Gaining control over Test Automation
In practice, we see many organizations struggle to successfully implement Test Automation. Common questions we hear are: Where do we start? Which tools truly fit our situation? How do we prevent a tangled mix of solutions? And is our approach future-proof?
The Test Automation TechRadar helps you make well-informed decisions. It provides a clear overview of technologies and practices within test automation and shows which tools and techniques have proven their value, which are promising, and which are better avoided (for now). In this way, we support organizations in making smart, strategic choices in a fast-growing and increasingly complex landscape.
A living tool
The Test Automation TechRadar is not a static overview, but a living instrument. It evolves alongside new innovations and market best practices. We continuously conduct research, evaluate existing tools and frameworks, and release regular updates. This ensures the TechRadar remains relevant, practical, and aligned with the latest developments in test automation.
How do you use the TechRadar?
The TechRadar is structured around quadrants and rings. Together, they show what a technology is and how best to apply it.
Quadrants: Technologies are divided into four categories:
-
Techniques: practices that help make testing more effective.
-
Tools: software for developing, executing, and reporting automated tests.
-
Platforms: environments in which tests are executed and managed.
-
Languages & Frameworks: technologies for building and maintaining test automation.
Rings: The rings indicate the stage of adoption:
-
Adopt: proven and ready for immediate use.
-
Trial: promising and suitable for experimentation.
-
Assess: interesting, but not yet ready for broad adoption.
-
Hold: not recommended for new projects.
