YPS 2023.11 - 2023/11/29 - Pierre Gal - Elevating product quality with automated testing
This talk will explore:
Software Complexity: Gone are the days when a small team could master all aspects of software development. With the rise of multifaceted requirements, embedded software has become a crucial component in product development.
Rapid Bug Identification: Automated IoT testing significantly reduces the time gap between development and testing, enabling a more agile and efficient workflow. Imagine returning to work the next day with all identified issues neatly laid out rather than discovering them late in the development cycle, which leads to a longer time-to-market and increased costs.
Unattainable Manual Tests: Some tests necessitate days or even months of continuous testing, an impractical and costly proposition for manual execution. Automated testing not only automates such lengthy tests but also extends capabilities in areas like endurance testing, robustness, and performance measurement.
Balancing Automation and Human Expertise: Automated IoT testing excels at automating most manual tests. However, it's important to recognize that testing tools are not human replacements. Some testing aspects, like exploratory testing and evaluating user experiences, remain best suited to human testers.
