Introduction

In this age of digital transformation, businesses are looking for a rapid change to their applications and IT ecosystem to meet the rising demands of their customers. Hence, digital quality assurance becomes an essential aspect to the SDLC to accelerate the application delivery. Although manual testing is vital in the testing process, companies do not rely only on manual testing because of its time-consuming nature and considerable human resource investments. To make progress toward enabling continuous quality, IT leaders should look for innovative automation frameworks that can bridge the gap between Developers, Testers, and Business users. For example, the Hybrid framework in selenium merges the benefits of Data-driven and Keyword-driven frameworks. It is a simple and practical framework that enables manual testers to develop test cases just with the keywords, test data, and object repository without any coding.

Enterprises follow Agile and DevOps practices for faster releases and high-quality products. Software Test Managers embrace an open-source strategy by familiarizing their team with the required skills and available test automation tools for functional testing of user interfaces (UIs) and application programming interfaces (APIs). Test automation solution with hybrid test automation frameworks accelerates the creation and maintenance of your automation. Obviously, it requires investing in people as well as tester-augmented solutions. Some more benefits include rapid bug detection, reusable test scripts, and reduced human intervention while running the test scripts. However, for brands to possess the end-to-end benefits of the hybrid test automation frameworks, they should consider independent next-gen Quality Assurance solutions through established service providers. The trustable provider should have already developed fully functional test automation frameworks (with a decent install base across various customers) that need simple customization to ensure faster and continuous releases.

Sun Technologies’ SWAUT, the hybrid test automation framework, delivers exceptional value for staging and post-production environments. Our hybrid framework seamlessly connects the complete life cycle of a business process, from “process intelligence” to “quality assurance.” It helps enhance efficiency and reduces overall project costs by eliminating redundancy of multiple test cases (Grouping Tests based on Suites definition) and streamline testing projects.
