Building and maintaining automation can take time. Even with a code-free solution at hand that makes test automation easier and less time-consuming, a lot of work goes into building robust and scalable automation.

The good news is, with the right approach, a lot of time and effort can be saved. In this guide, we take you through key considerations in connection with your test automation reviews that can help ease the process.

In addition to these guidelines, many enterprises will have rules and regulations they need to adhere to for security and compliance reasons. These are not outlined in this guide, but should be included in the process.

As a result of a thought-through, structured test automation review process, teams can expect more robust and scalable automation. As an additional benefit, going through the automation flow review process with your team will improve collaboration and enhance learning across functions. The process gives each person involved important insight into the test automation process and test automation results.

In the dynamic realm of test automation, Leapwork and Android Testify stand out for their unique capabilities. Leapwork is a no-code, AI-powered platform that simplifies test automation across web, Android, and iOS, making it accessible for non-technical users.

Leapwork Test Automation takes a customized approach to pricing, catering to businesses of various sizes with different needs. Instead of offering a fixed price list, Leapwork operates on a quote-based system. This method requires potential users to initiate contact with the company to discuss their specific needs. The advantage of this model is that organizations are provided with a pricing plan that is tailored to their individual circumstances, ensuring that they only pay for what they need. This personalized pricing strategy is ideal for companies seeking a solution that aligns closely with their business objectives and team requirements.

Android Testify, in stark contrast to Leapwork, is a free open-source software. It does not have a pricing structure, as it is available to anyone without cost. This model is particularly attractive for individuals, startups, or businesses looking to minimize expenses while still accessing test automation tools. The open-source nature of Android Testify also suggests a community-driven approach, where users can contribute to and benefit from collective improvements and updates to the software.

- trs cher, ce prix autant former les testeurs "manuels" sur du Cypress ou Playwright- courbe d'apprentissage longue- pas adapt aux petites quipes agiles- trs difficile d'exploiter le potentiel de toutes les fonctionnalits- l'approche low-code s'est avre tre un problme et non un atout

Commentaires :We use Leapwork for regression testing. Leapwork is integrated in Microsoft Azure DevOps. We have chosen for Leapwork because the testers are non-developers without developments skills. The tests are easy to make with building blocks. It is easy to make test a web application and desktop application in the same flow.

Commentaires :Leapwork has solved a big problem for my team in regards to performing our user acceptance testing on new releases and upgrades of the software are responsible for deploying. The platform feels a little immature at terms in terms of the community support but there is a very solid foundation there to grow on.

I think that the codeless interface is a brilliant idea and increases the efficiency of the testing team significantly. For my team, where testing is just one of the responsibilities we have when upgrading and patching the product, we don't want to start training people up on programming languages so that they could start writings tests. With Leapwork the learning curve is very shallow and people can get started right away.I am impressed with the selection of blocks that have been included and haven't required any functionality so far that there wasn't either a block for or a could make a simple sub-flow for.The strategy editor, which is used to decide how to identify the GUI elements being manipulated, is really really clever!

The debugging functionality needs to be improved. When running complicated flows with mutiple sub-flows inside, when a bug occurs it is difficult to dig down into the sub-flow where the problem occured, and even when you've reached it there is no context specific data on the variables feeding into or out of the trouble making block.I don't think that their approach to customer support is correct, and I have spent hours spinning my wheels as I carried out long conversations with their support stuff via a chat window on their homepage.Some of the initial steps that are required, like making a test flow to log onto the Leapwork agent server, were not clearly explained.

Commentaires :We are automating the tests for our digital contract platform to make sure our agents in the field always have a reliable software that doesn't have any bugs or issues. We have been able to create tests to cover all of our compliance for each state so that our agents and funeral homes are always 100% compliant with the contracts they create.

Commentaires :We use Leapwork to run flows for regression testing whenever a software update is released to test, acceptance or production sites. Also, we use Leapwork to frequently run flows to verify that specific pages, functions or API's remain available. We consider it a challenge to specify which flows we need, rather than how we can create and maintain them ... thanks to Leapwork.

Leapwork is a visual object oriented tool for creating flows that automate repetitive actions in the operation of software, both for desktop apps and for websites, ideal for testing! No matter how simple or complex the flow, there are actually little restrictions because the set of building blocks is very complete where each block also has a rich set of options to specify its actual behaviour. Better yet, the set may be expanded with custom made reusable subflows as blocks for commonly executed general actions such as logging into an environment or application or opening specific web pages, ensuring that the flows remain easy to understand at each level and easier to maintain. An extensive set of examples makes it very easy to give it a go and when I do then encounter a problem in applying Leapwork, the helpdesk helps me out using a very efficient chat. Flows may be executed interactively on a desktop or laptop or on a server, on BrowserStack or on a Selenium Grid, but also may be scheduled to run automatically at specific moments. Also, these schedules may be started from DevOps or by calling the REST API from e.g. Powershell scripts.

Leapwork is a very flexible and versatile tool that is fun to use. But when you flip that coin, it turns out it also is easy to make flows that are difficult to maintain. And yes, it takes some self-control not to step into this trap. But then, I made flows for adaptive websites that run on various window sizes and on test, acceptance and production sites ... all in the same flow! The reason why complex flows sometimes are not easy to maintain is because Leapwork has only limited options to execute flows step-by-step. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location in the flows where things go wrong and therefore need some tweaking. The tweaking itself is easy and straightforward, but finding out where and when and why is a challenge. Also, it is not easy to output specific information without the need to go through the complete log that the flow creates.

Commentaires :I can allocate my manuel resources for functiuonal testing, and have leaptest take care of regressions testing. I'm able to create automatic tests where I have a static outcome (expected result) everytime

For the last 8 months I've been using Leaptest, and so far I've not been disapointed, the basic functionalities are easy to use and the ability to create custom buildingblocks and implement my test cases in a 3rd party programs is great (the cases is running up against our Bamboo server)The support is very helpfull and take every request/question I make seriously. I do find bugs in the system, but these are getting fixed quite fast, updates comes regularly.What I like most about it is the fact that its easy to explain to non it workers how it works, this makes it a great tool for automated test, you dont need to understand code to be able to use it.

A desktop testcase tends to run slow when running it up against my own server.Using Selenium is great, but the same testcase can give different results when I run it up against Chrome, FF and IE , when a bug like this is found, support cant always fix it since they are dependant on a 3rd party program( ex. we must wait for Modzilla to release a new webdriver version)Also that lack of a proper debugging tool when debugging your test is really annoying, ex. when I use custom building blocks within a test case and it fails, I can only see what custom block failed, but not within it the specific location.

Commentaires :Lower TCO in Testing department. Able to quickly train up junior members of the team with a cost effective automation tool.Enhance product quality by creating more rapid testing against the product and test more frequently.

Benefits with the product:- Very easy to use. Able to allow junior team members to begin applying knowledge and skills in an automated environment.- Intuitive. There are blocks for many different applications.- Cost effective. Lowers TCO and overhead.- Effective increase in ROI. With lower TCO, ROI is gained by freeing up person cycles to work on more productive tasks.- Customizable. The product allows for creating unique blocks specific to your user environment.- Good value. The product cost is low compared to the cost of hiring additional bodies that are specifically dedicated to automation. The need to hire in a specific skill arena is diminished greatly with LeapTest. Tester skillsets are still needed but can be more broadly focused in many discipline arenas now.
