Commercial and Open Source tools tend to address frequently occurring test requirements across verticals. But each enterprise has a set of unique requirements that need to be addressed to enable business logic into the IT system. The shelf-life of the application/IT system can be enhanced by a carefully crafted test strategy that leverages the combination of open source tools, commercial tools and point solutions with a robust test automation network.
To accommodate the increasing volume of data, enterprises demand flexible, reusable and scalable components in Test frameworks. The accommodation then has to blend the business logic into testing process. To achieve the right balance between cost management and ROI, enterprises can leverage a test strategy that ensures careful deployment of commercial test tools.
As enterprises adopt SOAs and newer forms of APIs, Software testing frameworks need to be have pluggable and architecture free components for rapid deployment. The changing deployment strategies pose new challenges to Software testers from Systems integration to Web services validation. The ability to enable reusable and scalable test frameworks that are customized is crucial to enhance the enterprise’s business environment.
Software Testing has transcended beyond the role of a prerelease process. As stakeholders from Marketing and Business Development teams give inputs on appealing UI environments, testing needs to translate technology services into business solutions.
In-house test departments require investments in test infrastructure and resources which add on to the costs and efforts. These investments tend to become redundant with the emergence of new requirements and business scenarios. The solution lies in having an independent software testing partner with strong test engineering foundations backed by point solutions for existing and emerging test requirements.
As enterprise apps and consumer grade apps are being redefined by the requirements of UI, developers need the freedom to explore with the confidence of having an intelligent testing partner.
To meet the unique requirements testing has to overlap the processes that connect the hardware, network, software, data and UI. The differentiation lies in the ability to have a quick view of the overall test status along with a pin point report of the singled out defect as per priority. This helps enterprises have a 24/7 test suite that helps them identify issues and resolve them with minimum loss of time.
The knowledge of the tool usage across verticals and the advantages of strategic deployment go a long way in reducing test costs. To achieve this balance the tester has to build a bridge between the tools and the client’s requirements. A specific tool set or framework that blends with evolving architectures and enables multiple plug ins will help clients meet upcoming test requirements as well.
Scenarios of transformation from legacy systems to futuristic technologies will demand new age testing. The tool selection and the test design have to incorporate the business logic to arrive at the best solution and integrate with the business environment. This will include the maintenance of the STLC, time to market, feature validation with upgraded versions.
Being an Independent Software Testing Services Company, Cigniti offers superior software testing services that address existing and emerging test requirements by incorporating business logic.
