Unlocking efficiency with robot aided software testing
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring software quality is paramount. Enter Robot Aided Software Testing (RAST) is a method designed to elevate your testing experience. This innovative approach combines the precision of robotics with human-like capabilities, creating a testing process that is both efficient and effective.
What is robot aided software testing?
Imagine a robot that embodies the characteristics of a real end user. Its dexterous fingers mimic human actions—touching, pinching, rotating, and pressing—allowing for comprehensive interaction with various devices. Whether working with touch screens or hard buttons, this technology proves its versatility, demonstrating effectiveness across industrial devices.
This robot doesn’t just stop at physical interactions. It can listen to and generate voice commands, making it suitable for diverse applications. Equipped with high-speed cameras, it acts as the eyes of your testing environment, capturing images and measuring response times with better accuracy than a human tester. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates into your software test automation strategy, enhancing overall testing performance.
Benefits of robot aided software testing
- Easy and worry-free managed testing service
Companies often face challenges in managing their in-house testing teams, especially when dealing with fluctuating project demands. If testing is done periodically, a human tester may need time to re-familiarize themselves with the testing process, even if it’s the same individual. RAST alleviates these concerns by providing a comprehensive solution that ensures hassle-free quality testing, as a robot can precisely recall previous tests and quickly adapt to changes. - Cost-efficient release testing
In a competitive market, the cost of software testing can significantly impact on a company’s bottom line. RAST offers a cost-efficient solution for release candidate testing, allowing businesses to optimize their testing budgets without compromising quality. By automating repetitive and time-consuming testing tasks, organizations can reduce the need for extensive manual testing, which is often resource-intensive and prone to human error. - Excellent visibility on test status and existing issues
Transparency is key in effective software testing, and RAST excels in providing thorough visibility into test status and existing issues. With RAST, stakeholders can easily access real-time reports and dashboards that highlight the progress of testing activities, test coverage, and any identified defects – both on high level perspective and in detailed videos of the failing testcases.
How to get started
Getting started with RAST is straightforward. First, we collaborate to create a comprehensive testing and test automation plan. Next, our team designs and builds the necessary robot setup tailored to your device(s). We also develop test automation scripts and adjust the test report template to meet your needs.
If required, we can establish or integrate existing CI/CD pipelines to streamline your processes further. Once everything is in place, we run the test plans on selected cycles, ensuring thorough and effective testing.
