As automation capabilities grow, so do the related use cases. It’s not surprising that 80% of executives think automation can be applied to any business decision, according to a Gartner survey. But as implementation becomes easier and automation adoption more prevalent, your organization can quickly lose control, with too many automation projects happening in silos.

Have you ever considered the importance of test automation services in software development? There is growing user demand for advanced features and faster releases, Moreover, development teams are constantly pressured to deliver high-quality applications quickly. Test automation transforms the industry by enabling faster, more efficient, and reliable testing processes. Automation testing offers numerous benefits: It’s faster, more efficient, and cost-effective than manual testing.

According to Gartner’s 2023 report, 60% of the organizations surveyed automate their software testing to boost product quality, 41% reported using it to speed up deployment, and 29% say it helps alleviate their QA teams’ workload. Also, 43% of these organizations claimed that test automation results in higher test accuracy. Despite automation’s large-scale adoption and various benefits, many QA leaders and test engineers find its implementation challenging.

Quality assurance (QA) is a critical aspect of software development. It ensures that products function correctly, meet user expectations, and maintain high reliability. Without proper QA, software can be riddled with bugs and errors, leading to user frustration, security vulnerabilities, and financial losses. Companies reported 7 billion in losses in the US alone due to software bugs in 2020.

If you're noticing bottlenecks or disadvantageous data silos in your enterprise workflows, enterprise automation could be the answer.

We’ve integrated generative AI features deeply into our no-code test automation platform, Rainforest QA. Each of these features is designed to help you avoid the time-consuming and otherwise annoying work of keeping automated test suites up to date — so your software development team can stay focused on shipping, fast. In this video, our CEO, Fred Stevens-Smith, walks through what some of these genAI features look like in action.

While many tools exist to build and deploy your no-code APIs, your options are limited when your solution requires a custom or highly bespoke APIs that execute custom logic.

Integrations can be done efficiently with IPaaS tools. Quickly set up point-to-point connectors, add logic and orchestration, and the integration is done and configured. The difficulty comes with more custom and bespoke systems. For example, when custom fields are added to an ERP or CRM, when you need to integrate with a legacy system, or when there is no connector to interact with. Linx can assist in cases where high flexibility and customization are required.
