Software testing

At Cegal, we use modern test automation whenever appropriate. 

We do this to:

• Ensure high test quality
• Secure quality documentation about the product
• Avoid time-consuming manual processes

Test automation is one of many techniques used behind the scenes when creating software. It can happen at many levels, such as deeper down in the softwareas device tests, but also in the form of user interface testing (UI testing). It is important to identify what should be automated, as this should correspond with what is valuable to the customer.  

UI test automation typically covers the most valuable scenarios first, and is then developed to represent multiple user scenarios. Once the test is stable, it can be automatically run and will quickly notify the team that the part in question is ready to ship on to development or launch (or not, as the case may be) 

Having tests that alert the team to the actual status of further development/launch is a way to build the foundation for good teamwork. As a customer, this means you are spared production problems because the developer team is fed a steady stream of information that prevents errors and instability.

Test automation can cover thousands of scenarios in minutes, as opposed to manual testing that often takes hours, days, and even weeks.
