Our take on quality assurance: At the heart of our philosophy Is the belief that quality should be the cornerstone of every product, every project, and every partnership we enter into.
The Power of Test Automation
Integrating test automation into your existing testing strategy can significantly enhance product quality and accelerate time-to-market. The benefits of test automation include:
Elevating product quality
Extending testing coverage
Lowering business expenses
Shortening product's time-to-market
Integration of Test Automation: Key Advantages
Reduction in Production Bugs
Production bugs can be costly and tarnish your product's reputation among end users. Detect defects early in your software's development lifecycle by running a series of automated scripts.
​
Improved accuracy
Automated tests ensure consistent results, making it easy to record the same outcomes repeatedly.
Enhanced Test Coverage
Test automation facilitates the simultaneous execution of a larger number of test cases. The improved test coverage bolsters the likelihood of detecting issues in both developing code and existing production code.
Faster Releases
Test automation allows continuous testing and validation of newly developed features. This significantly shortens the feedback and testing cycle, enabling faster product releases.
Reusability of Test Cases
Building your automation framework might require some initial effort. But with proper implementation, you'll be able to reuse test suites and specific test cases for various use cases or projects.
​
Eliminate Human Error
Despite their skills, manual testers are prone to errors due to fatigue and inadvertent oversights. Introducing a robust automation framework minimizes these errors.
Our Automation Process at STS
Our process ensures that the framework built for you is comprehensively designed to support your product. It includes:
Phase | Description | |
|---|---|---|
1 | Scope Definition | We assist in determining the reach of automation for your system or project through defining what tasks and processes can be automated. |
2 | Tool Suggestion | We examine and share with you various automation tools that enhance both efficiency and accuracy in your workflow processes.
|
3 | Tool & Framework Alignment | Once the tool and strategy that aligns most closely with your company's needs has been chosen, we initiate documentation and implementation. |
4 | Identifying Test Environments & Infrastructure | We collaborate with you to select the appropriate test environments and infrastructure that are in line with your company's objectives and goals. |
5 | Integrating the latest emerging technological tools | We provide a list of recommendations on incorporating cutting-edge test management tools to monitor your test outcomes, as well as the tools for tracking your projects and defects. |
6 | Determining the scope of tests | We work in tandem with product and QA analysts to establish the necessary test scope for automating both current and newly developed features. |
7 | Scripting Setup and Execution | We initiate the process by creating test cases, constructing test suites, then executing and analyzing the scripts. |
8 | Test Execution analysis and reporting | We assess the test outcomes, investigate, and document any inconsistencies to guarantee that the software products have exceptional quality and fulfill the requirements of end-users. |
9 | Monitoring, maintaining and repeat | We keep a watchful eye on and upkeep your automated framework to streamline operations and maximize efficiency. By consistently repeating the process, potential problems are proactively addressed and opportunities for growth are identified. |

What makes functional testing an integral part of software development?Functional testing is an integral part of software development as it ensures that the software performs its intended functions correctly, meeting user requirements. This leads to improved user satisfaction, product quality, and lower maintenance costs.
-
How does your functional testing process align with Agile methodologies?Our functional testing process aligns with Agile methodologies by facilitating regular and thorough testing during each sprint. This allows us to ensure the functionality of new features and improvements while enabling us to adapt to changes rapidly.
-
What types of defects can functional testing identify and help rectify?Functional testing can identify a wide variety of defects, such as user interface functionality issues, problems with software functions, errors in data handling, and inaccuracies in the implementation of business logic or rules.
-
What tools and technologies are used in your functional testing services?We employ a variety of tools for functional testing including Selenium, JIRA, QuickTest Professional (QTP), and TestComplete. These tools automate the process of functional testing, improving efficiency and accuracy.
-
How does your functional testing process ensure that the software aligns with the specified requirements?Our functional testing process verifies and validates each function of the software application against the specified requirements. By comparing actual functionality with expected outputs for given inputs, we ensure that the software meets the desired criteria.
