To use or not to use – every customer asks themselves this question, when it comes to mobile automation testing. They say that development and supporting of UI auto tests costs too much. But let’s return to the statement a little bit later. And now we are going to discuss the following questions: what is mobile automation, who is it for, what for and do you actually need it?
Testers on the project usually deal with described requirements for which it is necessary to make an assessment of the testing time, write a test plan, compile a set of tests and conduct tests. When performing this work, the tester very often encounters the need to clarify the requirements, rewrite incorrectly formulated or contradictory descriptions. In the process of clarifying the requirements there is a need to modify, supplement, rewrite tests. Since the tester verifies positive and negative scenarios, the work of users with different access rights, the operation of the script with different preconditions, then the number of test scenarios written for the requirements is usually greater than the scenarios described by the analyst. If the analyst makes changes or rewrites a requirement, then the tester needs to make changes to all related tests. This work takes a very long time. How to reduce the time to work with requirements during testing?

Writing test cases is one of the basic options within a QA engineer’s arsenal. Properly written test cases may be applied to almost any development methodology, testing technique or project size. They can provide QA team with a crucial success or easily become the most annoying part of the testing process. This guide is intended to help QA engineers of any experience to achieve the first and avoid the latter.

Performance testing is a type of testing proceess to determine the responsiveness, throughput, reliability and scalability of a system, it has under a certain load. The goal of the performance testing is one of the listed below:
The role of API has grown over the last few years. The growing use of cloud based technologies leads to more API-interfaces providing access to web-services. API supports this important interaction between the client and service. In this case, not only the proper operation of API methods is very important, but also their performance. Let’s take a look at the tools which are the leaders in conducting automated API testing such as SoapUI API testing.

If you aren’t implementing a prototype for some quick demo in some 8 hours, 3 days, etc. to archive it in a folder like the “trash” right after that, then you will have to think about the quality assurance, finding bugs, etc. Somebody will have to do this job after all. Whether you include the automated tests in the code development process or you totally rely on the testers, the automated tests will appear in your system sooner or later (or the project will die aborning).
The worst thing is that auto tests are also the code, i.e. all problems relating to the code development (the design, bugs, usability, performance, etc.) exist in tests. When you automate the testing, you actually implement the new functionality in your system. Thus, you should develop tests as any other features.
