Description
This paper explores the current state of software quality assurance (SQA) practices with a focus on test automation. It applies these practices to a B2B online trading platform and builds a conceptual framework to implement automated end-to-end (E2E) tests for a critical business process and develop a test debt payback approach to increase unit test coverage. Our research follows the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology and offers deep insights through collaboration with the business and development team. The paper concludes by providing strategical and operational recommendations for organizations looking to improve their SQA processes. Overall, the study highlights the importance of SQA and test automation for long-lasting software and demonstrates concrete approaches for solving common challenges in the field.
