The challenge for CIOs

In the current landscape, CIOs face a growing challenge: stagnant budgets versus rising expectations. The pressure to optimize resources and improve efficiency is evident, and in this context, process automation presents itself as an indispensable tool.

SIPSA offers a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses these challenges through TAST, a complete test automation tool, and its specialized testing services.
Therefore, the key to success is how to reconcile Quality with a scenario of deviations in Time and Cost? The answer is clear: Doing more with less effort. How? By automating the Testing Process.

Automation: The key to testing efficiency

Software testing is a crucial component of ensuring the quality and smooth operation of any application. However, manual testing processes can be slow, costly and error-prone. Test automation emerges as an effective solution to optimize this process, bringing numerous benefits:

  • Cost reduction: by speeding up testing and minimizing repetitive manual efforts. Although it requires technical skills, it improves software quality and speeds up development, enabling more cost-effective and efficient delivery of high-quality products.

  • Increased speed: Automated processes can execute tests much faster than humans, allowing more tests to be run in less time.

  • Increased accuracy: Automated processes are less prone to human error, ensuring more accurate test results.

  • Improved coverage: Automation allows for more comprehensive testing, covering a wider range of scenarios and use cases.

  • Freeing up resources: By automating repetitive testing tasks, human testers can spend their time on more strategic tasks, such as analyzing results and identifying complex issues.

TAST is an advanced framework that maximizes automation throughout the testing process from the end-user perspective. This codeless solution enables testing teams to design, implement and execute tests efficiently and accurately. TAST features a layered architecture that uses process diagrams with standard UML notation, facilitating communication between test teams and users. This intuitive interface reinforces user involvement in the testing and acceptance processes.

SIPSA offers a holistic approach by providing TAST along with specialized testing services, tailored to the unique needs of each organization. Test cases are defined independently of the system under test (SUT), which facilitates their reusability and adaptability to different projects.

In addition, TAST introduces the adapter concept, which allows mapping test cases to the SUT and generating test data. This provides testers with a wide selection of predefined functions to successfully interact with the system under test. With specific adapters for technologies such as GUIs, desktop applications, APIs, databases, files, legacy systems, MQ queues and more, TAST can automate a variety of test types, such as integration, functional, system, acceptance and accessibility testing.

SIPSA's testing services complement the TAST tool, offering a comprehensive methodology that encompasses test design, implementation, execution, and analysis. This approach ensures that organizations achieve optimal results and a significant return on investment.

By choosing SIPSA as a strategic partner, CIOs can be confident that they are investing in a comprehensive solution that optimizes operational efficiency, improves the quality of products and services, and accelerates development cycles. SIPSA and the TAST tool enables organizations to stay competitive in a constantly evolving market, meeting the quality and speed expectations that customers demand.
