Elevate Your Software Quality: Discover How with DBServices’ Automation Assessment

In the fast-evolving world of software development, maintaining high quality and efficiency is paramount. DBServices Portugal is at the forefront of facilitating this through our comprehensive Test Automation Levels (TAL) assessment. Our structured approach not only evaluates your current automation capabilities but also outlines actionable steps to enhance them.

Understanding Test Automation Levels (TAL)

DBServices Portugal has developed a framework that categorizes test automation maturity into five distinct levels, each representing a stage in the journey towards fully integrated automation:

1. TAL1 — Intuitive: Characterized by predominant manual testing with little to no automation. Companies at this level lack a defined strategy for automation, which can hinder scalability and efficiency.
2. TAL2 — Training: Focus shifts towards automation with some basic automated tests in place. However, test coverage remains low and not fully integrated into development cycles.
3. TAL3 — High Coverage: At this stage, there is comprehensive test coverage across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Automation is more consistently integrated with the development process.
4. TAL4 — Consistent Flow: Automation is deeply integrated into the agile development cycle, with high-quality test coverage maintained across all stages. This level supports continuous integration and delivery practices.
5. TAL5 — Quality Culture: The highest level, where test automation is an integral part of the organizational culture, driving all aspects of software development with a focus on continuous improvement and strategic alignment.
