Pros And Cons Of Automation Programming Services And Testing

By Carol McDonald


A professional service automation or a PSA is one kind of software that is being designed in order to assist some professionals including IT consultants, lawyers, and auditors who are having projects with resource and project management for their clients. The accomplishment of this may be done through developing metrics in order to qualify and to quantify the processes involved in basic businesses, thus, improving the processes.

The PSA is typically made for some important functions including project management, documentation, time recording, billing, and labor utilization. Automation programming services Vancouver have been offering these features which can be integrated with the customer relationship management system or the CRM, accounting, and payroll systems. Through these, the overall operations will become more efficient.

The most possible result of this is to manage independent contractors and client projects much better, and thus, preventing revenue loss and billing cycles slowness. With the software, the users can also be allowed on integrating the industry metrics for understanding the operations much better which can help in improving both efficiency and profitability. For the continuous growth of businesses, project complexity and size are increased as well.

Before a software will be released performing some tests would be very important in order to prevent some further problems once the system has been used already. The most common type of testing that is being used is the automated testing. It automates the manual tests which are often used in most companies or organizations.

The process has been used with some tools, strategies, and artifacts which will reduce or will augment the human involvement or the manual processes. Traditional processes usually are considered to have involved some repetitive, unskilled, and redundant tasks. There are two minimal processes involved here, namely detailed test cases and standalone environment.

Detailed cases include the expected and the predictable results which are developed from design documentation and from functional specifications in businesses. While a standalone environment include a test database that is restorable to known constant. Just like the test cases, it can also be repeating during the modification of application.

There are a lot of benefits that an automated testing provides. These include being repeatable, reusable, fast, cost reduction, reliable, comprehensive, and better software quality. However, the benefits may be achieved only when appropriate tools are being used and when appropriate organizational areas are targeted for the deployment.

In the process of testing, some given guidelines will need to be followed and considered importantly by the testers. The important guidelines include robust, efficient, traceable, repeatable, clear, maintainable, self checking, necessary, independent, concise sufficient, and clear. Following the said guidelines will surely result to achieved benefits.

However, this may possibly bring some disadvantages as well. One is proficiency in writing test scripts. To debug the test script is the number one major issue at first, and whenever the scripts have some errors, deadly consequences are for sure, the results. This is a costly test maintenance for playback methods. Replacement of scripts is needed even for minor changes that may occur. And lastly, to maintain data files may be difficult.
