RFTS™ Keyword Test Automation

UNCOMPLICATE AUTOMATION.

Fact
Automating tests is much harder than the brochures and marketing would have you believe. In fact, only 15% of test automation initiatives are successful! But successful efforts can improve software quality and significantly speed up time-to-market at 1/3 the cost of manual testing.

Much of the blame for test automation's high failure rate is attributable to the extensive implementation effort, time, and energy required to deploy most test automation technologies. Organizations go into test automation thinking that they are implementing easy-to-use point tools that testers can start using immediately. Instead, they run into complexity.

There are four major barriers to test automation success:

1. Detailed tests (much more granular than typical human-executed tests) need to be manually created before test automation starts - and manual tests only cover 50% of business functionality.
2. Writing automation scripts is difficult and expensive; in many ways similar to learning to write application programs.
3. Maintenance can be expensive: when your application changes, your tests and scripts have to be modified too.
4. Time-to-market can be severely impacted since you have to wait for application code to be complete before you start creating automated tests.
