DCS Consultancy Services is the only company to supply the most advanced functional testing framework available with its unique test script approach, the "Manual Build with Automation Replay". As the description suggests, this is a hybrid of both manual and automated test types where every manual test script controls the execution of an automated test script. This new hybrid test type combines all the benefits of simple manual test development with all the benefits of simple automation test execution.
 This new test type, called "Gooey Test", defines a single script automation testing framework technology (SSATFRAT) that bridges the gap between manual testing and automation testing. The Gooey Test enables your company to simply continue developing manual test scripts utilising your manual testing resources, such as Subject Matter Experts (SME) and Business Analysts (BA) but does not require any test team resource to perform test execution, therefore allowing your test team to spend more time on Gooey Test script development, which is actually manual test development. Gooey Test script development is therefore quick and straight-forward. It is actually quicker than manual test development since the Gooey Test framework provides a manual test script template that your test team simply selects the desired pre-written test steps and provides the necessary data. Data is either input data, selection data, or verification data. Plus, there is no need to launch the automation tool or even have it installed. Your manual test team can therefore create Gooey Test scripts in minutes without requiring knowledge of an automation tool, automation scripting language and without the necessity to install the automation tool on their desktop computers or laptops. This lowers the skillset required from the test team to perform Gooey Test script development and has the added advantage of a possible reduction in the number of automation licenses that are necessary. Since the development of a Gooey Test is manual and the execution of a Gooey Test is automated the manual test team are relieved from performing any test execution, the Gooey Test execution time is greatly reduced and can be scheduled to run at any time of day, and this provides the test team with more time to develop Gooey Tests. The greater the number of test scripts the greater the coverage of testing is achieved.
With the traditional manual and automated test types, during each stage of software development the test team is also hampered by the inconvenience of manual and automated test maintenance. During the software development life cycle for every new build of the application under test, you would envisage your company’s test team resources to be occupied over several days with the updating of manual and automated test scripts before your company is ready to test. This is a process that would involve your company’s automation test team identifying those automation test scripts requiring modification, opening each one individually, making the necessary alterations and then unit-testing each automation test script to confirm that the alterations have been made appropriately.
In retrospect, SSATFRAT maintains the Gooey Test scripts by updating 100s of test scripts in minutes, rather than days, so that your company is ready to test quicker than ever before and without utilising the whole of the automation test team. Changes made to the Gooey Test are detailed in a easily viewable report so that your test team is aware of the changes that have been made.
Unlike any other automation testing framework automation test progress (the process in which the utilisation of automation technology increases with every cycle of software development) Gooey Test development commences on the first cycle of software development. This is not a straight-forward possibility for standard automation testing.
Gooey Test has been devised to take into consideration the ordeal of test script development, execution and maintenance, is labour saving, efficient, enables greater coverage of functional testing and provides your company with greater confidence in software delivery. The qualities of Gooey Test that dramatically increase automation progress mean that your company can continue to rapidly improve the quality of testing, effectively and efficiently, whilst dramatically improving the ROI (Return On Investment) in automation testing technologies, maximising the benefits of automation testing and minimising the overall costs of testing.

The design and efficiency of Gooey Test complements any functional testing strategy practised by your company and is especially aimed at making automation testing in an Agile Testing environment work for you.
If you know someone who believes that Automation Testing is too expensive relative to its value then they have not implemented the use of Gooey Test. For further details on how Gooey Test will improve your company’s testing click here.
