How are you spending your weekends?Pick all that apply. . .

Short straw drawnIt’s your turn to spend the weekend working with IT and Operations testing to make sure the system update didn’t break the most important critical business process

Many hours inside on a sunny weekend waiting to test againWishing the user acceptance testing didn’t fail so you could go home and call the system ready

AM Saturday alarm to check if system is ready to testManual testing to make sure the end-to-end business processes work so Monday isn’t a disaster

Add your beverage of choiceIt is still a working weekend

• Manual testing takes time… your time (hours)

• Manually validating data is error prone

• Manual testing means doing the same repetitive task over and over

• For many people it’s not their day job

Getting Time Back with Test Automation. Now what?Real users at Ignite 2016: Worksoft Customer Conference

• “They can focus on new requirements and the next iteration.”

• “We are already starting multiple projects in different areas in different countries with the time saved now.”

• “It helps me to support other unplanned and parallel projects.”

• “Time. You can focus in the areas which really require attention.”Support New Projects in Parallel

• “We’re really saving our functional analysts time by using automation instead of manual test execution, and they’re able to spend their time supporting projects so we can deliver more projects back to the business faster.”

• “We are going ahead and giving the manual testers the ability to test new systems. They’re already on the next release while we are regressing the previous release, so that’s the time back to our users and our testers.”

• “Now that we don’t have people manually testing like we used to day after day, we can spend more time focused on the business directives for our software.”

• “There are several activities that our team members engage in for doing regression testing, and it requires a lot of laborious work. We were able to automate that and give the time back to them, so that they can focus on more intelligent testing, which is required and which is more focused on the changes.”
