Why Digital Transformation Requires Continuous Software Testing
How important Software is for any business?
There is a common relation between every Software that 26.4 million developers are working on in 2019. The general purpose of them is to reduce the time taken to perform different tasks, improve the efficiency level and chunk down the costs.
Let’s take the case of Payroll processes. If done manually, it is not only time-consuming but prone to more errors. This would lead to inefficiency and inaccuracy. If the salary is getting delayed because of these internal bottlenecks, then employees would not appreciate that. That would cause discomfort in the business environment.
The primary focus of any software is to handle the management tasks efficiently, save your precious time, hard-earned money and tedious labour. The software is capable of storing all the data at a safe place. Tracking the business processes is an easy pie when there is software to handle that.
How digital business has a competitive edge on having a modern software testing than those who don’t?
At present, most of the companies opt for mundane Software testing processes. They are yet to upgrade themselves to modern testing methods due to inadequate knowledge and planning. They should realise that Modern Software testing methodologies are the need of the hour, to fasten the delivery process, in the era of digital transformation.
Speaking about digital transformation, it is all about placing the customers at the center point of any business strategy, decision and step. From C-level employees to junior level, everybody should be able to enjoy the privileges of digitalization. We can consider the enterprise-wide cultural change as the core factor of any digitally transformed organization.
This is the core value of digital transformation:
- Streamlining the workflow in one direction
- Create, reduce and magnify the loops in the feedback
- Keep experimenting, learn from mistakes and become a master
Why digital business requires continuous software testing?
There is a great demand for quality products including mobile apps, web apps and websites. With the arrival of AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and other technologies in the loop, we are on the way to zeist on creating products that matters to the world.
If there are more bugs and errors, people are going to lose interest on your products. To avoid this, testing is mandatory. If the testing process is going to get delayed, then that would hinder the delivery process. To avoid that, continuous software testing with modern methodologies is vital.
Tricentis joined hands with Forrester and conducted an online survey with over 600 global enterprise respondents concentrating on Agile and/or DevOps strategies. The survey showed that 72% of firms are in affirmative that testers should contribute to maintain the continuity of delivery success. They also noted the following as the key for businesses to ensure successful testing process:
- Focus on the allocation of proper testing budgets
- Keen interest on up-gradation of their testing skills
- Welcoming highly skilled testers as an important part of their integrated delivery teams
- Automation of end-to-end functional testing
Coming to automation, there are bigger players like Bosch and Mayo Clinic who automate some of their tasks to manage thousands of employees. Everything is getting automated. Testing, till date, is more manual. As a matter of fact, there is more of automation in your hair dryer than in testing. It is high time we implement efficient automation methodologies in Agile and DevOps methodologies of testing.
The domination of yesteryear Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools should end! In previous times, Automation did not prove successful due to many factors like:
High level of maintenance: Traditional script-based automated tests are really expensive due to more dynamic, complicated release process.
More failures: The apps are more complex, interconnected with more inconsistencies in the test environment. This would further require cumbersome follow-up process. This leads people to avoid automation.
With continuous software testing, we can avoid these conflicts. You can focus on business risks. You would also get the right insights on whether the software has to be released or not.
