Return on Investments in Automated Testing Undoubtedly our world is full of technology, some new application is launched every hour and someone somewhere is thinking about a new concept every minute. In such a scenario it becomes important to test applications before launch and also the return on investment in automated testing plays an essential role. In the initial stage of planning an application, all important factors are listed out and the profit loss account takes the apex position in this list. The basic aim of any organization is to generate sales and run a profitable business at whatever level it may be. The risks in application development is huge because the decision making power is vested with the users or the clients of a company in question. When we go in for an automated testing of an application we get the actual insights so as to what that application can turn into and whether people will be ready to use it or not. Return on investment is huge in cases of automated testing because even in the worst scenarios the application is stopped in the planning stage itself. 1. Saves time When initial framework of an application is being done a lot of manpower goes into it. It takes ample of time and generally other parts of the business are neglected for that period of time. A/B testing has enabled a developer to subject his made application to the users and let them decide its fate and its design thoroughly. Generally within a month the statistics are kept in front of the developer and thereafter either the work is carried out in full swing else it is stopped. This ensures

Return on Investments in Automated TestingUndoubtedly our world is full of technology, some new application is launched every hour and someonesomewhere is thinking about a new concept every minute. In such a scenario it becomes important totest applications before launch and also the return on investment in automated testing plays an essentialrole.In the initial stage of planning an application, all important factors are listed out and the profit lossaccount takes the apex position in this list. The basic aim of any organization is to generate sales and runa profitable business at whatever level it may be. The risks in application development is huge becausethe decision making power is vested with the users or the clients of a company in question.When we go in for an automated testing of an application we get the actual insights so as to what thatapplication can turn into and whether people will be ready to use it or not. Return on investment is hugein cases of automated testing because even in the worst scenarios the application is stopped in theplanning stage itself.

1.      Saves time

When initial framework of an application is being done a lot of manpower goes into it. It takesample of time and generally other parts of the business are neglected for that period of time.  A/Btesting has enabled a developer to subject his made application to the users and let them decide itsfate and its design thoroughly.  Generally within a month the statistics are kept in front of thedeveloper and thereafter either the work is carried out in full swing else it is stopped. This ensures

that no extra time is wasted upon an application that will not have great insights.

2.      Clear Image

When a developer is creating an application he feels that it is the right choice and considers it worthyof appreciation in the market. There have been cases when the apps have failed to do well with theusers and all the time, money and energy invested had gone in vain. When on the mobile applicationtesting mode it is likely to give a clearer image of what its future holds for it. As such wastage ofresources can be prevented to a certain extent and the remainder can be used for some usefulpurpose. A clear picture of the app can be viewed which enables a developer to decide his courseof actions to either go to the next level or to do away with the app. In the days of no mobileapplication testing companies were spending huge sums of money or various apps and many a timesthey were not able to give valuable returns on the same.

3.      Be Sure

Mobile testing does help applications a great deal but the developer before starting to work on anapplication must be sure of what he is planning to do. This will help save time and money in the firstplace and will also be a better approach towards a/b testing. Test results will confirm theapplication’s future and this helps the developer to work with extra zeal. All this is only possiblewhen everything about the app is sure and benefits are assured out of it.

4.      Earn Profits

As mentioned earlier an organization whether small or big is run for the purpose of earning profits.Each company wants a marginal return on the investments that one makes. In case of mobileapplications it is all the more important to be doubly sure about the apps because they include largeportions of early investments. With app testing one is sure that they shall either gain profits or theywon’t but the deal will not go into loss because the future of the application will be decided by thosewho use it by mass selections.
