Sarcouncil Journal of Applied Sciences Aims & Scope

Abstract: The choice of suitable test automation tools for mobile-web applications running under integrated system ecologies constitutes a strategic decision that has a direct effect on organizational financial health and effectiveness. The current digital ecosystems require complex testing methodologies that can tackle cross-platform compatibility issues, while still ensuring cost-effectiveness and sustainable return on investment. The merging of mobile and web technologies has resulted in testing complexities that are unparalleled and will need to be evaluated using systematic methodologies that balance technical capability with long-term financial factors. There is an increasingly complex landscape of testing tools, and organisations need to ensure implementation decisions lead to measurable results for their business across a variety of technology stacks, including PWAs, native mobile applications, and hybrid solutions. Total cost of ownership considerations are not limited to the upfront tool investment to include training needs, infrastructure needs, maintenance effort, and scalability factors that determine automation success over time. Cross-platform testing also presents its own challenges, including maintenance of test scripts, consistency of execution across platforms and device configurations, and analysis of results. With accurate ROI calculation models, which take into account both direct cost savings in terms of reduced manual testing effort and indirect benefits such as faster time-to-market and better software quality, it'll be simple to pick the right tool. Deploying strategic automation in e-commerce and financial services scenarios shows how significant testing efficiency, defect detection efficiency, and release cycle acceleration can be achieved from the right investments in automation. The fusion of AI and advanced analytics capabilities presents major opportunities for improving automation efficacy in ever-more complex testing environments, forcing organizations to be flexible in tool selection strategies while developing capabilities that allow them to adapt to evolving technology.
