Although a majority of software testers in software testing companies in UAE have adopted testing tools. But still many have
shown reluctance to adopt it. Here are some reasons for it.
1. Usability Compromised For
Attractiveness
It has
been found that too much focus is given to attractiveness rather than useability by developers of the software testing tools. Hence the interface of the
software looks good but is unable to support the workflow of the tester. This
is because the chief focus of usability is on goal attainment and supporting
the seamless experience of the workflow.
2. Poor Flexibility of the Software
Tool
Some of the testers are still
hesitant to adopt these tools. The reason for this is that these too fail to
support the evolving requirements of the test environment. These tools are a
bit complicated when it comes to usage. Usability must also take into account
aptitudes, needs, particular goals, and the class of tool users.
3. Unfavorable to Evolving Requirements
The usability needs to provide task
flows for expert users and novice, and support the movement amid the different
layers. Hence it is crucial to keep in mind one thing, which the need for
testing keeps on evolving and software testing tools must be designed in a way
that it supports changing requirements of
Software Companies in UAE.
4. Continuing Maintenance and
Portability is Often Ignored
Portability can be defined as the
capacity of the software to be transferred into another system seamlessly. The
testing environment, software being tested, testers, and the tests everything
evolves with time. Usability alone will not suffice, portability and
maintenance is also very important.
5. The Aspect of Reliability and
Security is Missed
Reliability is the extent to which
a system, service, or product will perform its expected functions appropriately
for a specified time period. Hence the software testing tool must be offer
reliability. This will result in more correct outcomes. Security is the
approach taken to protect against undesirable attacks and hacker risks.
Consequently, software continues to work error-free under potential threats.
Conclusion
After reading the points above, it can be concluded
that usability is an essential feature of the success of the testing tool.
However, it is possible to attain during the designing phase of the software
testing tool. The testers in various Software Companies in Dubai are from a
wide range of experiences and backgrounds. Therefore there is little to be
surprised that these tools are to be selectively used.
