Welcome to this issue of Aspire’s newsletter! We’ve covered Test Automation in one of our previous newsletters, and highlight the need here for calculating the ROI of any automation effort before you begin on the process.

As Test Automation involves high initial costs and the pay-offs come anywhere between 2-4 years down the road, automation should be looked at as a long-term investment. Performing a return on investment (ROI) for your planned automation can help you understand right at the beginning the monetary benefits that you will get from your investments.

An ROI analysis will not only help you determine the various elements associated in calculating the ROI and the approximate cost and benefit involved but it can also help you decide on the types of automation you want and the areas that you can potentially automate. It can also help you understand the tools and the skill-levels of the testing resources that will be required and perhaps most importantly, save you from having false expectations.

Aspire’s ROI calculator for Test Automation has been developed based on our extensive experience consulting and assisting several independent software vendors with their automation efforts. Our ROI analysis can help you determine if test automation is right for you by assessing your automation strategy in a quantitative manner. It can also provide you with details of the various costs involved in automation and the approximate returns you can expect on a yearly basis.

Test Automation Tool Evaluation

Success in any Test Automation effort lies in identifying the right tool for automation. A detailed analysis of various tools must be performed before selecting a tool. This whitepaper will guide you in taking a systematic approach towards tool evaluation. The effort and learning obtained during tool evaluation will in turn help during the execution of the Test Automation project.


Aspire’s Test Automation success stories

Test Automation of a HR & Payroll software using Watir

Aspire automated the testing requirements of a leading HR and Payroll provider, including smoke testing, monthly payroll regression testing and functional testing. Through automation, Aspire was able to reduce the testing cycle time by 50-60% compared to manual testing, ensuring faster and better quality product releases.

Automated Testing for Mainframe Integration products

A world leader in mainframe integration software engaged Aspire’s product testing team to automate the testing of their product suite. Aspire developed automation scripts that were robust, configurable and reusable and which reduced the test cycle in some cases, from 3 weeks to 2 days.
