- 8. 8 Part 1: Building Blocks, Test Suite Product Overview • What is Software Testing, • Why Software Testing is Required • Typical Test Types and Levels • Continuous Testing and Challenges • Introduction to UiPath Test Suite • Test Suite and UiPath Automation Platform Revolutionize automated testing for your software, automation, and QA teams with Test Suite.
- 10. 10 What is Software Testing? Software testing is the process of verifying that a software meets certain requirements and behaves as expected.
- 11. 11 Why Software Testing is necessary? Software systems are now integral part of our daily lives.
- 12. 12 What does a traditional test process look like? Plan Phase: • It all starts with SME or Product Owner setting the testing objectives in the plan phase • The objectives are often derived from functional or non-functional requirements • The Testing approach, testing schedule and the success criteria are also addressed in this stage Design Phase: • Transform the objectives into a list of high-level, periodized test cases • Prepare Test data and identify test environment Implementation Phase: • Create all the assets needed for execution, Manual or Automated Test Cases • Group test cases in test sets • Build the test environment Execute Phase: • Run test sets according to the test plan • We can follow a defined schedule or test continuously with every code change • We can trigger testing manually or automatically. Analyze Phase: • The last stage should close the loop. Remember the goal of testing to provide data on the quality of software and identity risk related to software release. • Thorough analysis and different layers of reporting will offer the means to the stakeholders to make informed decision about the release go live or postpone.

Complexity ‘We don’t have enough skilled developers. Resources ‘We have fragmented delivery and compliance practices. No standardization. Governance ‘We don’t have the right tools. We have too many tools. Tooling

Shift Left Shift Right • Continuous testing means doing testing without interruption • Originally, the term continuous testing referred to the ability of executing automated tests as part of the software delivery pipeline to continuously obtain quality-related information about the software • Nowadays, continuous testing refers to the diffusion of software testing from a distinct as well as siloed pre- release phase to an ongoing, continuous activity
- 21. 21 Continuous testing (shift-left, shift-right) Shift-left is the practice of moving testing, quality, and performance evaluation early in the software development process, thus the process of shifting to the “left” side of the DevOps lifecycle. This concept has become increasingly important as teams face pressure to deliver software faster and more frequently with higher quality. Shift-left speeds up development efficiency and reduces costs by detecting and addressing software defects earlier in the development cycle before they get to production. Shift–right is the practice of performing testing, quality, and performance evaluation in production under real-world conditions. Shift-right methods ensure that applications running in production can withstand real user load while ensuring the same high levels of quality. With shift right, DevOps teams test a built application to ensure performance, resilience, and software reliability. The goal is to detect and remediate issues that would be difficult to anticipate in development environments.

- 38. 41 Scale with confidence with Test Suite Before Test Suite After Test Suite Workflow is tested with few verifications and limited data variations. Both the workflow and activities are unit tested thoroughly in an automated fashion. Workflow is published to production with no ability to monitor automation health with continuous testing. Workflow is published along with all test cases, allowing ongoing monitoring of automation health with continuous testing. Issues are fixed reactively as they are found, leading to unplanned maintenance and business disruption Issues are found in a staging or test environment, allowing for proactive maintenance. Build Build automations quickly, from the simple to the advanced Manage Manage, deploy, and optimize automationat enterprise scale Run Run automations through robots that work with your applications and data • Elevated risk of production disruptions • Higher rate of maintenance • Diminishing returns • Slower scaling • Maximize automation uptime • Lower rate of maintenance • Rapid return on investment • Accelerated scaling
