Testing is important for quality user experience. Being an integral part of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), it is necessary that testing has speed, efficiency and flexibility. But in agile development methodology, testing could be mechanical, routine and time-consuming.
Agile methodologies teach breaking down of software development into smaller tasks known as “User Stories”. This has enabled early feedback’s which are useful for aligning the features with market needs.
When you have a commercial web application, you are always challenged to remain competitive. You are constantly under pressure to roll out new features for your clients.
Is RPA a testing tool? Is Test Automation similar to RPA? Could Selenium be used for RPA? Does a Robot do RPA execution? How could RPA be utilized in testing? With RPA evolving could testers lose their job? Is RPA based on Agile?
Where do we fit the Automation into our SDLC was one of the questions raised by a prospective client? Do you have the same impression?
Automation is now a phenomenon! One click booking, Auto-filters, interconnected and automated appliances,etc. are now anessential part of our living.

The Delivery Manager approached the QA Head – When do you stop testing? The Head replied – We never stop testing, it should be continuous we may put a ‘,’ to pause for a while but make sure to pick it again to near perfection.
