In this interview Katarina Behrens, a Senior Software Engineer in the Squish team at Qt Quality Assurance brings her wealth of experience and knowledge to the table as she talks about the world of automated testing.
Katarina begins by describing automated testing as harnessing the power of computing and continuous integration. She explains how test scripts and other automation tools are used to simulate user interactions with the user interface. These tests are then executed in an automated fashion, saving time and resources.
She shares a quote that encapsulates her views on manual testing: “If you want to annoy people in your organization, have them do lots of manual testing.” Katarina believes that manual testing is not cost-effective, doesn’t scale well, and wastes a lot of time.
Switching gears, Katarina talks about the benefits of automated testing. It saves costs, reduces expenses, and can be done on a large scale. But for Katarina, the most important aspect is the human element. By automating testing, you free up your team’s skills, intellect, and creativity, allowing them to focus on more productive and creative tasks.
Katarina then introduces us to Squish, the tool she works with. She likens Squish to a Swiss Army knife - it’s easy to use, easy to set up, and offers an all-in-one solution for automated testing. She contrasts this with the patchwork of different tools that some teams use, which can be difficult to maintain and don’t scale well.
She also highlights the versatility of Squish. It can be used to test a broad range of applications and toolkits, from Qt to Java, Windows, and Web. This makes Squish a valuable tool for any team working in software testing.
Finally, Katarina emphasizes the accessibility of Squish. It’s easy to set up, easy to start automating, and easy to start executing tests. This makes it a great tool for anyone, regardless of their level of experience in software testing.
