Offshore Test Automation - Unparalleled Accuracy, Precision, and Insight

For some types of product assessment and quality assurance activities, automated test tools can vastly improve the accuracy of the results that are attained. For example, for assessment procedures such as regression testing or measuring the product’s ability to handle heavy loads, automated tests provide an unparalleled level of accuracy, precision, and insight.

The Mantra team has accumulated a great deal of experience developing and implementing automated test tools that meet our clients’ specifications. We will partner with you to design appropriate automated test procedures, custom scripts, and test suites based on your firm’s unique needs and parameters.

E-Testing for Excellent Performance
In the Internet era, e-testing has attained a great deal of importance, emerging as a centerpiece of many firms’ quality assurance activities. As a key part of fostering its own strategic growth, Mantra has focused on developing this activity as a core competency.
The Mantra team’s unique approach to e-testing is developed based on architectural and functional specifications. Our e-testing services include:

• User interface
• App/program interface
• Databases
• Multi-layer integrations

Code Driven Testing Automation Solutions
Keeping up with a growing trend in software development, Mantra offers the use of testing frameworks such as the xUnit frameworks (for example, JUnit and NUnit). This allows our clients the execution of unit tests to determine whether various sections of the code are acting as expected under various scenarios. Test cases describe tests that need to be run on the program to verify that the program runs as expected. Some of the Tesitng Automation solutions that Mantra can provide:

• Regression Testing Automation
• Performance and Load Testing Automation
• Security and Penetration Testing Automation
• Scalability Testing Automation
• Testing Auromation Process and Scripts

Code driven test automation is a key feature of Agile software development, where it is known as Test-driven development (TDD). Unit tests are written to define the functionality before the code is written. Only when all tests pass is the code considered complete. It is more reliable because the code coverage is better, and because it is run constantly during development rather than once at the end of a waterfall development cycle. The developer discovers defects immediately upon making a change, when it is least expensive to fix. Finally, code re factoring is safer; transforming the code into a simpler form with less code duplication, but equivalent behavior, is much less likely to introduce new defects.

User Interface (UI) Testing
Many test automation tools provide record and playback features that allow testers to interactively record user actions and replay them back any number of times, comparing actual results to those expected. The advantage of this approach is that it requires little or no software development. This approach can be applied to any application that has a graphical user interface. However, reliance on these features poses major reliability and maintainability problems. Relabelling a button or moving it to another part of the window may require the test to be re-recorded. Record and playback also often adds irrelevant activities or incorrectly records some activities.
