Comprehensive coverage of your automated tests

Not all applications have the same testing requirements.
Depending on your specific needs, certain types of testing take priority. Performance, stability, compliance, or user experience? This page helps you identify the most relevant tests to secure your platforms and effectively automate your QA strategy.

User experience

Functional tests

Automate your functional tests and validate each feature automatically with every update.

Non-regression tests

How do you choose the right tests for your application?

Not all applications have the same testing requirements. Several factors help identify which tests should be prioritized:

The critical nature of user flows: key features (login, payment, account creation, etc.) must be tested first.
Release frequency: Regular updates require automated testing to quickly verify that the existing system is still functioning properly.
The complexity of integrations—such as APIs, third-party services, or data exchanges—can lead to errors that are difficult to detect without proper testing.
Traffic volume and actual usage: High-traffic platforms require performance and stability testing.
Your team structure—product organization, centralized QA or QA integrated into squads, DevOps maturity—are all factors that influence your testing strategy.

In practice, an effective strategy typically combines functional testing, non-regression testing, performance testing, and API testing. Automation then allows these checks to be run continuously and helps detect issues before they affect your users.

Your needs may also vary depending on your industry.

What are the main types of software testing?

There are many types of software testing, each designed to meet specific objectives depending on the nature of the application and the business requirements.

The most common types are functional tests, which verify that each feature works as expected, and non-regression tests (NRTs), which ensure that code changes have not broken existing features.

Other tests are also essential depending on the context:

Performance testing, to verify the application's stability and speed under load
API testing, to secure data exchanges between different systems
Accessibility testing, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and that interfaces are accessible to all users
Visual tests that detect visual anomalies following changes to the interface
Data layer tests, often used by marketing or data teams to verify the reliability of the collected data

An effective testing strategy typically combines several of these approaches to cover technical, functional, and business aspects.

Why automate software testing?

Automation allows tests to be run faster, more frequently, and with less manual effort. It becomes particularly useful when applications are updated regularly and teams need to ensure the security of each new release.

Without automation, testing campaigns are time-consuming, repetitive, and difficult to sustain over time.

However, automation is still sometimes seen as difficult to implement. But no-code solutions like Mr Suricate greatly simplify this process. They enable product, QA, and business teams to create and maintain test scenarios without writing any code.

Which tests should be automated first?

When an organization launches an automation strategy, it is generally recommended to start with the application’s critical workflows.

These are the features that are most critical to the business: account creation, user login, payment, order confirmation, or any other essential user flow.

These scenarios have a direct impact on the customer experience and revenue. Automating them makes it possible to quickly detect anomalies that could disrupt these customer journeys.

The non-regression tests (NRTs) are also among the first automation processes to be implemented. They ensure that a product update has not introduced bugs in existing features.

Since these tests must be run regularly with each new release, they are particularly well-suited for automation.
