QA Testing Tools – Tricentis

A growing number of companies have adopted Agile and DevOps methodologies to accelerate software development and speed to market. To integrate testing into this software delivery model, many development and QA teams require new QA testing tools that overcome the limitations of legacy systems. Most legacy tools don’t integrate with open-source test automation solutions, making it impossible to successfully integrate testing into continuous delivery pipelines. Testing inevitably gets pushed to the end of the development sprint when fixing bugs that are embedded in the code becomes more difficult, time-consuming, and costly. QA becomes a bottleneck, software releases are often delayed, and the quality of the product tends to suffer.

To accommodate testing in an Agile or DevOps environment, companies need QA testing tools that are:

• Versatile. QA testing tools must be easy to use, consistent, and easy to integrate with existing tools across the software delivery pipeline.
• Distributed. The right tools must break down functional silos, allocate workloads across teams, and empower testers to collaborate.
• Scalable. Testing tools must be able to accommodate a quickly expanding test suite, allowing QA teams and processes to keep pace with the speed and complexity of development.
• Analytics-driven. Modern test management tools must have actionable analytics that streamline reporting and produce insights to optimize processes and improve quality over time.
