What are the best strategies for parallelizing automated tests in Process Automation?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Process automation is the use of software and technology to automate repetitive and complex tasks, workflows, and processes. It can help businesses improve efficiency, quality, and scalability of their operations. However, process automation also requires testing to ensure that the automated solutions work as expected and meet the business requirements. Testing can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially if there are many test cases, scenarios, and environments to cover. One way to speed up testing and reduce costs is to parallelize automated tests, which means running multiple tests at the same time on different machines or threads. In this article, we will discuss some of the best strategies for parallelizing automated tests in process automation, and how they can benefit your automation projects.

1 Choose the right testing framework

One of the first steps to parallelize automated tests is to choose a testing framework that supports parallel execution. A testing framework is a set of tools, libraries, and conventions that help you create, organize, and run automated tests. Some popular testing frameworks for process automation are Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber, and Robot Framework. These frameworks have features that allow you to run tests in parallel, such as annotations, parameters, groups, tags, and suites. You should choose a testing framework that suits your automation needs, language preferences, and coding skills.

One thing that will definitely help in process automation is adopting BPM (Business Process Management). It is an effective tool by whoch we can save our time by avoiding manal work activity.

2 Design your tests for parallelization

Another important step to parallelize automated tests is to design your tests for parallelization. This means that you should make your tests independent, atomic, and stateless. Independent tests do not depend on each other or on external factors, such as data, order, or environment. Atomic tests focus on one functionality or scenario, and do not have multiple steps or assertions. Stateless tests do not share or modify any global or static variables, and do not rely on any previous or subsequent tests. These characteristics make your tests more reliable, maintainable, and scalable when running in parallel.

3 Use a test runner or a build tool

A test runner or a build tool is a software that helps you execute and manage your automated tests. It can help you parallelize automated tests by providing options to configure how many tests to run at the same time, how to distribute them across machines or threads, and how to handle dependencies, failures, and retries. Some examples of test runners or build tools are Maven, Gradle, Ant, Jenkins, and TestNG. You should use a test runner or a build tool that integrates well with your testing framework, automation tool, and reporting system.

4 Leverage cloud-based or distributed testing platforms

A cloud-based or distributed testing platform is a service that provides you access to a large pool of machines or devices that you can use to run your automated tests in parallel. It can help you parallelize automated tests by offering scalability, flexibility, and convenience. You can run your tests on different browsers, operating systems, and resolutions without having to maintain your own infrastructure. You can also run your tests faster, cheaper, and more securely than on your local machines. Some examples of cloud-based or distributed testing platforms are BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, LambdaTest, and Selenium Grid.

Cloud based testing platforms provides following benefits 1. It offer elastic infrastructure for rapid scaling of testing resources. 2. Eliminates the need for infrastructure management, freeing up testing teams. 3. Operates on a pay-as-you-go model, reducing costs. 4. Provides a centralized workspace for enhanced collaboration. 5. Can be scales effortlessly to accommodate new requirements. 6. Cloud platforms integrate with existing tools for a smooth transition. 7. Provides real-time insights for data-driven decisions.

5 Monitor and optimize your parallel testing performance

The last step to parallelize automated tests is to monitor and optimize your parallel testing performance. This means that you should measure and analyze the results, feedback, and metrics of your parallel testing, and look for ways to improve them. You should check the test execution time, test coverage, test quality, test reliability, and test cost. You should also identify and resolve any issues, errors, or bottlenecks that affect your parallel testing, such as synchronization, concurrency, isolation, or communication. You should aim to achieve the optimal balance between speed, accuracy, and efficiency of your parallel testing.
