How does your company help customers with their automated testing initiatives? – SDTimes.com

Kevin Surace, co-founder and CTO of AppvanceAppvance makes a platform called Appvance IQ, or AIQ for short. The platform is all-encompassing web, API and native mobile, functional, compatibility, performance, load, security tests. It becomes a centerpiece of your quality initiative.

We break test creation into two buckets.

In Test Designer, you have a world-class rapid script creator that uses English or JavaScript to write tests at the UX and API level. And, its compatible with every major UI library like React and Angular. We see people create base-level scripts their first day 20X faster than writing in Selenium. Test Designer alone garners a 300% productivity improvement across the QA effort (dev or QA engineers).

AI-based Autonomous testing is 4 years old and augments specific use cases. You simply train an AI engine to act in certain ways with your web or mobile apps. Once it has learned what is important to you, it builds a baseline of your application and then on each new build it will look for bugs, differences, issues, failed validations. It is data-driven or will create its own data, generating 1000s of tests by itself in minutes. In addition, its able to simulate the flows of real user activities. Everyone who is using this says its a game-changer for quality. Find up to 10X more bugs with 98% less effort.

In other words to build useful things faster with fewer mistakes. Mabl is the simplest, most capable intelligent test automation solution on the market thats designed to give software testers a centralized platform for end-to-end testing

Mabls low-code interface for test creation and maintenance requires up to 80% less effort than alternatives, improving collaboration and reducing the programming expertise required to write and maintain automated tests. Our auto-healing capabilities harness the power of AI and machine learning to automatically detect changes throughout the UI and update tests accordingly, significantly reducing the burden of test maintenance.

The mabl desktop app also enables users to run browser, API, and local web tests in the cloud or locally through a single unified experience. Rather than worry about recreating a clean testing environment in a new browser every time they start a new test, the mabl app automatically opens a fresh browser, reducing the risk of faulty tests and allowing testers to move faster.

Mabl offers integrations with Slack, Jira, and Postman that make it easy to integrate automated testing into existing workflows, including shift-left initiatives that bring developers into the testing strategy. Additional integrations with tools like Segment allow testers to align automated testing with actual user journeys, making it easier to connect testing success to business success.

Quality professionals are quickly taking on a new and critical role in the enterprise as the keepers of product quality. To do so, they need solutions that enable them to automate routine tasks, embrace a data-driven testing strategy, and focus their talents on high-level quality initiatives. Mabl is the only end-to-end test automation solution designed to meet that challenge.

Mark Lambert, vice president of Strategic Initiatives at ParasoftAccording to a recent Forrester survey, quality continues to be a priority and the primary metric for measuring the success of software deliveries. With the continued pressure to release software faster and with fewer defects, its not just about speed its about delivering quality at speed.

Managers must ask themselves if they are confident in the quality of the applications being delivered by their teams. Continuous quality is a must for every organization to efficiently reduce the risk of costly operational outages and to accelerate time-to-market.

A critical element to reaching your quality targets is a scalable and maintainable automated testing strategy. When automated tests can be easily created and maintained, your team can focus on the overall quality of the application and verify the use cases, rather than the test scripts themselves. Parasoft solutions leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enable rapid test creation, self-healing, smart test execution, and other capabilities that streamline your test automation workflows.

A leader in the Forrester Wave: Continuous Functional Test Automation Suites 2020 report, Parasoft provides a complete and integrated quality suite.

Clinton Sprauve, director of Product Marketing at TricentisAgile and DevOps have made Continuous Testing essential. Yet, software testing is still dominated by legacy tools and outdated processeswhich dont meet the needs of todays digital transformation initiatives.

Also, enterprises today are still performing over 80% of their testing manuallymostly at the UI layer. As a result, testing occurs late in the software development life cycle, leading to high costs, inefficiency, and delayed innovation. With Tricentis Tosca, customers can achieve over 90% test automation and shift left testing much earlier in the software development life cycle.

One distinctive Tricentis innovation is Vision AI, a next-generation AI-driven test automation technology that allows teams to automate UI test cases independent of the underlying technology.

Through machine learning, Vision AI sees and steers any UI just like a human user, making your automation future proof and as adaptable as the human brain. If you can see it, Vision AI can automate it. This includes anything from an app using now-deprecated technologies to an app using emerging technologies, to apps you access remotely. You can even start building test automation from mockups or whiteboard drawings. This brings a new meaning to test-driven development.

Another key advantage of the Tricentis Continuous Testing platform is that it helps enterprise organizations break through the automation barrier. Companies take automation further by using our complete platform for continuous testing across their UIs, back end, and even their data. With an extensive set of integrated tools for designing, optimizing, and maintaining resilient automation, they achieve scalable, sustainable success.
