Automated testing has revolutionised modern software development.
Instead of relying on human intervention, automation testing tools track, manage and execute tests, which are written in line with specific scripts.
Did you know it costs $80 on average to fix defects early in development, compared with $7,600 during production1?
With manual testing vulnerable to human error, automated software testing ensures any issues are found quickly in the software development cycle. Our latest e-guide provides crucial insights into seamlessly incorporating test automation into your business operations.

'Offering a multitude of benefits that enhance the QA process - while unlocking powerful new opportunities to keep your customers happier - if you’re not planning to introduce automated testing tools soon then you’re at risk of falling behind.'
'Automation increases test coverage, so costly bugs can be identified and remedied quickly. Meanwhile, methods such as parallel testing - running multiple automated test scripts at the same time - dramatically reduce the amount of time needed to execute tests. The result? You can bring new software updates to market faster, shortening release cycles.'

“The most common error in software testing is untested or broken code, accounting for over 60% of cases2. From security vulnerabilities to software not operating as expected, all of this impacts a consumer’s perception of a brand and its service.”
- Paweł Kuczmański
“Research has shown 85% of development managers saying it’s becoming harder to deliver innovation faster, without compromising on quality and increasing the risk of bugs in production3. But test automation allows you to do just that - deliver innovation faster.”
