In the previous articles we talked about manual testing, and the differences between manual testing and automation testing. In this article we will highlight the benefits and further show why it is important to automate shopify testing.
Consistency and Accuracy
Even though there are several things that need and require manual testing, it is important to highlight that the automation testing is more accurate and consistent. Simply write the code to complete and test several tasks, and there is no doubt that the given code will be more consistent and accurate in testing the particular feature or functionality it was written for.
Imagine you have to test the same thing multiple times, and you need to do all of that manually– starting from the beginning every single time. With automation testing, you’ve written the code, and every time you need to test the particular thing you just execute the code/script, and the testing is conducted. This brings us to the next point, which is time reduction/savings.
Time Reduction
As Shopify stores involve multiple functionalities, testing all of them manually can really acquire a huge amount of time. These functionalities can vary from simple/medium to complex and that’s when automation testing can come in hand. You can also increase efficiency by focusing your automation testing on the less complex tasks, while manually testing more complex functionalities. This combination method between the automation and manual testing can save a lot of time in process, and thus reduce any unnecessary additional expenses.
Regression Testing
Regression testing in simple words is known as re-running of the same tests to ensure that nothing was negatively affected due to the new updates, or code implementation. Shopify stores undergo many updates, bug fixes and new features implementation. In each process we need to re-test our stores to ensure that nothing was affected. This process can be very tiring. Automation testing can quickly verify and test your store much faster, time and time again, ensuring that nothing was affected as the new updates are launched and new features are implemented.
Improved Test Coverage
There is only a certain amount of tests and coverage that one person can cover during a certain period of time. With the automation testing you can write code and scripts to execute and test multiple devices simultaneously, and also execute automated tests constantly across different browsers.
Time is money, and money is time. Consider saving both with these easy Shopify automation techniques.
