Can Automation Testing replace Manual Testing? Which is Better?

Image
Manual testing is where manual testers will be involved to execute test scripts in a step-by-step manner. In a test automation scenario, specific automation tools and frameworks are used to execute test scripts. The working of a manual tester cannot be compared with a machine and vice versa. Hence in certain specific testing activities, automation testing may not be able to work and the intervention of manual testing might be required.   Following are three key reasons that depict the significance of automation testing: 1. In-depth testing: There are different testing approaches used by testers with different focus areas as per their level of expertise and exposure. But, with the inclusion of test automation, all areas of testing are equally focused upon. This in turn assures that the product has the best quality with a focus on every aspect of the product. Automation testing follows a meticulous approach towards testing, due to which there are no errors or minimal errors in the p

What is the Automated Tool for Accessibility Testing?

The accessibility testing tool plays a key role in enhancing the effectiveness of accessibility testing and ensuring that the website or application is fully accessible, navigable and usable. The tools provide a technical platform that covers almost all the aspects of disabilities in order to build a disabled-friendly website or application. The accessibility of the software can be checked through the implementation of testing tools as mentioned below. In this article, you will get to know about a few important accessibility testing tools. Following are the nine automation tools used for accessibility testing: 1. Color Contrast Analyzer: Text color contrast problems on a web page are checked by Color Contrast Analyzer according to the text-color contrast requirements mentioned in WCAG 2. The page is evaluated as it appears on the browser so that advanced CSS attributes and text over gradients are properly handled. The entire web page, a portion of the web page and the entire vis

Is there a difference between Usability and Accessibility Testing?

Image
Usability testing is focused on evaluating the value of a software product or application from a user’s standpoint. The user-friendliness of the software product or application is ascertained and upon that feedback is obtained from users. Based on the feedback provided, further modifications are done by the team in order to make it more user-friendly.  Accessibility testing  is focused on the extent to which a website is accessible and it also focuses upon making the website or application disabled- friendly. In this article, you will get to know what are the differences between usability and accessibility testing.       What is Usability testing? It is a testing method where the functionality of an application or website is tested by real users. The objective of this testing method is to uncover issues pertaining to user experience and usability by obtaining feedback from users.  Following are a few key points that are taken into consideration for performing the testing activity: The

How can we Design an Effective Test Automation Framework?

Testing frameworks are a set of rules and guidelines that are used to design and create test cases. A standardized test language is provided and the application under test is provided with reporting structure through which test maintenance costs can be reduced. An automation framework provides an automated test environment that can be easily set up by users, which, in turn, helps in providing better ROI for both QA and development teams. In this article, you will get to know the seven steps that are required to design an effective test automation framework. What are automated testing frameworks? Automated processes are optimized through the platform of automated testing frameworks. Faster cycles are facilitated through test reusability and through speeding up maintenance and test creation, wherein test data is separated from logic. Automated testing frameworks help in lowering maintenance costs, maximizing test coverage, improving test accuracy and eventually providing a higher
