Integrating test automation into your project management software such as Jira will provide you a higher return on investment (ROI) for teams looking to optimize their software development processes.

Most teams tend to automate tests, but seem to forget the importance of integrating their automated tests into the overall project management process. This means automated testing should complement and improve the overall software quality, allowing manual testing to focus on key business and functional areas which may not be ready for automation, or simply best left for manual testing.

Either way, it’s important that your test reporting highlights the overall status of both automated and manual testing. With the increasing push to shift left, automated testing needs to be able to provide fast, accurate test and code coverage, application insights and reports which can be accessible for delivery teams to review and asses.

The right selection of automation, testing process, and team, are significant ingredients for a successful automation capability.
