Software Testing and Its Future - Where Are We Heading?

Why Software testing? Every project has a chief aim to produce an outstanding and reliable product for its end users and so the case for any software application or product. While the developer develops different modules of a software application he understands the program flow and the logic of the application. But the end user is totally unaware of the logic section. Hence, the end user may find it difficult to browse the application without understanding the background logic. To create a virtual connection breeze between the developer and end user there is a set off people known as testers. Testers check the application from the user’s point of view to provide better user experience to the end user. So in order to get a good reliable and user friendly product we must give importance to the testing operations for an application.

Future of software testing: Previously the testing operation was performed by QA testers i.e., quality assurance professionals. They use to test the application manually with their experience, expertise and knowledge. This is really a tedious job for the testers to check each and every aspect of the application manually which is not only time taking but also an inefficient process. Understanding the same, the automation testing gets evolved in 21st century. With different automation testing tools like QTP testing, selenium testing etc; it makes the overall testing experience a pleasant one with efficiency and time saving.

Why future rely on automation testing? With the rapid progress of the smart phones and tablets in the industry, the testing process becomes extremely difficult for a tester to check the reliability of an application in different platforms like Windows, Android and IOS simultaneously. To achieve the same if a QA tester tests the application manually then it would be a tough and inefficient method for the application because the tester may leave some loop holes in the application which may lead to crash of the application while being used by the user on different platforms. To avoid this embracing situation, the future testers are depending on the automation testing tools for efficient testing. Automated testing can help in not only decrease in the effort for the tester but also at the same time increases the efficiency and productivity.

Different types of automation testing tools: There are basically two different popular automation testing tools namely Selenium Automation Testing and QTP Automation testing tools. Well both maintained their own priority in respective fields but this is the duty of the tester to choose the best testing methodology for his project considering the cost, type and size of the application. QTP automation testing can be used for any application for windows platform. It needs the knowledge of VB script for the tester to make the automation testing successful for applications for windows platform. On the other hand, Selenium is a modern era automation testing tool which can be used for only web application testing but for all platforms i.e., Windows, Android, IOS. Moreover Selenium automation testing is an in expensive way of automation testing due to its low cost of ownership.

Hence, for any software application testing except web applications we can rely on QTP automated testing whereas for modern web applications testing that run on Android or IOS platform, Selenium automated testing is a boon.
