Why Software Testing is Not Effective in Most Software Teams?
Advice: Adopt E2E (via UI) Test Automation.
Update (2024–02–22): My new article, “Three Types of Efforts in E2E (UI) Test Automation Clarified”, may help some readers understand why most E2E test automation attempts fail.
Today, I shared a Reddit Meme, “theRealtester”, with my thoughts on LinkedIn.
Within a few hours, my post received 100+ likes.
Interestingly, most of the comments are related to testing environments, such as:
“that’s why UAT it’s so important and a good practice in every agile team”
“The problem is different env coverage are not taken to the account by testers.”
“Few Reasons: -Different Environment , Scope of testing in this sprint,Timebox.
-If we give free hand to testers without timebox then they can find many bugs in short duration.”
That’s off the track. Then I realized two things:
- Most people just read the Meme (the image), not my words.
- They seem related more to manual testing, neglecting Test Automation.
