Whether it is a web or mobile application, testing is one of the most important aspects of the web/app development process. As the IT industry is leveraging test automation to make several complex activities fast and smooth, automated testing can be implemented to reduce human errors and save a lot of time. So, in this article, we will discuss how to set up test automation for the mobile web UI.

In the accelerated agile way of working, every firm demands a highly-skilled automation tester. Slowly, automation testing is replacing manual testing(though it cannot be done completely). Automation Testing is the key to the business success of the software industry. With automation, you can expand your business to a larger audience saving both time and effort. As an automation tester, it is very essential to have certain skills which help in testing the application better.

According to the ISTQB glossary, Regression is “degradation in the quality of a component or system due to a change”.

Pickerwheel is the UI element, specific to mobile devices that allows a user to pick a single value from multiple values displayed as a scrollable list. This UI element is available on both Android and iOS. Here, in this article, we will be discussing the automation of Picker Wheel specifically for iOS. Automation of an iOS-specific pickerWheel UI element via Appium using the XCUITest driver is quite simple. Let’s look at 2 approaches to do so below:

With every software enhancement, the final product that is being delivered to the customer includes the new feature as well as the existing ones. The focus of Agile teams is to maintain consistency in delivering a satisfactory final product to the customer within the timeline. This is ultimately achieved by sequencing the testing of software modules that stand important from the customer’s perspective. Hence the need for test case prioritization arises.

During the entire SDLC phase, there are various kinds of testing performed at different stages. Each stage of testing has different objectives to fulfil. The testing phase starts with unit testing followed by integration testing, system testing, system integration testing, acceptance testing, and regression testing. During each phase of testing, if something does not work as per specifications mentioned, the defects that are detected by the testers are raised and assigned to the developers to fix it.

When you are delivering a web-based or mobile-based software in the competitive market, you need to ensure your website functions smoothly on every type of environment as intended. We do ‘Cross Browser Testing’ to meet the end user expectations across different web browsers. If your application is compatible enough, it will definitely help in obtaining a good business.

Software Testing has changed a lot! Earlier, manual testing ruled the world of testing, however, test automation increasingly became a reality in most organizations developing software. Testing continued to evolve, and it took advantage of technology innovations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one such technology that has made a substantial contribution to automation in general. But, can AI-driven test automation significantly enhance test automation?

To improve the quality of a software product built by developers, software testing is the key. Testing is essential to ensure that the end product delivered is stable and works according to the required specifications. As software testing plays a significant role in the delivery of the final product, it is necessary to consider that the testing process must involve accurate, exhaustive test cases and firm test strategy.

Advancements in technology improve the lives of people and save time and money for organizations year after year and there is no reason that the next year, 2020 will be any different. When new techniques and technologies come to the fore, people are hesitant to use them at first but once they become popular and prove to be useful and time-saving, people start using them more.
