Automation Testing Challenges for Manual Testers
With ever-growing importance of Automation Testing, more and more companies are increasingly looking forward to adapt it. Manual Test engineers spend a lot of energy to find maximum number of defects before the product releases, but the defects still appear. If automation testing is rightly implemented, increased efficiency, effectiveness and coverage of software testing can be achieved.
Companies that have been performing manual testing using a large workforce of manual test engineers are showing a great interest in automation testing, which is providing many advantages majorly in terms of time, and effort. However, many companies are not able to adopt it because of many constraints like not able to identify right tool, and tight budget.
If testing is not performed properly it can lead to an inadequate product quality, and increased overall testing costs. Automation has the ability to mitigate slow, repetitive, and error-prone testing activities and allow testers to focus on the areas where defects can be identified more. Many companies want to use their long time manual testers to implement automation testing.
The reason is that companies might have come to know that their testers have gained vast amount knowledge about applications and their features or components. They might have realized this knowledge is highly important for testing more quickly. Moreover, budget might be one of the reasons that they cannot pay high remuneration to the automation testers. Also, it might be difficult for the companies following manual testing practices for a long time quickly adopt and implement automation testing practices. More importantly, companies cannot provide sufficient time for their manual testers to reap required knowledge because of tight delivery deadlines. And the major challenge to perform automation testing is to have a right automated software testing tool, and to effectively use it, right testing resources are required.
Some of the Challenges for Manual Testers to do Test Automation such as, they need to spend a lot of in learning programming languages for Automation, Automation is like development, Automation tools might require customization, one need to maintain automated tests, sprint wise automation test maintenance is difficult, maintenance of multiple teams and more.
Some of the advantages which Automation Testing provides such as, reduced time and effort of repeatable tests, execution of scripts at any time, ideal for large and complicated projects, reliable and provides consistency, improves test coverage, improves application quality, and accelerates time to market. With a large number of automation tools available in the market, it is imperative for the companies to identify a right tool which can be easily used by subject matter experts, business analysts, and manual test engineers with minimal or no technical training.
Many organizations that perform software testing using manual testers are increasingly attracted to automation testing. Register for a free webinar now!
