Top Benefits of Automation Testing for a Successful Product Release

Introduction

Businesses rely on automation testing to keep up with faster and higher-quality processes that agile development demands. There are many benefits of automation testing, such as reducing costs, avoiding delays, and helping to create a great customer experience. Unplanned or ad hoc testing can lead to discrepancies and issues that will directly affect the business deliverables. Testing is an essential part of product development, so businesses need to have tests ever-ready.

Developers have always been finding bugs and resolving issues, but no matter how experienced you are in solving such problems, there will be some bugs that you can never catch on your own. Testers use regression testing to stabilize the product for faster releases and quickly fix issues after migrating the code to the production environment. Automation testing has numerous benefits in comparison to manual testing. Automating increases the effectiveness of processes, expedites execution, and maximizes test coverage. It further removes chances of repetitive mistakes/tasks by testers, reduces human error, and provides instant feedback for quick resolution of issues, which improves overall efficiency in all activities. Let’s explore the advantages of automation testing in software development in detail as we move further.

How to Conduct Accessibility Testing on Android Devices

As per recent research by the World Health Organization, roughly 15% of the worldwide population is ‘specially-abled’ in some form or another. Developers creating a mobile application for all need to keep this 15% in mind. Other than creating dedicated applications for differently-abled people, making sure the current applications are disabled-friendly is a moral responsibility for every developer to ensure all their users are able to access their application with ease.

To accelerate this process, innovative tools are used to check if the applications are functioning as per the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines or WCAG. This is where accessibility testing comes into the picture. Accessibility testing helps identify errors in software and functions incorporated in your systems and mobile phones to ensure that an application is accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
