Mastering Test Automation: Smarter Strategies, Tailored Solutions, and Tools for Success

Many clients come to us with a common request: automate all their existing test cases. The idea is simple—automation seems like a shortcut to saving time and money. But the reality is more complex. Automating all test cases doesn’t always lead to efficiency. In fact, it can result in more maintenance, higher costs, and unnecessary complexity.

Instead, we advocate for a risk-based approach. The first step is identifying the highest business risks and mapping them to existing test cases. From there, we refine or expand the testing scope, focusing on what truly matters. Often, this leads to fewer, more impactful test cases that cover critical risks, which, in turn, reduces testing time and costs.

By focusing on what’s essential, our clients benefit from faster test execution, fewer maintenance costs, and a quicker path to market—all while ensuring that key risks are thoroughly addressed.

The next step in smart testing is choosing the right Test Automation solution. Tools like Tricentis Tosca or UiPath Test Suite offer powerful options, but selecting the right infrastructure to support them is critical. While cloud services from these vendors may seem convenient, they aren’t always feasible due to company-specific security restrictions. This is where expertise makes all the difference.

For some organizations, an on-premises solution is the only way to meet functionality and security needs. However, setting up an on-premises infrastructure without expert support can be cost and time-consuming. Installation errors, mismatched configurations, and overlooked processes can quickly spend your budget and time. At Qnit, we guide you through this complexity by evaluating all options upfront. Our experts ensure that the infrastructure—whether cloud-based or on-premises—meets your requirements, integrates seamlessly with your processes, and stays within your budget.
