1. Introduction

Testing is an important aspect of the software development process. Automated testing aid in the speeding up of this step. Creating and monitoring such tests, on the other hand, requires the same amount of effort as maintaining code and specialised knowledge. These overheads can be reduced by using a visual programming paradigm. Automaton is meant to let non-technical people create test cases fast and easily. End-users may easily create and run processes thanks to the user-friendly interface. Users may simply incorporate Automaton into any current delivery framework because to its flexibility to interface with other technologies like REST APIs. There are several tools on the market for testing various aspects of an application, such as the user interface, backend, and UI. Automaton’s ability to create end-to-end tests that span the user interface (Web and Mobile apps), backend components, APIs, databases, and log files, as well as extensive test results, making it a comprehensive testing tool for your delivery framework.

Benefits

There are some advantages to automaton, that outweigh the benefits of any other technique. This tool makes it easier for the user to comprehend behaviour. The key benefit is that a user may use this tool without having any prior understanding of scripting languages. It’s built in such a manner that even users who aren’t familiar with testing will be able to follow the fundamental steps with ease. Because the tool has a low learning curve, anyone can pick it up fast. As a result, resource training costs are reduced. Data-driven testing may be supported by automaton, which saves time and effort.

You may reuse test cases numerous times with Automaton. The organisation saves time and money by reusing test cases. Another advantage is that we may reorganise test cases in our preferred sequence, which saves time. In Automaton, you can also generate test cases automatically. Automaton is the first solution to combine many functions onto a single platform, in addition to having a simple user interface.

Automaton can be used for running:

  1. Web test cases
  2. API test cases
  3. Database test cases
  4. Log test cases
  5. Mobile test cases
