AutomatePro Accelerated Agile Sprints

AutomatePro Accelerated Agile Sprints: Newer users of AutomatePro are delighted at the additional use cases they can explore and act upon once they have completed their ServiceNow Base Level Testing, they delight in the discovery that those tests can expand and change in minutes to keep pace with their agile work stream. See how AutomatePro accelerates sprint planning with scalable, reusable baseline tests that streamline agile testing in ServiceNow.

By reducing manual testing, AutomatePro adapts effortlessly to evolving requirements, supporting Agile principles for faster, more reliable sprint cycles.

Why AutomatePro Accelerates Agile Sprint Planning

AutomatePro delivers a distinct advantage in agile sprint planning by providing pre-built templates, modular test steps, and comprehensive documentation that speed up the testing process.

Supporting the Agile Manifesto and Principles: AutomatePro aligns with Agile by enhancing collaboration, minimizing manual tasks, and quickly responding to change. Its automated tests support continuous improvement, delivering value efficiently across sprint cycles.

Studies indicate that agile teams save 30-40% of testing time with automation, allowing them to focus on value-driven improvements and quality assurance. AutomatePro’s AutoTest and AutoDocument features automate test creation, reduce redundancies, and help you establish a scalable baseline—setting the foundation for future agile cycles.


Setting Up AutomatePro Accelerated Agile Sprints for a Scalable Baseline

A robust baseline test suite is the cornerstone of efficient sprint testing. Baseline tests should cover core ServiceNow functionality that’s essential across all modules, enabling quick verification of existing features after each sprint.

Here’s how to build an effective baseline with AutomatePro:

Why AutomatePro Outperforms Manual Testing

Manual testing not only consumes time but also poses a high risk for missed defects, inconsistency, and testing delays. AutomatePro addresses these challenges, making it a far superior choice:

  • Speed and Consistency: Automated tests are faster and repeatable. AutomatePro’s modular test scripts allow you to quickly adjust tests as needed for agile changes, ensuring tests remain accurate and consistent with each iteration.
  • Efficiency with AutoTest and AutoDocument: AutomatePro’s integrated AutoTest and AutoDocument features automate the documentation process while tracking test completion and results. This ensures all tests are fully documented and auditable.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: AutomatePro reduces human error by automating repetitive tasks, which improves the overall quality of the product and the testing process.

Requirements for Building Agile-Focused Test Suites

To align with agile cycles, it’s essential to structure test cases that adapt as quickly as the sprint itself. With AutomatePro, you can set up flexible, sprint-focused test suites that accelerate test coverage for product owners and QA teams.

  1. Create Agile-Ready Test Scripts
    Develop modular test steps that can be easily adjusted or combined as new functionality is introduced in each sprint. AutomatePro’s reusable steps enable rapid updates without disrupting the overall structure.
  2. Tag and Track Agile-Specific Changes
    Use AutomatePro’s tagging features to categorize tests by sprint or feature. Tagging allows you to track release-specific tests or categorize tests by priority, providing visibility into sprint status and accelerating issue resolution.
  3. Organize by Priority and Functional Area
    Prioritize test cases based on impact, risk, and functional area. AutomatePro’s organizational capabilities help QA teams focus on the highest-priority test cases first, ensuring critical functionality is always up-to-date.

Advantages of AutomatePro Accelerated Agile Sprints for New AutomatePro Users

For those new to AutomatePro, the platform offers significant value in agile sprint testing. AutomatePro automates baseline test creation, tracks changes, and generates documentation effortlessly. By investing a small amount of time upfront to set up reusable test steps and a scalable baseline, you’ll see long-term efficiency gains that keep pace with agile demands.

  1. Faster Test Cycles: Automated testing cuts down cycle time, allowing teams to complete QA cycles in hours rather than days.
  2. High Scalability: Once baseline tests are established, AutomatePro makes it simple to add or remove tests as functionality evolves, giving you complete flexibility.
  3. Immediate Reporting and Tracking: AutomatePro’s reporting tools track completion status, test progress, and issue resolution in real-time, providing immediate visibility to product owners and stakeholders.

Conclusion

AutomatePro-Driven Sprint Testing provides agile teams with a streamlined, automated approach that enables fast, accurate, and consistent testing across ServiceNow.
