Software Test Automation
Today's business environment is characterized by shrinking cycle times; making test automation a critical strategic necessity. MindTree understands the challenge of keeping up with the explosive pace of web-enabled deployment, while retaining satisfactory test coverage and reducing risk.
MindTree believes that the answers lie in either deploying more manpower for manual testing - or achieving a greater level of software test automation.
Reduction in project cycle time generally correlates to reduction in test time, and the demand for rapidly developed and deployed web clients make test automation even more crucial. With multiple active projects across the same timeframes, the hurdles only seem to get higher.
MindTree's proven processes and deep experience with creating and executing test automation scripts and scenarios can help address these difficulties, and deliver real value. Our test automation frameworks are built using standard tools and scripts.
Through our technology alliances, we can also provide tool evaluation and proof-of-concept services.
