Automated Testing: Keeping Up with the Times
eBooks
Software deployments have gotten faster and more complex. Can your Automated Testing Tool hold up? Here’s all you need to know.
Since 2015, many companies have been transitioning from semiannually or quarterly releases to weekly, daily, and even releases by the minute. Organizations such as Amazon release software roughly every 15 seconds. Mobile Apps are released to their Mobile App Stores at the rate of 1,000 per day. Applications that were once built to be monolithic are becoming technology stacks that integrate many different pieces of software that perform different functions. In fact, Netflix has a technology stack of over 42 separate applications. Legacy Automated Testing Toolsbuilt for architectures from over 10 years ago cannot keep up. Built originally for a limited set of technologies and the Waterfall Methodology, these tools, instead of being re-architected from the ground up, have simply had new features bolted on just to stay relevant.
