Test Automation for Web Applications


Test Automation for Web Applications

Mostly, software applications today are written as web-based applications to be run in an Internet browser.

The effectiveness of testing these applications varies widely among companies and organizations. In an era of highly interactive and responsive software processes where many organizations are using some form of Agile methodology, test automation is frequently becoming a requirement for software projects.

Test automation means using a software tool to run repeatable tests against the application to be tested. For regression testing this provides that responsiveness.

Test automation has specific advantages for improving the long-term efficiency of a software team’s testing processes.

Test automation supports:
  • Frequent regression testing 
  • Rapid feedback to developers 
  • Virtually unlimited iterations of test case execution 
  • Support for Agile and extreme development methodologies 
  • Disciplined documentation of test cases 
  • Customized defect reporting 
  • Finding defects missed by manual testing
