When to automate different scenarios

 Here’s a brief description of when to automate each of the mentioned scenarios:

  1. Repetitive Regression Tests
    Automate when the same test case needs to be executed frequently across multiple releases to ensure existing functionality is not broken. Automation saves time and ensures consistency.

  2. Data-Driven Testing
    Automate when the same test logic needs to be run with multiple sets of input data. Automation allows you to efficiently validate various input combinations and edge cases without manual repetition.

  3. Cross-Browser Testing
    Automate when your application needs to be validated across multiple web browsers. Automated scripts can quickly execute the same tests across different browsers, ensuring compatibility and saving significant manual effort.

Uncovering Testing Tips, Automation Tricks, and Bug-Hunting Stories from the Field

Introduction Welcome to 404 No Bugs Found , your go-to QA blog where we dive deep into the fascinating world of software testing. Whether you're a seasoned tester, an automation enthusiast, or just starting your QA journey, this blog is your toolkit for practical advice, field-tested strategies, and tales from the trenches. 🧪 Testing Tips: Smarter Ways to Ensure Quality 1. Embrace Risk-Based Testing Focus on testing the areas of your application where failure would be most critical. Prioritize test cases based on business impact, usage frequency, and past defect data. 2. Keep Your Test Cases Lean and Clean Avoid bloated test cases. Write concise, focused tests that validate one specific behavior or requirement. Regularly review and refactor old test cases. 3. Shift Left Early and Often Collaborate with developers and product managers early in the development cycle. Catching bugs in requirements or designs saves time and effort down the road. 🤖 Automation Tricks: Making S...

Bug Life Cycle (Defect Life Cycle)

The bug life cycle is the journey a software bug goes through from the moment it's found until it's fixed and confirmed as gone. Here's a simple explanation in layman's terms. OR In technical terms , the Bug Life Cycle (also known as Defect Life Cycle ) refers to the sequence of stages a defect or bug goes through during its lifetime in a software development process. It helps track the current status of a bug and ensures proper handling from detection to closure. 🐞 Bug Life Cycle: New – Someone finds a problem in the software and reports it. The bug is now "new." Assigned – The bug is given to a developer (the person who fixes it). In Progress / Open – The developer starts working on fixing the bug. Fixed – The developer believes they have solved the problem and marks it as "fixed." Tested / Retest – The tester checks the software again to see if the bug is really gone. Verified – If the bug is truly fixed, it's ma...

What is the automation testing foundation

The  Automation Testing Foundation  refers to the core concepts, principles, tools, and practices that form the base knowledge required to effectively understand and perform automation testing. It’s often the first step in learning automation testing, especially for beginners or manual testers transitioning into automation. 1.  Understanding the Basics What is Automation Testing? Using software tools to run tests automatically, manage test data, and utilize results to improve software quality. Benefits:  Faster execution, repeatability, reusability, and increased test coverage. Limitations:  High initial cost, maintenance effort, and not suitable for all test types. 2.  Types of Testing Suitable for Automation Regression Testing Smoke and Sanity Testing Functional and Integration Testing Data-Driven Testing Performance Testing (with specialized tools) 3.  Test Automation Frameworks Linear Scripting:  Record and playback, simple but not scalab...
