Testing Automation in Agile environment

The old and “good” (?) water fall “The "traditional" model of software development lifecycle.” 1 Analysis 2 Design 3 Coding 4 Testing

The old and “good” (?) water fall Testing automation life cycle in water fall• Only regression testing covered by TA• Testing automation follow the manual testing versions (always regression testing of the previous version executed)• TA design always by the manual testing group• Execution Priority by the manual testing manager• Very easy to control and manage

Testing in Agile environment

Agile conceptEmphasize collaborative, integrated teams, frequentdeliveries, and the ability to adapt to changing businessneeds

The Tester role in Agile environment• Focuses on testing iteratively against newly developed code until quality• Testers have to adapt to rapid deployment cycles and changes in testing patterns.• Agile testing involves testing from the customer perspective as early as possible

Testing Automation in Agile environmentSince working increments of the software are releasedoften in agile software development, there is also a needto test often. This is commonly done by using automatedtests to minimize the amount of manual labor involved.Undertaking only manual testing in agile developmentmay result in either buggy software or slippingschedules, as it may not be possible to test the entirebuild manually before each release.

Testing Automation as part of the scrum team• Testing automation activities is part of the backlog document• Automation developer take part in all scrum stages• Automation status is part of the morning meetings• Testing automation is a MUST as part of the scrum testing scope• Automation developer works closely with all team members (Manual tester, Developer, PMO, etc…)

Testing Automation execution Scrum work flow• Testing automation execution occur after the first code delivery• Usually will try to use existing code• API execution is an advantage• Result analyze by the whole scrum team

Some Agile testing principles justify Testing Automation• Testing moves the project forward• Testing is not a phase – it’s a way of life (ongoing execution)• Every body test – Manual testers execute automation• Keep the code clean – rerun testing execution• Test Driven advantage – very easy to develop in automated testing
