Comprehensive Security with Open Source DAST Tools

Q: What is test automation and why is it important?

Test automation uses software tools to execute tests automatically, reducing manual effort and human error. It enables faster feedback cycles, more consistent results, and allows teams to run thousands of tests that would be impractical manually. Organizations typically see 40-70% reduction in testing time after implementing automation.

Q: When should you automate tests versus test manually?

Automate tests that are repetitive, require multiple data sets, or need to run frequently such as regression tests. Keep manual testing for exploratory testing, usability evaluation, and one-time scenarios. A good rule: if you will run a test more than twice, consider automating it.

Q: How does BetterQA approach test automation?

BetterQA uses Flows, our proprietary automation tool with AI self-healing capabilities. When elements change, Flows automatically updates selectors instead of failing. We export tests to standard frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, and Selenium so clients own their automation assets. Our 50+ engineers have delivered automation for healthcare, fintech, and enterprise clients.
