Our Test Automation ROI approach goes above and beyond the traditional cost approach.

Test Automation ROI

Our approach also addresses the intangible benefits which includes ROI from a strategic and risk perspective.

Some factors include:

  1. Boost client staff morale and position IT as a strategic partner to business
  2. Improved quality of documentation and traceability of regression test execution activities
  3. Impact analysis testing of new features and its overall benefit
  4. Reduced time and effort when adding new features and cases
  5. Reusability of scripts for cross-functional IT activities (e.g. automation of production tasks such as database migration, monitoring of system availability, response time, etc.)

Our overall goal is to improve testability of the systems under test. Our testability philosophy for maximizing ROI, follows the ‘Heuristics of Software Testability’ framework[1].

  1. Controllability: The better we can control it, the more the testing can be automated and optimized.
  2. Observability: What you see is what can be tested.
  3. Availability: To test it, we have to get at it.
  4. Simplicity: The simpler it is, the less there is to test.
  5. Stability: The fewer the changes, the fewer the disruptions to testing.
  6. Information: The more information we have, the smarter we will test.

Our clients’ needs typically fall under three main categories:

  1. Test Automation using Commercial Tools
  2. Test Automation using Open Source Tools
  3. Test Automation using Customized Scripts
