What is fused testing?
We refer to any scenario where manual and automated testing strategies are used to complement one another as Fused testing. This allows you to leverage the speed of automated testing as well as the and quality of a worldwide network of expert human testers.
There are currently two fused scenarios that you can easily access from Testlio’s services and platform offering - manual validation of issues and manual fallback in case of errors.
Manual validation of automated testing issues
Manual validation of issues found via automated testing is one of the core scenarios of Fused Testing. If you have doubts, about any results, you can verify them by asking a manual validation. Creating an issue, from automated test results is easy. Simply follow these steps:
Navigate to the test-level results of an automated run. See this article for more info.
The “New Issue” button is only available at the test suite level
Press “New Issue” at the top right of the screen and you are presented with the issue creation drawer. This uses the same functionality as our manual testing issue creation, which allows you to benefit from all the features of our issues.
Navigate to the issue in the Issues module to invite a tester to reproduce it.
See also our guides that detail what happens to an issue once it has been allocated for reproduction.
Manual re-testing of automated test scope
Manual re-testing follows the same process as standard manual testing with Testlio. If the automation is unable to test a scenario due to technical problems and you want to test the same scenario manually, follow these steps:
Lean on your scripter or coordinator who is reviewing the results of the run to understand what the script was trying to achieve
Use that as input about which test scenarios should be covered with manual test cases
You may have these test cases ready, or these may need to be written.
Either add additional testing scope to an ongoing manual run, or create a new one, following the same run creation steps as in this article.
