DESIGN Setup Test Automations Test automation uses tools to maintain test data, execute tests, and analyze results to improve software quality. When executed well, it relieves much of the manual requirements of the testing lifecycle. Defined Outcomes Purpose ❏ Increased Testing Efficiency: Automate repetitive and time-consuming tests to speed up the testing process and reduce The purpose of test automation is to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, manual effort. and consistency of the software testing process by automating ❏ Enhanced Test Coverage: Achieve broader and more consistent test repetitive and time-consuming test cases. This enables more frequent coverage across various scenarios and edge cases. and thorough testing, leading to quicker identification of defects and ❏ Faster Feedback Loop: Provide immediate feedback on code changes through continuous integration, allowing for quicker ensuring the stability and reliability of the software. identification and resolution of defects. ❏ Improved Test Accuracy: Minimize human error and ensure Test automation supports continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) consistent execution of test cases, leading to more reliable test practices, allowing for immediate feedback on code changes and results. reducing the time to market. Additionally, it minimizes human error, ❏ Resource Optimization: Free up testers to focus on complex and allows testers to focus on more complex testing scenarios, and exploratory testing by automating routine tests. Salesforce Adoption Dashboards ❏ Scalability and Reusability: Develop reusable test scripts and ensures comprehensive test coverage, ultimately contributing to frameworks that can be easily scaled and adapted to accommodate higher software quality and faster development cycles. new features and changes in the application.
