Abstract

The article is devoted to the development and implementation of a model for improving the efficiency of the testing department of the MBM LLC Company. The organization and process of software testing play an important role in the digital economy since it is the business continuity that determines the reliability of the data processed by corporate systems and, ultimately, the quality of the sale of goods and services. The main areas in which the process of increasing the efficiency of the testing department is carried out are the introduction of automated tests for new processes being implemented in the organization. To automate the testing processes, we used the BDD (Behavior-driven development, literally “development through behavior”) methodology - this is a software development methodology through continuous communication between developers, testers and analysts. During the study, the basic principles of organizing an automated testing system in the IT departments of companies were examined, the technical tools that are used in the department were examined, and a testing automation model was proposed. A comparative analysis of the possible means of implementing the proposed model is carried out. As a result of the analysis, the most optimal software tools for a particular project were selected. The process of creating automated tests is described. After the introduction of automated tests, an assessment on the effectiveness of the constructed system was made to increase the efficiency of the testing department and the use of developed autotests in real practice. The evaluation results showed that for this project, testing automation according to the proposed model became an appropriate solution and brought significant results already at the pilot stage: by freeing up manual testers from the manual execution of regularly repeated tests. The proposed model allows increasing the efficiency of the testing process and reduce the labor and material costs of the Company for its organization.
