End-to-End Test Automation for Faster Delivery

Enterprises carry out various steps including continuous improvements, reliability and safety measures to successfully launch software in the market. However, most companies are facing the challenge of assuring quality and delivering the product within the strict deadlines amidst resource and technology demands. In the process, organizations are implementing a series of approaches aligned with Agile delivery and test automation frameworks for auditing the quality of processes and products and ensuring faster delivery. Cary, NC based IT Automation enables end-to-end test automation frameworks and provides delivery solutions with industry based standards, training and technical mentorship with scalable automated test designs in systems development for high product quality. “We help clients promote adaptive planning, and embrace continuous improvement techniques for effective solution delivery with application of test automation strategy and fastest time to market,” elucidates Ravi Sumanam, COO, IT Automation.

The company applies conceptual manual test efforts in test data creation, data mining, test scenario identification, writes test cases for Agile functional requirements, performs test execution and documentation of test results for client review and acceptance. “Our approach is to meet the Definition-of-Done by performing steps in verification and validation testing based on acceptance criteria,” explains Sumanam. Once the acceptance criteria is met by manual efforts and ensuring functionality is working as expected, users can proceed to the next steps for system integration testing and test automation readiness.

Test automation tools are selected after carefully understanding the client’s requirements and getting the maximum benefits from the applied resources. “Providing strategies for solving organizations’ most pressing needs, we perform technology assessments and product evaluations creating a selective approach on the automation tools to incorporate,” says Sumanam. To ensure this, facilitated workshops are conducted to bring the best model in utilizing automation resources considering impediments in the process. “We take initiatives along with a disciplined approach to build, train and implement strategic automation techniques to maximize productivity,” adds Sumanam.
