Intelligent Test DESIGN AUTOMATION

Test design automation is the ability to automate the entirety of the testing process starting at an extremely high level. Tech Mahindra Automated Test Assurance (ATA), which is a Test Design Automation solution aptly addresses this space, enabling generation of test data, test scripts, and test cases automatically, effectively automating the design of the tests themselves. Test design automation is crucial because it “shifts left”. That is, it allows automation to be introduced earlier into the development process. In agile environments, in particular, the earlier you introduce testing the better. Secondly, it is the nature of automated processes that reduces or eliminates manual processes that are both expensive and error-prone. Test design automation introduces automation into the testing process at an earlier stage. This has all of the benefits you would expect from a higher level of automation, which are potentially enormous gains to efficiency and productivity. These effects are particularly pronounced when it comes to test maintenance, and many products in the space feature capabilities to assist further in this area. Test design automation allows you to test much more quickly than the alternatives. In an Agile world where development is only getting faster, this is quickly becoming necessary for testing to keep pace. In addition, with the increase to efficiency afforded by automatic test design, it becomes a practical proposition to procedurally and exhaustively test your applications. This can result in significantly increased test coverage – leading to fewer defects – and to more efficient coverage with fewer tests. The result is a more thoroughly tested application that provides a better experience for the end-user, which in and of itself is a driver for business value.

• Inadequate requirements coverage
• Missed / Repetitive / Incorrect test cases
• Tight release cycle
• High design defects
• Change request implementation complexity
• Unstable automation harness
• Test framework migration complexity
• Legacy system / no design documentation

• Auto generates test cases, test scripts and test reports from a system modelling approach
• Auto generates test scripts in multiple formats (eg. Excel, VB, Java, C#, MAGiX, OATS, etc.)
• Auto generates test documentations (Test plans in HTML, Word, PDF format)
• Drives design-to-execution test automation
• Integrates with any ALM and Modelling tools
• Delivers savings and improvement of up to 5x in terms of time, cost, quality and coverage
