2. Introduction
 Test Automation in the Software Eng. context is
the automatic testing of the various cases or
scenarios through which a software has to pass in
order to be successfully developed and be better
in quality.
 Quality of a software product needs to be up to
the mark and reliable.
 Test cases are executed automatically by a
software and the results are show to the tester so
that if there are loose ends they must be fixed.
 Fast and Reliable than manual testing.
 Less number of errors and more bug fixes.

3. Trends
 The latest trend in Software Testing is the
Model-based testing where a model is
used to represent testing strategies.
 Model driven testing where the test cases
created are called abstract test suite,
which interact with the System Under
Test(SUT), but not directly.
 It is a form of black-box testing.

Trends
 Automation testing is far better than
manual testing but it can be improved to
much more extent.
 In the next five years, I see fast and
efficient testing tools and a less need of
manual testing.
 Testing tools with new protocols, faster
testing and automatic error or fault
recovery.

5. Interest Areas
 Code driven Testing is a cost effective
and reliable technique when it comes to
automation testing.
 Test cases are proposed even before the
coding is started and also during the
code development.
 The consistent testing of the code helps in
fixing a lot of errors and bugs, rather than
manually testing when the coding part is
complete leading to more and more
errors and defects.

Interest Areas
 Internship in Software Automation
Testing(Code-driven testing), I would like
to learn about testing more logical and
complex software.
 I would like to get more experience from
the experts and apply it in the real time
scenario.
 Test real software and improve the
automation testing techniques.
