With more than 50% of the industry still operating at just 30% of mobile test automation, it is clear that manual testing is taking a major portion of a testing team’s time. As we concede the need for both manual and automation services, and with penetrating down into the requirements of manual testing, let’s understand how teams can reduce the time it takes and even switch to an automated approach to testing.

Manual and Automation Testing: Analyze Your Existing Test Suite You and your testing team should be well positioned to optimize your test suites in one of the following ways: 

Scope out the immaterial manual tests per specific test cycles



Exclude the tests that steadily pass and do not add value



Ascertain and consolidate the duplicate tests



Put forward manual tests that are better suited for automation

The results should be a mixture of both manual and automation testing services, with the goal of shifting more towards automation tests.

Consider a Smooth Transition to Easier Test Frameworks In most cases, the blocker for increasing the test automation lies inside the quality team and is often related to a gap in the skills. Today, the most common mobile test automation tools are open source and require medium to high level development skills in languages like Python, Java, JavaScript and C#.

These skills are hard to find within the traditional testing teams. On the other hand, if quality assurance teams utilize the alternatives such as Behavior Driver Development solutions (BDD solutions), it creates an easier path towards automation by the virtue of using a common language that is easy to scale and get started.

Swing More Test Automation inside the Development Cycle While thinking about your existing test automation code and the level of coverage the code provides, there can be a practical coverage intersection between the manual and automated testing services. If the automated scripts are shared across the software development lifecycle and are also executed post commit on every build, it can shrink some of the manual validation work the testing team needs to do.

Also (amazingly related), by joining these forces with your test automation and development teams and having them help with test automation will reduce the workload and create smaller cycles resulting in more contented manual testers.

Final Words Majority of the businesses will continue to have an assortment of manual and automation testing.

Manual tests will never fade and in some cases, it is even a product requirement. But as you improve your overall testing strategy, capitalizing in techniques like BDD can make things much at ease for everyone involved with both manual and automation testing services all through the lifecycle.
