While cloud automation testing isn’t built for everything, it can handle the more arduous and repetitive tasks, so your team has more QA time for testing procedures requiring hands-on involvement. Testing methods worth automating include:
Functional tests: Determine whether individual functions are working as intended with various methods, including initial sanity or smoke tests, black box testing to confirm functionality, and more.
Regression tests: Because these tests require a massive amount of repetitive activity across multiple versions, regression tests are a great candidate for automation.
System tests: Automate specific actions from login to logout across your entire system to ensure everything is working smoothly.
Capacity tests: Automation can be implemented to test user traffic loads, stress test functions under heavy use, check for performance bottlenecks, and more.
Availability tests: Automation of these tests will keep you informed of potential outages caused by changes to infrastructure.
Security tests: Implement regularautomation to check for security flaws and other vulnerabilities in your updated code and across your entire application.
