Types of Automated Testing ScienceSoft Performs
Automated functional testing
To ensure each functional requirement of your software is met, our engineers can:
- Join at any stage of software development or evolution.
- Develop, run, and maintain the functional tests of relevant granularity (smoke, component, system tests) and level (API and UI automated tests).
To validate that newly introduced features don’t disrupt the functioning of the rest of software functionality, ScienceSoft introduces and performs automated regression testing.
Automated performance testing
To ensure stability and high performance of your software under varying load, ScienceSoft’s test automation team performs:
- Load testing
- Stress testing
- Stability testing
- Scalability testing
Automated integration testing
To ensure the smooth end-to-end workflows of your integrated software and business data consistency, ScienceSoft’s test automation engineers validate the following software integrations:
- Internal (between software modules and components).
- External (between software and third-party applications it’s integrated with).
Automated compatibility testing
To check whether software’s UI and functions render properly in diverse target environments, our engineers test its compatibility with:
- Required devices and OSs.
- Browsers and their versions.
- Network conditions.
Automated software security assurance
To ensure your software is not exposed to common security vulnerabilities and complies with relevant regulatory standards (e.g., HIPAA, GAMP, PCI DSS, GDPR, etc.), ScienceSoft’s engineers can automate the following cybersecurity checks:
- Vulnerability scanning.
- Code analysis.
- Compliance testing.

Test Automation Setup Plan
Below is described the typical process of end-to-end QA automation with ScienceSoft.
1
Test automation planning
ScienceSoft’s test automation engineers:
- Analyze your project and software specifics to outline the optimal test automation coverage.
- Advise on the relevant automated testing types and levels of testing (API and UI).
- Plan out the test automation infrastructure and its integration with a CI/CD pipeline.
2
Test environment setup
ScienceSoft’s test automation engineers:
- Select fitting automated testing tools or develop a custom test automation framework.
- Set up and configure the relevant testing tools.
- In collaboration with DevOps professionals, integrate test automation with a CI/CD pipeline.
Note: ScienceSoft’s DevOps engineers can assist with setting up a robust CI/CD pipeline from scratch, if required.
3
Test data preparation
ScienceSoft’s test automation engineers analyze the specifics of your software and the characteristics of data it handles (e.g., data volume, the number of supported data formats) to automatically generate the test data.
4
Automated testing
Based on the outlined test automation coverage and scope, ScienceSoft’s test automation engineers:
- Create test scenarios and test cases.
- Write relevant test scripts.
- Develop a keyword-driven and/or a data-driven testing framework to streamline creating automated tests and their maintenance.
- Analyze the results of automated tests and create test reports.
- Maintain the test automation scripts, the data-driven and/or the keyword-driven framework.
Note: We can migrate your test scripts developed within legacy frameworks (UFT, TestStack.White, etc.) to the actual framework to unify the test automation tools used.
5
TCoE setup
ScienceSoft can help introduce an in-house testing center of excellence (TCoE) to centralize test automation practices through corporate testing projects by:
- Setting up a company-wide test automation environment.
- Promoting the use of a standard test automation toolkit across the corporate projects, including test automation frameworks and tools, defects and issue tracking tools, etc.
- Developing standardized test automation KPIs.
