Automation is widely misunderstood to be a simulation of user actions, achieved by simple record-and-play macros. Automated testing is not a silver bullet; but when rightly applied it can save costs, reduce cycle time, and increase accuracy. cTAM - Chakkilam Test Automation Methodology focuses on leveraging open source automation tools to reduce both testing effort and test cycle time.

cTAM At Chakkilam, we understand that Test Automation is NOT testing. Test automation is a development activity which needs a robust engineering process to build reusable automation suites.

Test Automation is complex and varies by tool vendor. It requires specialized skill sets to select, implement, and manage the test automation process.

cTAM mitigates the complexity of tool selection, implementation, and ongoing management. Chakkilam's teams will ensure automation efforts will not produce shelfware and that you get the most out of your automation investment.
