But if you work with a cloud application, and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) one at that, you will know that some of the non-functional tests are what define the usability of your product and differentiate you from the competition.Here are a few types of non-functional tests you will want to design carefully for your cloud CRM product:

For the most part, due to operational pressures, business leaders loose focus from the actual business outcomes that they should drive, through the investment in automation. What should be the top three motivations for taking the plunge?

The success of any product depends on its ability to work without any surprises to the users and that’s where the Quality Assurance teams come into picture which are tasked to ‘test’ the products and find ‘bugs’ early in the development cycle. Although there has been long standing debate on importance of domain knowledge in software testing, increasingly it is becoming clearer that domain knowledge plays a very critical role. Especially for domains such as Financial Services, Insurance or Capital Market, understanding of compliance, audits, checks or specific workflows is far more important than knowledge of only functional testing.

Today virtually all product development is Agile. There is a potential crisis brewing behind the scenes though between the vagaries of the Agile methodology and the needs of the Test Automation suite. On the face of it the Agile approach with its short sprints, iterative development & admittedly greater emphasis on “doing” rather than “planning” could make it more difficult to adopt a well-considered overarching test automation approach. On the other hand the short sprints mean inevitably shorter “feedback” cycles which in turn mean less time available for testing. The iterative development also means more emphasis on regression testing – all excellent reasons to automate your testing. Clearly there are competing factors at play here – what is the role of test automation in the Agile development model?

Test automation is often projected as a magic wand but it rarely lives up to the expectation. Several studies have shown that more than 60% of test automation initiatives either stall or fail within the first six months before ever returning any RoI. Many of us have been probably part of such failures – either as audience or participants. Many test automation projects end with hundreds of un-maintainable test scripts and some fancy boxes of automation tools. Here is what we think is the ideal approach for test automation.
