Not all applications have the same testing requirements.
Depending on your specific challenges, certain types of tests take precedence. Performance, stability, compliance, or user experience? This page will help you identify the most relevant tests to secure your platforms and effectively automate your QA strategy.
Streamline your functional testing and automatically validate each feature with every update.
Simply automate regression tests and enhance the user experience across your websites and mobile applications.
Replicate and automate your real end-to-end user journeys to detect anomalies where they truly occur.
Not all applications have the same testing requirements. Several factors help identify priority tests:
In practice, an effective strategy generally combines functional tests, non-regression tests, performance tests, and API tests. Automation then enables continuous execution of these verifications and detection of anomalies before they impact your users.
Your needs may also vary depending on your industry sector.
Our experts analyze your platform, processes, and teams to identify the priority tests to implement.
There are numerous types of software tests, each addressing specific objectives based on the application's nature and business challenges.
The most common are functional tests, which verify that each feature functions as intended, and non-regression tests (NRT), which ensure that a code evolution has not broken existing functionalities.
Other tests are also essential depending on the context:
Performance Tests, to verify the application's stability and responsiveness under load
API Tests, to secure exchanges between different systems
Accessibility Tests, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and interface accessibility for all users
Visual Regression Tests, which detect visual anomalies following an interface evolution
Data Layer Tests, often utilized by marketing or data teams to verify the reliability of collected data
An effective testing strategy typically combines several of these approaches to cover technical, functional, and business aspects simultaneously.
Automation enables tests to be executed more rapidly, more frequently, and with less manual effort. It becomes particularly valuable when applications evolve regularly and teams need to secure each new production release.
Without automation, testing campaigns are lengthy, repetitive, and challenging to maintain over time.
However, automation is still sometimes perceived as complex to implement. But no-code solutions like Mr Suricate significantly simplify this strategy. They enable product, QA, or business teams to create and maintain test scenarios without writing code.
👉 To delve deeper, discover the benefits of automated testing and their impact on team quality and performance.
When an organization initiates an automation strategy, it is generally recommended to begin with the application's critical user journeys.
These are the most critical functionalities for the business: account creation, user login, payment, order validation, or any other essential user journey.
These scenarios directly impact customer experience and revenue. Automating them allows for rapid detection of anomalies that could impede these journeys.
The Non-regression tests (NRT) are also among the first automations to implement. They ensure that a product evolution has not introduced bugs into existing functionalities.
As these tests must be executed regularly with each new version, they are particularly well-suited for automation.
