Strategic Alignment: Cricket Fielding Positions and the Paradigm of Breez Script-less Automation

Cricket fervour in India is at a high pitch with Cricket World Cup 2023 reaching its peak stage.? India is the first team to be qualified for the Semi Finals, other teams trying hard to reach that stage.?

Strategies, precision and protective positions applied in the game of cricket are akin to Automation Testing.? Following is an effort to bring analogy between the player roles and fielding positions in cricket and the features of Breez No Script Automation solution.

1.?? Bowler (Speed and stop bug leakage):? As a Bowler in the field, whether Fast or Spin, it is his endeavour that runs are not leaked and finish the innings fast.? Analogues to it, Breez Script-less Automation ensures the enhanced delivery speed and low defect leaks with its easy to use interface and speed of execution.

2.?? Wicket Keeper (Script-Less Testing as a Guardian):? In the modern era of Third Umpire, he plays an important role to advice the bowler and captain on referrals apart from catching the thin snicks and guarding the stumps. Similarly, Breez Solution acts as a guardian for the Target application through thorough testing, ensuring that potential bugs or errors are caught early and referred to the development team.

3.?? Slips (Catch the Edges, flexibility):? Slip fielders are always alert to the errors to catch the edges in flexible positions. Breez Script-less automation with its intelligent Data Generation is adept at identifying the edge cases for subtlest of errors and exceptions and provides flexibility in capturing evidence for even the

4.?? Point (Precision): Point fielders are generally placed at the 30-yard circle, emphasizing precision to catch the flashing strokes and save boundaries. Breez’s intelligent script-less automation allows for precise and targeted testing, ensuring that intermediate or final values are verified in the application screens, Excel, PDF etc., with flexibility of exact match, range or with tolerance.

5.?? Cover / Extra – Cover (Risk Mitigation): Fielders are placed to shield the region of cover & extra cover, minimizing the risk of boundaries through aggressive shots. Breez helps in minimizing the risk of undetected bugs or errors thru comprehensive test coverage with modern 2FA features like Captcha, QR Code, OTP etc., across different layers of the application.

6.?? Mid-off and Mid-on (Centralized Control): Placed at various distances, they ensure runs are controlled and mishits are caught. Flexible Script-less automation by Breez offers centralized control over testing process, monitor and manage test cases and execution effectively from a central location

7.?? Long-on and Long-off (Scalability and wide access): Positioned to cover the long boundaries, they emphasize covering a larger area with athletic effort. Breez facilitates the scalability of testing thru Server Side Execution and wider access with its Unified interface covering Web, API, Mobile and Mainframe/AS400 applications.?

8.?? Deep Square Leg and Fine Leg (Complex flows, Scenarios, calculations): Located to cover the leg-side boundary, trap the hits from short ball and equipped to handle challenging shots. Similarly, Breez can handle complex test scenarios, conditional flows and calculations without the need for intricate scripting, ensuring those functionalities are thoroughly tested before release.

9.?? Short Leg / Silly Point (Rapid Response): Positioned close to the batsman, they are ready for quick reflexes. Script-less automation testing allows for rapid testing and quick adaptation to changes thru its Configure and Execute Model, enabling integration with CI/CD tools, allow testers to quickly respond to any modifications in the application's requirements

10.?Deep Third Man (Invisible & Fall-back Support): Positioned deep at the boundary in the arc to the right of wicketkeeper ( for a right handed batter), hidden from the view this fielder provides a fall-back option in case the ball gets past the slip fielders and also to take care of “Upper Cut”. Breez facilitates invisible head-less execution, with a fall-back support thru local execution using desktop application.? Fall back support available through easy to use process templates & Scheduled execution, ensuring that testing efforts remain simple yet comprehensive

11.?Forward / Backward Short-leg (Flexible & Robust):? Positioned close to the batter, they are expected to be agile to catch on spinning tracks and strong enough to take the brunt of hard hits.? Likewise, Breez provides agility and flexibility to kick-start and automate any application quickly yet being Robust for large scale testing

By leveraging the strengths of Breez, just like intelligent and strategic fielding positions in cricket, testing teams can ensure comprehensive test coverage, precise error detection, and streamlined testing processes, contributing to the overall quality and reliability of the software application.
