QA + AI: How Perfecto Scriptless Makes Test Automation More Intelligent

Introduction

Introduction

Hello everyone and thank you for attending today's webinar "QA + AI: How Perfecto Scriptless Makes Test Automation More Intelligent." Before we begin, I'd like to cover three housekeeping items for our viewers.

First, at the bottom of your audience console, you'll find a number of widgets for questions and additional resources. When you have questions for the presenter during the presentation, click on the Q/A widget and submit your question. We will answer as many questions as possible at the end of the demo and if we run out of time, we will get back to you via email.

Second, if you need any tech support during the webinar, please use the help option.

Third and finally, a copy of today's slide deck is available in the resources section at the bottom of your screen. We will also email you a link to the recording within the next few days.

With that, I will introduce our presenter for today, Nina Springer, Sales Engineer at Perforce (Perfecto's parent company). Nina, thank you for joining us today.

Presenter Introduction

Hi everybody, thank you for joining today. My name is Nina, and I am a Sales Engineer for Perforce, focused primarily on a scriptless platform.

Agenda

1. Opportunities and challenges for business testers
2. Common causes of insufficient web testing
3. Why scriptless intelligent test automation

We'll follow with a demo of the platform, illustrating how business testers can use scriptless intelligent test automation to improve test coverage.

Opportunities and Challenges for Business Testers

Automating test cases can take a long time and requires development skills, making it a challenge for both developers and non-developers. By enabling business testers to create scripts in the same way they manually test as end-to-end users, this platform not only saves time but also increases test coverage by involving everyone, including those who aren't typically part of the automation process.

Three Causes of Insufficient Web Testing

1. Inadequate Test Cases: Test cases are hard to determine, create, and prioritize. With intelligent automation, anyone with any skill set can create tests within Scriptless.
2. Unavailable Environments: Scriptless is a web-based SaaS solution, allowing access to all popular browsers and their latest versions on demand.
3. Testing Delays: Speed up test cycles by enabling business testers. This not only reduces time spent on test maintenance with self-healing algorithms but also fits into your existing CI/CD pipeline.

How Scriptless Intelligent Automation Can Help

• Increasing Test Automation Coverage: Enable your business testers who can complement code-based testing.
• Reducing Maintenance Time: Self-healing algorithms help minimize test maintenance.
• Enhancing CI/CD Pipeline: Seamless integration with your cloud environment.

Scriptless Intelligent Test Automation in Your Organization

• For Business Testers: Move from manual to automated testing with no code.
• Integration: Perfecto is tech agnostic, integrating well with existing frameworks and tools such as Selenium, Cypress, etc.

Key Features of Perfecto Scriptless

• Easy and Fast Test Creation: Create tests quickly and efficiently.
• Easy and Fast Test Execution: Execute tests with minimal time delays.
• Comprehensive Test Reporting: All reports and metrics in one place for easy access and understanding.

Demonstration

Nina demonstrates how to use Perfecto Scriptless by automating a test case for finding a vaccine and running the test across multiple browsers. She highlights key features such as test reusability, machine learning for self-healing, scheduling tests, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.

Test Creation

Using Chrome, Nina demonstrates creating a manual test flow and then converting it into an automated test.

Test Reusability

She shows how to reuse the previously created test steps in other projects to save time and increase efficiency.

Machine Learning Algorithm

Nina explains how the self-healing machine learning algorithm works by identifying elements through multiple attributes, making the tests robust even when minor UI changes occur.

Scheduling and CI/CD Integration

She covers how to schedule tests, set notifications for test failures, and integrate Scriptless with CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins and TeamCity.

Test Analysis

The smart reporting dashboard provides insights into job details, build summaries, and granular test step analysis, enhancing overall test management.

Conclusion

Nina concludes the demo by showcasing the ease of creating, reusing, and analyzing tests using Perfecto Scriptless and opens the floor to questions from the audience.

Q&A

Question: Does Perfecto Scriptless support testing of complex web apps?

Answer: Yes, our platform can handle complex web applications as long as they can be accessed through a URL.

Question: Does Perfecto Scriptless support web apps hosted on premises?

Answer: Yes, we support on-premises applications via site-to-site VPN or Perfecto Connect.

Question: How can intelligent test automation help in manual test reduction and business testers' empowerment?

Answer: By enabling business testers to create codeless automation scripts, we can increase test coverage and speed up the production process.

Question: What is the average time frame for transitioning from manual to automated testing?

Answer: While it depends on the complexity of your test scenarios, building scripts in Scriptless averages 4-6 times faster than writing selenium scripts.

With that, the session concludes, encouraging participants to reach out via email for any further questions.
