. It typically happens in an application’s development phase and is often the initial type of automated testing performed within an application.
Integration testing is testing all the software components in a single. It is focused on determining whether the entire system meets the functional specifications.
Also referred to as “Build Testing” and “Confidence Testing,” smoke testing is a simple set of tests designed to test the reliability and stability of the build used to deploy the software.
The testing includes testing all non-functional components like usability, reliability, performance, and more.
Performance testing is testing the speed, stability, and responsiveness under load.
Regression testing can be described as the type of testing that falls in maintenance testing.
Automated testing can bring many advantages in Agile Software Development. Here are some:
The Global Quality Report proves that over 60% of businesses can now spot bugs earlier due to the increase in testing coverage with test automation. Furthermore, 57 percent of respondents reported an improvement in the number of test scenarios by implementing automation.
The mobile app development industry is quite popular among app developers and testers to create automated scripts for testing their mobile applications. In the case of mobile application testing automation, scripting becomes a preferable option over manual testing by any professional tester or developer. With scripted test cases, you can have more control over your application. You get rid of excess time consumption & human errors associated with manual testing and thus ensure high-quality software is developed in a shorter time.
