Test Automation vs. Autonomous Testing

The software testing space saw a paradigm shift in testing methodologies from manual to test automation with the new technologies. Digitization certainly comes with benefits, such as increased productivity; at the same time, it also results in the complexity of applications. Fintech applications are the best examples of banking services to complex app-based applications. The challenge is to provide the most satisfactory customer experience on these applications and perform well. Software testing is the game-changer and will play a vital role in this fast-paced DevOps world. It would be difficult for organizations to retain the best possible customer experience while delivering faster products to the market with traditional test automation approaches.

What Impact Might Automation Have on the Diversity in Public Service?

Predictions about the impact of autonomous technologies on the workplace have been as varied as they have been numerous. What we all agree on, however, is that there will be some kind of impact. The latest study to offer up a prediction comes from the University of Kansas and explores the impact automation might have on the public sector. The study looks not only at the traditional aspects of the automation of work but also whether the introduction of new technologies might influence the equity of service provision.

The authors make a debatable start by arguing that many of the investments in automated technology are driven by efficiency concerns, which is a proxy for layoffs and reduced headcount, and while this is fine and dandy in the private sector, the public sector has more noble ends and must also aim for both the fair and equitable delivery of vital services to the public and the creation of an equal opportunity workforce.
