Overcoming Web Test Automation Challenges With Ease

Introduction

Automation has become an integral part of any software development process. It has contributed to the digital transformation of many organizations worldwide. In this era where agile development is adopted widely to stay ahead in the competition, the demand for automation has become inevitable. Organizations are relying on their fast and sleek websites and mobile apps as their primary source of revenue generation, customer interaction, transaction processing, feedback, etc. Keeping the website usability and mobile apps at the focus, it becomes absolutely necessary to automate the testing process to provide a better user experience through a stable and friendly UI, and web test automation can make this possible.

Web automation testing is transforming the whole software industry. It has made the testing process so easy for testers that it has enabled them to catch and resolve issues in the development process rapidly and effortlessly. Adopting Agile development is a costly affair and demands quick delivery in a limited timeframe. The responsibility to identify issues in a timely manner and ensure a quality software release at the same time demands more from the testing teams. Web test automation eases this pressure to perform by providing high test coverage, easy identification of prevailing issues, and enabling faster test execution.

Automation of Business Transaction Reconciliation

Reducing time for disaster recovery is crucial for organizations needing to achieve operational resiliency. This article helps CIOs, CTOs and IT development teams understand the complexity of maintaining stateful transaction processing with participating applications, auto reconciliation and visualization. It also provides information for organizations setting up high recovery mechanisms for transaction reconciliation and settlement in case of failure, as well as transaction disruption events during a network failure.

Problem Statement

Many organizations spend huge amounts of time manually settling business transactions when there is a complete fail-over of an application or site zone failure to another application site zone. The fail-over condition arises due to uncontrolled network failure, OS failure, hardware failure or DR drill. The availability and processing of time-bound and business-critical transactions across application site zones are needed by many organizations, especially financial institutions. The automation of this requirement needs technical support and solution implementation.
