Many teams opt to build their own test automation frameworks using open source tools like Selenium or Playwright. The primary reason being that there's no licensing cost associated with such tools.

But is that the only reason to choose open source tools or is that the only cost associated with using open source tools?

Not quite. In this blog, we’ll uncover the hidden costs of building and maintaining a custom test automation framework and explore why it might not always be the most sustainable long-term strategy.

When apps grow, teams scale, and products mature, engineering leaders turn to test automation to ensure quality at speed. And then the BIG question -

Should we build a custom test automation tool — or adopt an existing solution?

The age-old dilemma of Build vs Buy in test automation is exactly what we will be discussing in this blog. In this post, we’ll break down when it makes sense to build your own test automation framework, the hidden pitfalls to watch for, and why, in most cases, modern off-the-shelf tools might be the smarter bet. Let’s help you make the right call for your team.

In today’s fast-paced software development world, test automation has become a necessity rather than a luxury. However, traditional automation frameworks still require significant manual effort for test maintenance, report analysis, and adapting to evolving requirements. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) in test automation comes into play, bringing efficiency, accuracy, and scalability to the process.

In this blog, we will explore how AI-driven test automation is revolutionizing software testing, its key benefits, and some scenarios where AI can be used to enhance modern QA practices.

The debate between manual vs automation testing has been ongoing for years, with each method offering distinct advantages. While manual testing provides flexibility and human insight, automation testing offers speed, efficiency, and accuracy, especially for repetitive tasks. Choosing the right approach depends on the specific needs of the project, the complexity of the software, and the resources available.

What is Software Testing?​

Software testing is a critical component of the software development lifecycle, designed to ensure the quality, functionality, and reliability of software applications. But what is software testing, and why is it so essential? Simply put, software testing is the process of evaluating a software product to identify any defects, bugs, or issues that could affect its performance.

It involves a systematic approach to verifying that the software meets specified requirements, functions correctly under various conditions, and delivers a seamless user experience.
