Presentation based on the Award Winning Paper by Varadarajan Srinivasan on Zero Touch QA Automation Platform at STC Nov 2018. Companies that are in DevOps Journey go through a rough weather in QA Automation initiatives. With the industry transformation to Digital Trend, there is always a need for an efficient streamlined Continuous Delivery. This Webinar would talk about Zero Touch QA Automation Platform. It deals with the Solution on Integrated DevOps & Quality Approach. This would consist of Artificial Intelligence in Reporting and Data Visualization. The Complete QA Cycle is automated from Test Design to Test Closure with Continuous Monitoring, involving no manual intervention. The Webinar would also give insights on Business benefits/outcome on adopting this approach with streamlined Governance.

7. Challenges in QA Automation

8. Top 5 Challenges
01 Need simplified automation approach to enable functional
testers with test automation
02 Need manual effort reduction in end-to-end test process
03 Need ability to automatically analyze the test failures
04 Need ability to focus on 360 degree Quality Assurance
05 Need solution to measure Code coverage

9. Challenge 1
Need to simplify Test Automation
AGILE ADOPTION
Expected to have more
frequent releases
Current Team have less
automation expertise
Go beyond UI test to API and
data testing
Need to automate regression /
progression test cases
AND NO COMPROMISE ON PRODUCT
QUALITY
CHALLENGE
Stress endures handling knowledge
upskilling and project deadlines in parallel
Automation Enablement
for entire team is time taking process
Testing needs to go away from only E2E
to Component, API to reduce cycle time
Agile Transformation demands
Layered | High adoption | Simplified

10. Challenge 2
Need to automate the E2E QA Lifecycle
Is it practically possible to practice every phase of Software Test Life Cycle Process in DevOps/Agile Model ?
What if we skip QA Process?
 No E2E Traceability
 Lack of documentation
 loss of knowhow
 Low Defect Containment efficiency
 No view on project health
 Lack of Quality Control
What if hours on the QA Process?
 Considerable manual effort
 Prolonged Time to Market
 Not suitable in Agile delivery models
ImpactsOutweigh
Focus not just on Test
Execution Automation
Efficient and
Continuous Testing
Agility possible through
Fully automated QA
Process
Requirement Analysis
Test Design
ALM Update
Test Scripts Development
Test Execution
Test Logs
Test Reporting
Test Closure

11. Costly &
Complicated
Adoption!
Challenge in adapting to
complicated tools amidst
project deadlines
No Transparency on
Project Health
Cumbersome to monitor
and maintain KPIs in
multiple forum
Delayed
Feedback!
Unproductive days due
to bad builds and test
failures caused by
environmental issues
Huge Effort spent!
Multiple test runs a day &
continuous investigation of
failures leading to
considerable effort spend
Challenge 3
Simplify Test Analysis & Reporting

12. 360 degree
Quality
Functional
Performance
Security
Accessibility
Resiliency
Usability Need to go beyond
functional assurance for
better customer experience
Need to have early feedback
on non functional areas like
performance and security
needs
Challenge
Challenge 4
360 Degree Quality Assurance

13. Challenge 5
Need solution to measure Code coverage
There are too many test cases which test the same code path
A tester is not aware of the areas that have not been tested
Redundant
& non-productive
Incomplete
& un-tested
Conventional requirements-based testing of code tends to result in considerable over-testing
without the guarantee of complete coverage
Focusing on high
value tests?
Facilitating faster
Stabilization of final release ?
Enough testing
in place ?
Impact - This typically results in additional QA cost and extended testing timelines which in turn
impact project success

14. A Vision for Digital IT Industry
ZERO TOUCH QA
Adopt next-generation testing practices to test early, often, automatically and continuously

15. 1 Automated Functional Testing
Simplification/ Script less Automation
Challenge
01 Getting the existing team to
upskill in programming
language to automate
02 Meeting the current project
deliverables and upskilling
puts stress on the testers
03 To retain the domain
knowledge that enables
quality product delivery
Solution
Simplify the various types of
automation using a BDD
construct
Example: Karate for API test
Benefits
Enabled 90% of existing team
for progression and regression
automation
Reduced test automation effort
by 60%

16. 1 Automated Functional Testing
UI Test Simplification
Then I enter the text {103 John F Kennedy Pkwy, STE 234} into {Billing Street} Text Area
Then I enter the text {New York} into {Billing City} Text Box
Then I select the drop down value as {Available} in {Customer Status}
Then I select the {Active Account} checkbox
Then I select the {Current Date} date for {Data Update Date} field
Then I click on the {Edit} Button
Control 1. Identify Patten (Generic XPATH )
Text Area //label[text()='"+ LABEL +"']/following::td[1]/textarea
Text Box //label[text()='"+ LABEL +"']/following::input[1]
Check Box //label[text()='"+ LABEL +"']/following::input[1]
Date Field //label[text()='"+ LABEL +"']/following::td[1]//span[@class='dateFormat']
Button //input[@value='"+ LABEL +"']
