From Weeks to Days – How NG-TxAutomate Shrinks Automation Timelines

Table of Contents

It hasn’t been too long since the world witnessed the magic of the Metaverse at the Sandbox’s first Global Creators’ Day on November 3, 2023. As technology expands, enterprises will need more robust digital assurance and automation solutions to survive the era of AI transformation. There’s no denying that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are upscaling testing strategies, facilitating the new era of innovation and efficiency.

However, various QA managers or test engineers still hesitate to adopt next-gen technologies to upscale automated testing due to a change in knowledge base and high upfront cost. To overcome such challenges, Tx has an AI-powered framework, NG-TxAutomate, that transforms the quality assurance process and delivers significant QA cost savings.

What is NG-TxAutomate?

NG-TxAutomate is an AI-powered and intelligent “ready-to-deploy” test automation framework by Tx ACoE (Automation Center of Excellence). It is a modular, reusable, compatible, and library-agnostic automation framework that can accelerate the QA process in Agile and DevOps environments. This framework can easily integrate with tools like JIRA, Selenium, Playwright, Jenkins, etc., to support automation efforts across web, mobile, and API platforms. It leverages AI to improve software testing cycles’ accuracy, productivity, and efficiency. Using NG-TxAutomate, enterprises can reduce testing cycle times, lower QA costs, and deliver high-quality software quickly.

QA teams can easily integrate NG-TxAutomate’s AI features into their workflow by adding a plugin to their preferred IDE (Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, or another tool). This smooth integration lets them access powerful AI-driven automation within their development environment, boosting productivity and testing efficiency.

Why Businesses Need a Test Automation Framework?

A test automation framework enables businesses to improve software QA processes’ speed, accuracy, and efficiency. It helps deliver faster time to market, improved product quality, and reduced QA costs by automating redundant tasks and enabling teams to focus on complex and AI-driven QA activities. Here’s how it benefits businesses in the long run:

• Automated test cycles enable teams to execute many test cases, including edge cases missed in manual testing.

• Frees up QA engineers from repetitive tasks and gives them time to focus on next-gen testing strategies and analysis.

• A robust framework like NG-TxAutomate significantly reduces the cost of maintaining and updating test scripts.

• Automation framework integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous testing of code updates throughout the SDLC and rapid deployment.

• Ensuring output consistency across various platforms and environments enables QA teams to execute the same testing steps precisely every time.

Challenges Addressed by NG-TxAutomate

Challenge	How NG-TxAutomate Solves It
Adoption of new automation tools like Selenium, CodeUI, TestComplete, etc.	Offers a unified framework to support multiple tools and reduce adoption complexities.
Delayed automation during SDLC.	Enables early automation by allowing script development during design and development phases.
Limited usability of existing automation investments.	Leverages current tools and integrates them into the automation strategy.
Lack of involvement from business users in automation.	Supports frameworks that allow business users to participate in test design and execution.
High costs and slow test automation.	Decreases investment through reusability, faster execution, and streamlined automation workflows.

Key Features of NG-TxAutomate

Teams can reuse test components and scripts, allowing them to spend less time rewriting the same steps.

Catch Bugs Early and Often:

Integrate automated test cases into the software development flow to facilitate quick issue identification.

AI-Powered Capabilities:

AI-driven code generation allows teams to decrease dependency on coding everything from scratch and support extensive reporting via AI insights and predictive models.

Hybrid Testing Support:

Run both functional and non-functional tests across multiple environments to ensure full QA coverage.

Integration with Tx Products:

Easy to integrate with tools like Tx-SmarTest, Tx-Insights, and Tx-GPT to prioritize AI-driven testing, track real-time outputs, and auto-generate test cases from user stories.

Multi-Language Support:

Teams can work with multiple languages, such as Java, C#, Python, and JavaScript, making it easier to build, customize, and maintain test scripts.

Real-world Impact: How NG-TxAutomate Cut Testing Efforts by 90%

In a notable project, Tx worked with a leading commercial insurance provider who was migrating from the legacy systems to the Majesco Insurance Platform. During migration, the client encountered several challenges validating domain-specific functionalities and ensuring application stability in the SIT environment. Tx leveraged NG-TxAutomate, its in-house automation framework, to address these issues and streamline the QA process. It led to a 90% reduction in testing efforts and a 30% increase in test execution speed. The integration of NG-TxAutomate enhanced testing efficiency and ensured functional stability during the platform migration, demonstrating its effectiveness in complex enterprise environments.

Summary

As enterprises race to keep up with the AI transformation, the pressure to deliver faster, smarter, and more reliable software is higher. Yet many enterprises still struggle with outdated tools, steep automation learning curves, and rising costs. NG-TxAutomate, an AI-powered, ready-to-deploy framework from Tx, helps streamline testing, enabling early automation and effortlessly integrating across platforms and tools. With NG-TxAutomate, organizations can confidently adopt digital agility while minimizing QA bottlenecks and boosting release speed.
