Test Automation

We increase the performance of your QA through automated testing on real devices in frontend, backend and through monitoring. 

Efficient and stable
development cycles

Automated testing can be integrated into different phases of software development. We will find the right time and the right solution for you.
Test automation can save time and money. Our tests interact with your system on real devices and simulate user input. Errors are detected in real time and you will receive the results right away. This ensures more stable development and maximum quality for your product. 
 
 

Test Automation Pyramid. Code level - unit tests - test review. API level - integration & system tests - load & performance tests, functional API tests, API monitoring. GUI level - E2E tests - regression tests, data-driven tests, end-to-end monitoring

 

Test Automation on all levels

Test methods at different levels of the test pyramid ensure structured and cost-efficient QA. At the code level, unit tests can be used to quickly isolate and check individual functions. At the API level, integration tests and system tests provide information on whether all interfaces work and the quality of performance is ensured. At the GUI level, user interaction is simulated and the overall availability and performance of the system is monitored by end-2-end tests. 

Tools & languages we work with

GUI Testing

Do you want to improve your QA processes sustainably and save time and costs? Our GUI tests give you insights into what your users think, while we record the performance of your product in real time.  

Through Test Automation more tests can be carried out in less time. This leads to an increase of test coverage, because scenarios can be tested that could be overlooked manually or not covered due to time constraints.

GUI Testing

Advantages

Time-money icon

Long-term time and cost savings
The tests can be carried out quickly and repeatedly, allowing faults to be detected and rectified at an early stage.

Stopwatch time icon

Fast execution
Automated tests can process large amounts of data faster compared to manual tests and perform complex calculations.

Path Fork icon

Parallelization
The tests can be run in parallel on several devices and are not tied to sequential execution.

_Devices-Icon

Dedicated & real devices
Realistic factors such as network speed and hardware properties can be integrated through tests on selected devices.

 

GUI Testing

The ideal time for use

_Haken_circle_outline_red
Regression tests

By automated regression tests, testers can focus on complex scenarios and exploratory testing. This improves test quality and allows potential problems to be investigated more thoroughly.

_Haken_circle_outline_red
Testing
of structured content

GUI tests are suitable for content-rich apps and websites in which the individual areas are structured in the same way, for white label solutions or for testing the same app/website in different languages.
_Haken_circle_outline_red
Data-driven tests
GUI testing is worthwhile for test cases with lots of different input data, as the consistent and fast execution significantly increases test coverage.

GUI Testing

Our most frequent use cases

We use GUI testing particularly for the QA of media libraries, in e-commerce, for newspapers, in the tourism industry or for our partners in public transport.

API & Integration Testing

You don't develop all the interfaces of your system yourself? Is your system based on numerous microservices? And the external interfaces have a negative impact on customer feedback? Our API and integration tests will help you to ensure that the API delivers the right data and responds appropriately to requests.

API & Integration Testing

Advantages

Stopwatch time icon

Faster developmnent cycles
Automated API tests validate changes faster and ensure the correct functioning of existing integrations.

Laptop hook icon

High test coverage
API tests offer comprehensive test coverage of all possible scenarios, from regular user interactions to negative tests.

Early error detection

API tests can already be used in the development phase and identify errors before they go into production.

_List gearwheel icon

Documentation
The tests serve as living documentation for API by describing the usage and expectations of different endpoints.

API & Integration Testing

The ideal time for use

_Haken_circle_outline_redIntegration of third-party providers
API testing checks the smooth and reliable communication of external interfaces.
_Haken_circle_outline_redMicro-service-architecture
For APIs between the microservices, tests ensure that communication between the microservices is error-free and that each service fulfills its function properly.
_Haken_circle_outline_redMobile applications
For customers with mobile applications, API testing improves app performance and reliability.
_Haken_circle_outline_redSingle-Page Applications (SPA)
SPAs often use APIs to communicate with the backend and exchange data. API testing ensures correct interaction (data transfer, authentication, authorization).
API & Integration Testing

Our most common use cases

Our API & integration testing is often used for ticketing, media libraries, in the real estate industry, in e-commerce, for banks and insurance companies.

Load- & Performance-Testing

Is your app or website expected to see increased access from your users, for example due to discount promotions or the launch of a new product? Our non-functional software tests check the performance of your system under a high workload. In the test scenarios, we incorporate the behavior of your target group using various scenarios. 

Load- & Performance testing

Advantages

Hand-heart-gearwheel icon

Optimizing the use of ressources
Load testing enables bottlenecks and inefficient processes to be identified and rectified at an early stage.

Battery loading screen icon

Ensuring low loading times
Load and performance tests ensure that the loading time is within a range that improves user satisfaction and reduces bounces.

_Eye icon

Unbiased perspective
Load testing provides an objective and unbiased assessment of a system's performance.
