IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management Automated testing
Automated testing has become a central component of modern engineering processes in recent years. It offers numerous advantages that significantly increase the efficiency, quality and reliability of products and software.
Just imagine: A product that works flawlessly and is constantly being improved. Automated tests turn this vision into reality.
Invest in the future: Automated tests are a long-term investment in the quality and success of your product.
Rely on data: Automated tests provide objective data on product quality and enable well-founded decisions.
Reasons for automated testing:
- Time saving:
- Faster test execution: Automatic tests can be carried out within a very short time, whereas manual tests are often time-consuming.
- Early detection of errors: By identifying errors at an early stage, time-consuming reworking can be avoided.
- Cost savings:
- Reduction of errors in later phases: The earlier faults are detected, the lower the cost of rectifying them.
- Less manual intervention: Automation reduces the need for manual activities and the associated costs.
- Improved quality:
- Higher test coverage: Automated tests can cover a larger number of test cases than manual tests.
- Consistent results: Automatic tests deliver reproducible results and minimise the risk of human error.
- Increased efficiency:
- Repeatability: Automatic tests can be repeated as often as required without reducing the quality of the results.
- Flexibility:
- Adaptation to changing requirements: Automatic tests can be quickly adapted to new requirements.
Areas of application in engineering:
- Software development:
- Function tests
- Regression tests
- Integration tests
- Load tests
- Hardware development:
- Functional testing of components
- System tests
- Simulation:
- Review of models and simulations
Conclusion:
Automated testing is a powerful tool that makes it possible to improve the quality and reliability of products and software while saving costs and time. By integrating automated tests into the engineering process, companies can increase their competitiveness and react more quickly to changing market conditions.
With Engineering Lifecycle Management, IBM offers a powerful tool to support you in your engineering process.
At GADV, we have been dealing with automated testing in various development phases for decades.
Both together help you to integrate your test scenario into a modern process.
How can GADV help?
- Analysing the existing test infrastructure
- Preparation of proposed solutions for Integration in ELM / ETM or a complete test landscape
- Utilising established adapters from IBM and other manufacturers
- Realisation of the integration (design, implementation, testing, introduction, training, maintenance...)

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is automated testing?
Automated testing is the use of software tools to perform tests that replace or supplement manual test processes - efficiently, repeatably and reliably.
What are the advantages of automated testing?
It saves time, reduces costs, increases test coverage, delivers consistent results and improves product quality through early fault detection.
In which areas can automated testing be used?
It is used in software development (e.g. regression tests, load tests), hardware testing and in modelling and simulation tests.
How does GADV support automated testing?
We analyse your existing test infrastructure, develop individual solution concepts and integrate automated tests into your ELM and ETM environment - including implementation, training and support.
Which tools are used with GADV?
Besides IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management, we use established adapters and tools from leading providers to ensure seamless integration into your development environment.
How does automated testing help to increase efficiency?
Repeatable tests at high speed enable shorter development cycles and improve time-to-market.to-market with consistent quality.
Can existing test scenarios be integrated into IBM ELM?
Yes, we can integrate existing test scenarios into IBM ELM or set up a complete new test landscape - customised to your requirements.
Why is automated testing an investment in the future?
Automated testing sustainably increases the quality and reliability of your products and improves your company's ability to adapt to new requirements.
