Test automation
Efficient test automation for optimal quality assurance
If software projects are tested too little for reasons of time, cost or resources, the quality of the software suffers, deadlines are postponed because errors are found too late and customer satisfaction decreases. At the same time, modern software solutions are often too complex to continuously ensure quality through manual testing. The solution lies in automated tests. These support consistently high software quality.

How we proceed with test automation
Test automation can be used at different levels, including
- Test of the GUI (to simulate user input)
- Testing the API interfaces (e.g. HTTP, SOAP, REST, JMS)
- Unit tests at code level (module tests, component tests)
- Performance and load tests
The selection of the right tool for the respective application is of paramount importance. The PTA uses a standardized procedure for this:
PTA prepares an individual feasibility study for you as well as a proof of concept (PoC) in which all relevant aspects are described, e.g. the survey of the current test process (test automation cannot be successfully introduced without a defined test process), the description of the systems to be tested and their interfaces, the description of the risks and the framework conditions as well as clearly formulated goals that are to be achieved by the test automation.
Based on the PoC, a tool selection is made (e.g. Ranorex, Selenium or TestComplete).
The selected tool is typically first used in a pilot project and integrated into the existing test process. Based on initial experience, the procedure will be adapted and the tool will be used for further task settings.
Of course, we are also happy to support you with ongoing test automation tasks, e.g. when adapting or expanding existing tests.
