Can you automate everything? Or should you?
• Tests can be automated but choose well what to automate
• Defect creation and analysis will be manual (AI will take time to achieve
this goal)
• Some collateral activities can be automated (e.g. environment setup,
reporting, etc)
• Try to focus on what gives you most value and automate the repetitive
tasks
Automation

The cost of bugs
Code Complete, Steve McConnell, 2004
• The cost of fixing bugs grows exponentially depending on the phase in which
they are detected
• The fix cost also depends on the stage where bugs are initially introduced
=> Automated testing to the rescue!
Phase in which a Defect is
introduced
Phase in which a Defect is detected

• For Test Executions in specific
status
• In progress Test Execution workflow status
• After the first run
• Resolved Test Execution workflow status
• When all runs are in final status
• Resolution for Resolved Test Execution

Real status of requirements with in-context information
With Xray:
• Real-time information about the coverage status of the requirement for a given version
• Real-time information about the associated test results, for a given version
• A ”requirement” may be any issue type you may have; test coverage can be made in any issue type
![Page 16: Xray for Jira - How to automate your QA process](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042611/5a6489e97f8b9a27568b5f5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Provides a quick way of evaluating the current (coverage) status of your project's
requirements, so you will be able to see if they are ready to be or not.
