How Test Automation Plays an Important Role in Functional Testing ?



Throughout the Software Development and Application building software life cycle,
most of the times it is observed that the crucial part i.e. Software testing is being given
lesser importance. The criticality of Software testing is understated as is the importance
of the privacy breach or bug attacks. Any losses big or small have the potential to
damage the business and brand image in a severe way which can cause customer
migration. Hence, it is often recommended to test all types of applications.
In the whole process of the Testing, Automated Functional Testing has its specific
applications and implications.  Let's understand the importance of Automation in
Functional Testing.  

What is Functional Testing?

Functional Testing is what tests the functionality of an application. It further tests user
expectations and experience through the functionalities of the software. The various kinds
of functions include user actions, searches, error messages, user screens, data operations,
business processes, and integrations. It is usually done based on the requirements, user stories,
and acceptance criteria. 

What is Automation Test?

Test Automation is a technique that automates the testing process using scripts and suitable to
ols.  Further, when the scripts are ready, they are used to execute the test cases automatically
to improve the overall test coverage and efficiency. Automation Testing is great for larger
projects that require the testing over and again or the projects which have undergone manual
testing before. 

How Does Automation play an important role in doing functional testing?

  • Improves Turn around time, quality, and stability of the application. 

  • Enables performing comprehensive, end-to-end functional tests leading to the robust development of the project. 

  • Increased probability of error-free product.

  • Ease of use 

  • Enhanced speed is experienced during automation Testing 


Aspects Significant For Test Automation for Functional Testing

The final success of the test automation lies in the skill set the team posses. One needs
the right amount of skillset and expertise in the subject to drive the project successfully.

  • Selection of Best in Industry Tools for Test Automation 

It is an imperative step to select most updated and suitable tools to ensure the success
of your test automation strategy which gives ease of use, automation speed, technology
support, reusability, and maintainability, should specifically support DevOps, cross-platform
support, etc. 

  • Selection of Right cases to Automate

 Right test cases for automation testing are the business-critical test cases, as these should
pass in every aspect. But somehow, other test cases are those that are executed repeatedly
and are too tedious to execute manually, and the ones that are time-consuming. 

  • Set up of the correct test environment

Another step which is mandatory is to set up a conducive test environment which is as
similar as possible to the production environment — including the hardware and software
configuration.

  • Maintain the test suite

The automation test scripts need to be modified at times or also new scripts are to be added,
as and when new functionalities are added to the application. To improve the effectiveness
of automation, the test suite must be regularly upgraded and updated and must be easy to
