Abstract:

This thesis examines the practical application of Selenium for web application testing and Appium for mobile application testing to improve software quality and reliability through automation. A thorough investigation of various testing tools and methods is conducted, delving into how automation frameworks can help ensure high levels of functionality, usability, and compatibility in web and mobile programs. The research incorporates case studies that underscore the importance of conducting functionality, usability, and compatibility testing to address problems tied to software applications. While automation frameworks streamline the testing process, no framework can replace traditional manual testing. Both automated and manual strategies must be utilized together to deliver comprehensive testing. The studies highlight best practices for developing an efficient testing regimen. The study uncovers that Selenium exhibits great precision in mechanizing obligations inside web applications, while Appium productively assesses portable application usefulness crosswise over different gadgets and working frameworks. The examination between web and versatile application testing underscores the significance of customized testing methodologies to satisfy stage particular necessities. Proposals for future examination centre around investigating AI incorporation in testing, IoT application testing, improved security estimates, execution testing in 5G conditions, and usability testing across gadgets to advance programming testing practices. Furthermore, the investigation discovered that Selenium could robotize occupations effectively on web applications saving time throughout testing. Appium can evaluate portable applications on different working frameworks and gadgets, for example, iOS, Android and Windows. This permits testers to distinguish bugs cross-stage before dispatch. As innovation keeps on advancing, future exploration could concentrate on artificial intelligence joining into testing improve precision and effectiveness. Testing IoT applications is critical as these applications associate numerous gadgets. In this manner, security must be considered even more deliberately. Execution must likewise be tried as 5G networks become progressively normal. Usability ought to be concentrated on cross stage as client experience ought not rely upon the gadget being utilized. This research aims to further our understanding of software testing techniques. It provides meaningful perspectives for industry specialists seeking to refine their testing methodologies and develop websites and apps of high calibre. These digital offerings should satisfy users’ needs and align with sector benchmarks. By gaining familiarity with current evaluation methods, developers can create error-free programs meeting users where they are. The findings offer pragmatic guidance for strengthening evaluation processes to deliver top-notch, dependable digital experiences.
