為什麼敏捷測試對於數字時代的商業成功至關重要(以及如何使用正確的工具授權測試人員)
隨著越來越多的企業通過軟件實現新的收入流和客戶訂婚策略,測試是在商業成功方麵擔任越來越重要的作用。盡管如此,測試通常在與單一功能要求相關的孤島中進行。在今天的競爭激烈的環境中,如果您沒有對質量的戰略方法,您忽略了競爭優勢。
當今龍頭企業的普遍存在現代化由於企業在公司成功中實現了QA的至關重要作用,以表明它和C-Suite的心態和C-Suite的成熟。作為測試增長的作用和責任,測試人員必須轉移到更複雜的方法,優先考慮戰略測試自動化和深入數據分析,可以導致更高效的測試更高質量的版本。
Companies that employ multiple, disparate testing methods and store the resulting information in disparate tools lack the ability to gain the kind of comprehensive, organization-wide insights that can better the business. When test data is collected across a vast toolset, testers’ ability to gain understanding of overall quality, or to leverage the insights they gain to improve efficiency enterprise-wide, becomes severely limited. In a software-driven economy, these failings put companies at a competitive disadvantage.
製定全麵的敏捷測試策略
While testers still need to ensure product functionality and check the user interface, they now have more sophisticated responsibilities. Modern testing teams must:
- Streamline regression testing
- 定義單位,集成和功能測試策略
- 自動化API測試
- Plan performance and load testing simulations
- 進行探索性測試
- Verify user workflows across complex, interconnected systems with end-to-end testing
- Perform acceptance testing
通過所有這些不同類型的測試,通常在多種工具上進行,這是測試人員有辦法跟蹤,組織和報告在整個企業中的測試活動的方式。一種可擴展的,春季春季靈活測試管理解決方案is required to:
- 標準化項目跨項目測試並點擊軟件交付目標
- Accelerate test run planning and test execution
- 簡化工作流程並使開發進行測試
- 在單個位置組織測試用例並創建邏輯類別以進行執行
- 在維護項目特定版本的同時與其他團隊共享測試用例
- 在跨項目和工具管理和跟蹤測試自動化, and execute all test runs from a central location
- 分析項目和團隊的應用健康,質量和釋放準備情況
Scaling test automation
今天的軟件更複雜,測試軟件的團隊更專業。質量是共同的責任,並且測試經常發生在許多分布式敏捷團隊中。
Bringing decentralized agile testing processes and data into a centralized view can help you confirm that quality and application health are improving, and that testing is turning out the desired outcomes. Centralized reporting provides opportunities to gain insights that might otherwise be lost.
While leveraging test automation tools can help you rapidly scale testing for agile, they don’t provide what’s needed to evaluate testing or quality as a whole across the organization. Agile test management can help put test automation into the context of the business, allowing you to evaluate what’s working across projects, teams and tools. And隨著測試自動化工具的數量,普通組織使用持續增長, reporting and evaluating the overall success of test automation can quickly become a painful process.
世界質量報告noted that test automation’s potential is understood but still unrealized at many leading enterprises. “It is worrying that our survey results show automation is currently under-exploited in QA and testing,” the report notes. “While we see a rise in the number of organizations benefitting from automation, the value they generate is largely unchanged and the level of test automation is still low.”
While it’s clear test automation shows significant promise in accelerating software delivery timelines, the market has lacked an enterprise-grade solution for maintaining visibility and control across the wide variety of open source and proprietary automation tools that are available today. The right agile test management solution will enable you to integrate test automation tools and centrally store, kick off and measure the results of your test automation efforts. For many organizations, this is a key requirement when transitioning to agile test management.
According to Janice Bethke, Director Quality and Process at Life Time, “One of the reasons we selected theTricentis qTestplatform was for its ability to scale with our test automation efforts. Before, we were using a Jira test management add-on that could no longer accommodate the growing number of automated tests we were running in each three-week sprint.” The Life Time team is now leveraging qTest Launchacross all test machines to streamline management for thousands of weekly test runs.
qTest Launch is Tricentis qTest’s test automation management solution,這使企業能夠:
- Integrate across frameworks and tools:利用任何開源或專有的框架或工具,從硒和Appium到黃瓜,JUnit或單位測試框架,郵遞員,吉何表或新奇。使用您自己的測試機器或對仿真服務進行測試,例如Saucelabs,同時保持集中控製。
- Enhance visibility:跟蹤多台機器的自動化測試,快速訪問最新的測試自動化運行結果,並使用過濾器和可自定義的儀表板鑽取特定項目的狀態。
- Increase test automation coverage:將自動化測試結果直接與與JIRA集成的業務需求,並快速確定每個要求的狀態可追溯性的測試覆蓋率。
