Blog post from testRigor
Test coverage in the QA industry is often ambiguously defined, varying significantly between engineers and QA professionals. Engineers typically focus on unit tests, measuring the percentage of code lines covered, whereas QA professionals prioritize end-to-end tests that evaluate the completion of important business scenarios. Achieving 100% test coverage is traditionally challenging with tools like Selenium due to technical difficulties and the effort required to cover all scenarios. However, testRigor offers a solution that simplifies this process by enabling tests to be created and automated using plain English, allowing for potentially complete coverage within a month. This approach not only enhances the speed of business operations by automating all test cases but also underscores the importance of end-to-end tests, which validate the application's functionality from a user's perspective, ensuring that users can complete their intended tasks.
