Benefits of Test Automation

WerkMATE has identified and solved the biggest challenges to Test Automation:

Faster time to market:

Automated testing speeds the test cycle thus improving the time it takes to release new products and features. It eliminates manual execution of identical test scripts and test cases perhaps thousands of times to ensure that your product can handle any call environment it’s thrown into — and that has to happen each time a new product, new feature, or upgrade is introduced.

Improved Labor Efficiency and Reduced OPEX:

Equipment designed to run test calls is not designed to manage the administrative tasks, such as performing provisioning and query functions during a test and gathering logs after the tests are completed. Automation also allows testers to move away from mundane testing to more challenging tasks, such as trying to track down a memory leak or crash that requires manual effort to duplicate. Regression tests, as an example, are perfect candidates for automation.

Improved Capital Efficiency and Reduced CAPEX:

Testing can now run 24/7 and concurrently: after work hours, on weekends and during holidays, expanding the timeframe from only 8 hours/day. This vastly improves your ROI on the equipment in the lab. Also, you can control multiple devices from multiple vendors with a single test automation framework.

Single Shared Data Repository for Improved, Consistent Reporting:

Each tester has developed their own scripts and reasons for performing a test. The background and the results are not always well documented, or available to the test team members. Multiply these thousands of tests — times the number of engineers — times the number of different test tools and pieces of equipment, and the magnitude is staggering.

WerkMATE systematically covers all the test cases in a test suite for each release, and can compare results from release to release, improving the chances of revealing bugs that may be due to new or changed software. Results will all come with summary and detail information to better manage the testing effort.

Web–Based On Demand Access:

WerkMATE allows each tester to consolidate all the results of all the tests on all the equipment into a single repository, accessible anywhere, anytime on any web–enabled device.

WerkMATE provides an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps organize valuable test information and performs simultaneous, continuous regression testing across diverse equipment and systems. Running test suites 7 x 24 optimizes the use of costly test equipment, and minimizes the labor costs. WerkMATE allows you to improve testing productivity, speed up testing cycles, and decrease costs.
