Test automation

Faster development, better quality and reliability

Testing business-critical applications causes many concerns for Executives and IT Managers. How do you ensure that maintenance or new releases can take place without problems? Or how do you prevent having to do a lot of (manual) work to test these changes? Our answer: apply test automation in a smart way, by making it part of every sprint and building toward increasing test coverage.

In our experience, managing information is often a much greater challenge than collecting the data itself. With our business intelligence tools, we present your management information in clear and easy-to-understand dashboards. We bring the information back to its core, so only what truly matters remains. We connect all your live data sources. From webshop and point-of-sale systems to inventories, ERP and CRM systems. All your business information is brought together in one integrated environment. This allows you to respond quickly and make decisions based on up-to-date business and market insights.

Automated testing with SIENN

SIENN offers advanced test automation tools and solutions to help you streamline and improve your testing processes. Our Test Automation Engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated tests for your software applications.

They develop your test automation strategy, handle scripting and development, set up a test automation framework, and ensure its configuration. If you wish, we maintain the test environment, run automated tests, and manage the test environment for you. Of course, we work closely with QA and development teams to resolve issues and bugs. With our expertise, you can accelerate QA in software development while improving accuracy. This way, automated testing contributes to your organisation’s growth and success, and supports software development quality assurance.

The advantages of test automation tools

Test automation tools enable more efficient and effective work. They improve the quality and reliability of your software products. The advantages of test automation tools are significant. Some of the most important advantages are:
  1. You save time | Automation reduces the time required to perform frequently occurring tests. This gives Developers more time to focus on other essential tasks.
  2. It ensures consistency | Test scripts perform tests in the same way every time. As a result, you get consistent test results.
  3. You save costs | Although you need to invest in setting up the test automation tool, test automation leads to significant cost savings in the long term.
  4. You can develop faster | Automation accelerates the development cycle. This allows your improved or new software to go to market more quickly.

Trends in test automation

Increasingly, we are moving toward more advanced and effective testing methods. The focus is mainly on integration with new technologies and methodologies. These are important trends:

Shift-left testing

With this approach, you test at an early stage of the software development cycle. The advantage is that errors are discovered and resolved faster and at lower cost.

AI and ML in automation

AI and machine learning are increasingly used to automate testing, improving speed, accuracy, and test coverage while enabling analysis of large volumes of test data.

Getting started with test automation

Implementing test automation within your organization? That is a smart, strategic move. One that helps ensure a secure software development process. Start by selecting the right test automation tools. Then train your team to use them effectively. It is important to select the right tests for automation.

Test automation, also known as automated testing, uses specific software tools and scripts to automate time-consuming manual test tasks that often recur. Think, for example, of automated functional tests to check whether your application meets user expectations. Or a series of automated regression tests that ensure new code has no unintended side effects on existing functionality.

You can also automate performance tests, continuous integration tests, and security tests. By automating these tests, you work more efficiently and effectively and ensure higher quality and reliability of your software applications.

Would you like to benefit from the advantages of test automation? Our team of experts is ready to help you at every step of the process, from tool selection to implementation. Together, we optimize your software development process and increase the quality of your products.
