Studies point out that when a bug is corrected at the moment it is detected, or on the same day, it saves us 24 times less time than if it had been corrected three weeks later, for example. For this, test automation can be your ally, improving the operation efficiency and minimizing bugs risk.

Adopt this practice as a process of continuous improvement, with well-defined and incremental steps with Objective’s experts action. By using Objective Test Flow, our team supports the resolution of critical points of this adoption enabling a well-controlled management of cultural change.

Our performance with Automated Tests Consulting

Coaching and Mentoring

Ensuring software quality goes beyond manual tests, it is necessary to develop a TDD culture. Objective's coaching and mentoring comprises hands-on work done with its development team, in search of the productivity evolution, quality and maximum value delivery. Professional experts in test-oriented development work in pairs to turn the necessary actions tangible in this cultural change, accelerating the development of frameworks, artifacts and other architectures to support the process, avoiding initial productivity loss of the test automation front.

Training and Workshops

Prepare the team to reach new development improvement levels with advanced testing automation techniques. Objective's Automated Testing Trainings and Workshops are taken on demand, including formal training techniques, workshops, dojo, clean code sessions among other features. The set of topics to be worked is based on the teams' level of knowledge, technologies used, business restrictions, expectations and other aspects of the organization, being able to address concepts of test types and techniques, XP practices, advanced testing models, such as fictitious or real problems-in-practice models.

Our methodology

Having applied automated tests for more than 20 years, we have developed the Objective test Flow (OTF) framework, an incremental methodology adapted to particularities of each project. We apply OTF to help our customers implement culture-changing tests to achieve gains at scale. At the beginning of each project, we define the KPIs, which must be reassessed at the end of the process, so we can make decisions objectively. Among them, we measure the number of automated tests, code coverage rate, time spent in fixing bugs, misfunction reopening rate and other quality indicators.

Inception

In this first phase, we understand the current architecture, systems dependence, technologies used, work context, process analysis and data structure.

Creation of the first tests

Taken as group work, the team will create the first tests which will be executed in each new development or bug fixing.

Golden Trunk

New developments and bug fixing only move ahead to the production phase if all the tests run successfully. The team learns how to identify if the problem is in the test, which may have become outdated, or in the production code.

Test Driven Bug Fixing

For each new bug, the team creates a new test which replicates its scenario, and only after that, its fixing is developed. This practice reduces the reopening of misfunctions and introduces the idea of writing the test before the production code to the team.

Test Driven Development (TDD)

At this stage, the team starts writing the tests right at the beginning of new development processes. At this moment, the team will be able to keep the quality of new developments, as well as increase the coverage of the tests to involve new parts of the system.
