Automated Software Testing Services
QA automation services revolutionize the way teams test software for functionality, reliability, and performance. The automated testing process supplements manual QA through tools and frameworks, making software inspection more accurate and less time-consuming. With automation testing services, product teams team can cover a broader range of scenarios, accelerate testing cycles, and focus on creative problem-solving and innovation. Through agility and effectiveness, automated QA enhances experiences both for end-users of the software and teams engaged in its creation.
Our QA Automation Testing Services
QA automation services can be an excellent solution for any stage of software development, from the earliest product versions through to the launch. As soon as you have stable functionality that won’t undergo alteration, it’s possible to discuss implementing test automation services. Apart from a few QA checks that can be manual only, you can automate a variety of testing types.
Test scripts for automated functional testing are designed to access the software’s features, input data, and validate the corresponding outputs. Running these tests with different scenarios and data sets can facilitate and accelerate bug detection and fixing. Automated functional testing can cover a broad spectrum of functionalities, leaving QA engineers focused more on the aspects requiring human input.
The more complex digital solutions are, the more API connections and integrations with web services and third-party software they have. The objective of integration testing is to ensure that all parts that make up a system work seamlessly together. The automated scripts for testing are designed to simulate the integration points and interactions between these parts. Automation allows for rapid execution and provides quick feedback.
Automating this type of testing is particularly important for applications intended for a vast range of devices. Compatibility issues may include layout distortions, functionality discrepancies, performance variations, and more. Running parallel tests in different devices and browsers significantly speeds up quality checks, helping you prepare software for correct and consistent work on different browsers, OS, and hardware.
It involves the execution of previously validated test cases. This is necessary for ensuring that recent code changes have not affected the existing functionalities of the software. Regression testing is executed for every build and usually becomes the first option for software automation services. It is particularly valuable in agile projects, where frequent updates and code changes are the core of the development strategy.
With sanity software testing automated, you can quickly verify the fundamental functionalities of the software after changes or updates. Its goal is to ensure that the critical features remain intact and continue to function as expected so QA engineers can proceed with further testing. Performed after each build or iteration to confirm stability, it accelerates the testing significantly by capturing critical errors or giving the green light for further work immediately.
Automated testing can help the team keep track of the software’s performance and reliability in real-time – by monitoring response times, error rates, resource utilization, etc. Executing scripts that mimic user interactions and system events at regular intervals or as a response to specific events ensures that the live system remains resilient and can adapt to changes or updates at any moment.

When to Use Automated Testing
Automating every aspect of software testing is not possible or necessary, even theoretically. Managing too many test cases is impractical and counterproductive. The QA Madness team always makes sure it doesn’t happen. Test automation experts thoroughly analyze the project’s needs and functionality to determine whether the test automation service is viable and how much to automate at the moment. There are a few criteria that may signal the project’s readiness for automation.
Broad Functionality
As the number of features in software increases, a QA automation test suit grows bigger. There are QA checks frequently run for multiple builds. Repetitive executions of the same test cases can take much time while also affecting accuracy and slowing down the delivery.Cross-Platform Tests
Even without extensive functionality and an abundance of features to check, testing can get time-consuming if it’s essential to cover a large number of environments. Tests that must be run on different hardware and software platforms are always reasonable to automate.Slow and Tedious Tests
Some tests can be tedious and slow when run manually because of their specific functionality or logic. One example is entering complex data manually every time – time-consuming and prone to a high risk of human error. Automation QA testing changes this.High-Risk Conditions
Testing high-risk conditions, especially for critical functionality, is highly important. These checks demand precision and accuracy. Automating testing ensures clear-cut results. You get more reliable results and more confidence in the quality of the live product.Multiple Data Sets
In scenarios where tests involve a myriad of data sets within a data-driven framework, manual testing just becomes impractical. QA automation services streamline the process, enabling efficient testing across various data sets without compromising accuracy.Clear Pass-Fail Result
Repeated tests that deliver an exact pass or fail result are perfect to automate. A binary pass or fail outcome means a human tester doesn’t bring additional value. Meanwhile, software automation services ensure exact results, accelerating the process considerably.Test Automation Benefits
Test automation in software engineering can have transformative power, being a catalyst for seamless, reliable software deployment. And that’s not an exaggeration. Repetitive tasks become a thing of the past while the team gets to release software products of better quality and do it quicker. Test automation uncovers a full spectrum of benefits, starting with higher efficiency in daily tasks to a happier, formidable team.
Efficiency
Automated software tests can run virtually unattended while QA engineers monitor the results at the end. The scripts are reusable, faster to execute, and easily scalable; they extend test coverage significantly.
Accuracy
To get highly accurate results continuously, you only need to set up the script for a particular test case once. Automation in testing eliminates human error, thereby ensuring unambiguous test results during all runs.
Cost-Savings
The initial setup and implementation may incur higher costs. In the long run, maintenance is cheaper than manual testing, thanks to quicker execution and minimizing the chance of post-release defects.
Reporting
The reports are generated automatically after every run. They are standardized, detailed, and accurate. Hence, it is easier for the development team to read the results of test runs and locate defect root causes.
Acceleration
With automated testing as a service, you quickly achieve a faster time-to-market cycle. Quick, often continuous, execution of test cases results in a faster feedback loop, accelerating bug fixing and product releases.
Improvements
After mundane tasks are automated, QA engineers have more time to focus on potential improvements that are not directly related to software defects, like basic UX aspects and knowledge maintenance.
Expertise
Our automated testing company has developed and implemented test automation strategies for different products and business domains. We’ll work with you to create a custom automated testing schedule, provide quick feedback on weak spots, and share ideas for software improvement.

Automated Testing Process
Automated testing unveils several advantages, including quick feedback, test coverage exactitude, and cost-effectiveness. To achieve superior efficiency and make these advantages work, you’ll need to have the right strategy and implement testing correctly.
Preparation Stage
The Preparation Stage is the first step of the automation test process. It starts with the analysis of your project.
Automated QA engineers study technical requirements and examine software. Next, they conclude what strategy is suitable, what to automate in testing, and select the appropriate tools. Aspects such as programming languages, frameworks, reporting systems, VCS, and CI/CD are considered.
Then comes the creation and approval of test documentation. If you already have checklists or test cases for manual testing, AQA engineers can use them as a basis for script writing. If not, there’s no need to worry. Our team will prepare the manual test documentation necessary for further scripting. Lastly, we agree on communication tools.
Active Stage
The Active Stage entails all practical aspects of the automated testing setup.
At this phase of test automation, the AQA engineer works on the following tasks:
- Creates a test framework.
- Writes test scripts.
- Configures test runs.
- Sets up the reporting.
- Executes scripts.
- Generates bug reports.
After an automated test program completes script execution, the development team gets their first defects to locate and fix.
Support Stage
Finally, at the Support Stage, an AQA engineer verifies that the chosen strategy and scripts align with the overall development goals.
They confirm that everything about test automation functions as expected. At this point, a specialist can prepare “How to” instructions for other team members involved in test runs.
Then comes test maintenance. It’s critical to update the test automation suite as software evolves. There will be a need to add new scripts and delete those that stop being relevant. From now on, test updates and automation of new features will be the core of automated testing activities.
