DPTASM 06: Advantages of DPM’s Productized Test Automation Service Model

Here are the obvious advantages!

1. A tiny team: Just one tiny Test Automation Development and Engineering Team instead of many = Less Cost of Recruitment, Remuneration and Training, as a result.

2. A small set of tools: Just one small set of centralized Test Automation Tools instead of a large set of scattered ones

3. Frequently used licenses: Just a few frequently used licenses (pertaining to commercial test automation tools) instead of a large number of not so frequently used licenses

4. Maximum utilization of hardware: Just a small set of frequently used machines instead of a large number of not so frequently used machines

5. It's Green: The energy consumed on smaller number of machines is way less

6. Easy portability: Moving to another Operating System, Hardware Configuration (or set of hardware), Test Automation Tool(s) is less expensive, easy and fast as it is just about a fewer instances (compared to a large number of instances). Change is the only constant, by the way!

7. Easy Standardization: Adequate room for standardization and consistency in approach, engineering, solution and deployment.

8. Way less maintenance required: Just one instance of Test Automation Common Infrastructure (TACI) = Least amount of maintenance effort and time!

9. Minimum quality control effort required: Efforts and time spent on Quality Control and Effort Estimation, in the context of creation and maintenance of Test Automation Common Infrastructure (TACI), get reduced drastically.

10. Continuous Improvement: Continuous Improvement remains an easy and cost-effective option.

11. It's just configuration: Test Automation remains more about configuration than customization.

12. Extensible and Scalable On-demand: More tools, hardware and people can be added on the fly in case the DEMAND for the productized service goes beyond the anticipated, expected, reasonable threshold of sustainability.  Next Page >>
