SWAT Test Automation

A unique blend of methodology, technical capabilities and organizational aspects to quickly set up sustainable test automation for any application based on the actual risk profile of the underlying business process. Finally, End-to-End test automation can be introduced quickly without impeding the normal change delivery flow. In this project example, the client asked for test automation across their S/4 HANA logistics, procurement and warehouse management solutions.

SWAT (Software Agile Testing) is a software testing methodology developed by Sixsentix that combines agile development practices with a risk-based approach to testing. It emphasizes continuous testing and provides a framework for integrating testing into the agile development process.

TOP-5 benefits of SWAT implementation for your company:

1. Faster time-to-market: The agile approach to testing ensures that issues are identified and fixed early in the development process, allowing for faster delivery of high-quality software.
2. Improved quality: The risk-based approach to testing ensures that critical areas of the software are thoroughly tested, reducing the risk of defects and improving overall quality.
3. Increased collaboration: The methodology emphasizes collaboration between developers, testers, and stakeholders, promoting a shared understanding of project goals and requirements.
4. Flexibility: SWAT provides a flexible and scalable approach to testing that can be adapted to different development environments and project needs.
5. Cost-effectiveness: By catching issues early in the development process, SWAT helps to reduce the cost of fixing defects and rework, saving clients money in the long run.
