In the world of software development, ensuring top-notch application quality while optimizing resources is a must. Tricentis has transformed the testing landscape by allowing the integration of Testim with two of its top solutions: SeaLights and qTest. These integrations make test automation smoother, optimize testing efforts, and improve test management, allowing teams to focus on quality and speed. 

Automation with Testim 

Testim is a powerful test automation tool designed to simplify and speed up the testing process. Using AI, it creates, executes, and maintains tests, cutting down on manual work and boosting test coverage. With Testim, teams can automate complex workflows and ensure their applications are thoroughly tested before release. 

Key features: 

  • AI-Powered test creation: Automatically generate tests based on user interactions and application behavior. 
  • Smart locators: Ensure tests can handle changes in the application’s UI. 
  • Self-healing tests: Automatically adjust tests to accommodate changes in the application, reducing maintenance efforts. 

Optimization: SeaLights 

SeaLights is a continuous quality optimization platform that enables development and QA teams to release high-quality software quickly. By utilizing AI and machine learning, SeaLights provides valuable insights into test coverage throughout the development lifecycle, helping teams focus their testing efforts where needed most. 

SeaLights acts as an X-ray for your software, offering clear visibility into its overall health and quality. It tracks coverage for individual apps, entire projects, and specifically for new and modified code. This detailed view allows teams to pinpoint areas needing improvement and understand the trend of coverage for recently changed portions, assessing the effectiveness of their testing strategy and quality culture. 

Key features: 

  • Comprehensive code coverage: Detailed analysis for every test type, including unit, component, API, integration, end-to-end, functional, and manual tests. 
  • Quality gates: Block untested code changes from reaching production, ensuring high-quality releases. 
  • Test optimization: Prioritize the most relevant tests based on code changes, reducing execution time, and eliminating unnecessary tests. 

 

SeaLights fosters a culture of continuous quality improvement by proactively identifying testing gaps and creating new quality processes with relevant KPIs. This collaborative approach prioritizes immediate stability and release readiness while fostering long-term code quality and proactive risk reduction. 

Testim + SeaLights 

The integration of Testim and SeaLights bridges the gap between test automation and quality intelligence. This connection allows teams to gain insights into the test coverage of their user stories and lines of code, revealing where gaps exist. With this information, teams can focus their testing efforts precisely where it is needed most, ensuring that no critical areas are overlooked. 

Key features: 

  • Optimized test execution: Run only the tests needed for a given change, saving costs and resources. 
  • Identified coverage gaps: Pinpoint areas within a web application that require added testing, increasing overall quality. 
  • Quality gates: Block untested code changes from reaching production, ensuring high-quality releases. 

Management: qTest 

Adding qTest to the mix brings robust test management capabilities to the table. qTest offers a centralized platform for managing test cases, tracking progress, and reporting results. This integration ensures that all aspects of testing are effective, from planning to execution to analysis. 

Key features: 

  • Centralized test management: Manage all test activities on a single platform, improving collaboration and visibility. 
  • Enhanced reporting: Detailed reports and analytics help teams understand testing progress and outcomes, helping informed decision-making. 
  • Interactive dashboards: Visualize testing data with customizable dashboards to quickly identify issues and track progress. 

qTest and Testim Integration 

The integration of qTest and Testim combines the strengths of both tools to provide a comprehensive testing solution. This powerful combination enhances visibility, efficiency, and collaboration within the testing process, making it easier for teams to manage and execute their tests. 

Key features: 

  • Unified test management: Link tests in Testim with qTest projects to offer a single view of all test activities. Test results from Testim are automatically displayed in qTest, giving teams a comprehensive overview. 
  • Increased visibility: Consolidate test results from Testim and other tools like Tosca and Selenium in qTest for broader visibility into the quality of web applications. View detailed test results, including screenshots, console logs, and network logs, directly within qTest. 
  • Streamlined collaboration: Simplify the process of managing and executing tests, making it easier for teams to collaborate and share findings. Track progress, analyze trends, and make informed decisions based on real-time data. 

Using qTest and Testim together is straightforward. Connect Testim to qTest through settings and configurations, and link specific tests in Testim to qTest projects. This setup allows teams to see the results of Testim test runs in qTest, providing a seamless and integrated testing experience. By using this integration, organizations can improve their testing processes, enhance collaboration, and ensure the delivery of high-quality applications. 

Benefits 

The integration of Testim with SeaLights and qTest offers significant benefits, including improved efficiency, faster time to market, and reduced risk. By automating test creation, execution, and maintenance, Testim helps businesses accelerate their testing processes, allowing them to release high-quality applications more quickly. SeaLights improves test execution by finding and running only the necessary tests, reducing testing time and costs. This targeted approach ensures that teams focus on critical areas, minimizing the risk of bugs escaping into production. qTest elevates test management by providing comprehensive visibility into testing activities, facilitating better planning and decision-making. The centralized platform improves collaboration and refines workflows, enabling teams to be more productive and deliver software faster. 

Wrapping up 

The integration of Testim with SeaLights and qTest represents a significant advancement in the field of software testing. By combining test automation, optimization, and management, Tricentis empowers teams to deliver high-quality applications efficiently and effectively.
