Does your functional automation really add value?
The document discusses the value of functional automation in software testing, highlighting the importance of faster feedback, CI/CD enablement, and effective test execution strategies. It explores challenges in traditional automated testing frameworks and suggests a shift towards leveraging AI and ML in test automation. Key metrics for measuring product quality and test effectiveness are also outlined, encouraging a focus on meaningful metrics rather than merely fulfilling requests.

- 36. • Test CaseEffectiveness = (Number of defects detected / Number of test cases run) x 100 • Test Case Productivity = (Number of Test Cases / Efforts Spent for Test Case Preparation) • Test Coverage = Number of detected faults/number of predicted defects. • Test Code Coverage = Produce code coverage by e2e / UI tests • Requirement Coverage = (Number of requirements covered / Total number of requirements) x 100 • Test Design Coverage = (Total number of requirements mapped to test cases / Total number of requirements) x 100 • Test Execution Coverage = (Total number of executed test cases or scripts / Total number of test cases or scripts planned to be executed) x 100 • %ge of work completed & yet to be completed • Time to complete the remaining work @BagmarAnand (Traditional) Test Metrics
