Automated Testing Trends and The Challenges:
Automated testing is mentioned in this era more and more frequently. According to researchandmarket.com, The global automation testing market size is predicted to grow from USD 12.6 billion in 2019 to USD 28.8 billion by 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.0% during the forecast period.
However, automation testing still face many challenges, some major challenges for using automation can be listed as:
- Test flakiness: Flaky tests occur due to many factors, including poorly written scripts, concurrency, async wait, test order dependency, etc. There is no ultimate solution for flaky tests at the moment.
- Programming skills: The most difficult for manual testers who started the transition to automation testing is the coding knowledge. The QA teams have to possess satisfactory coding skills to write, execute, and maintain test scripts.
- Visual testing: Ensuring visual quality is essential since visible defects often influence functionality as well as the overall user experience. Even some teams continue to test visual defects manually; many teams have automated test visual defects based on advanced AI to save time and money.
What is The Solution to These Problems?
For this problem, a collaboration was made from the top tool of each field: Katalon Studio represented for Automation Testing tools and AppliTools represented for Test Automation platform powered by Visual AI.
