Building a Test Automation Strategy for SuccessLee Barnes
Choosing an appropriate tool and building the right framework are typically thought of as the main challenges in implementing successful test automation. However, long term success requires that other key questions must be answered including:
- What are our objectives?
- How should we be organized?
- Will our processes need to change?
- Will our test environment support test automation?
- What skills will we need?
- How and when should we implement?
In this workshop, Lee will discuss how to assess your test automation readiness and build a strategy for long term success. You will interactively walk through the assessment process and build a test automation strategy based on input from the group. Attend this workshop and you will take away a blue print and best practices for building an effective test automation strategy in your organization.
• Understand the key aspects of a successful test automation function
• Learn how to assess your test automation readiness
• Develop a test automation strategy specific to your organization
From http://wiki.directi.com/x/AgAa - This is a 24 slide internal presentation covering virtues of Automated Testing vs Manual Testing. Inkeeping with our agile adoption this presentation covers various advantages (11 to be specific) obtained in using TDD and Automated Testing as opposed to Manual Testing
Test Automation
Test automation is the use of test automation software like Selenium or self-developed testware to execute test cases.
Test automation is mostly used to automate repetitive testing tasks in a formalized way. It is also used to execute tests that would be difficult to perform manually like performance testing.
There are many advantages of test automation that are mostly related to the repeatability of the tests and the speed of test execution. There are a lot of commercial and open source tools available which can be grouped into two main categories; Code-Driven and Graphical User Interface Testing. Thus the key success factor in test automation is selecting the right tool and have a specialized test automation team.
It is to use test automation tools by considering ROI (return on investment). Otherwise it is quite easy to waste big amount of energy, commitment and definitely money.

Test Otomasyonu:
Test otomasyonu özellikle tekrarlayan ve manuel olarak yapılması zor olan testlerin Selenium gibi test otomasyon araçları kullanılarak ya da özel olarak geliştirilen test otomasyon scriptleri ile yapılmasıdır. Bu bakımdan:
- Regresyon testleri
- Performans testleri
- Yük ve Stres testleri
- Test yönetimi
test otomasyonuna en uygun test tipleri ve aktiviteleridir.
Test otomasyonunun en büyük faydaları:
- testlerin hıznının artırılması
- testlerin kapsamının artırılması
- testlerin doğruluğunun artırılması
- testlerin raporlama kalitesinin artırılmasıdır.
Test otomasyonu doğru araç seçimi yapılmaması, ya da test otomasyonunu bilen uzman bir ekip tarafından yapılmaması durumunda faydadan çok zarar getirmektedir.

Software testing concepts is going to enhance from manual testing to automated testing. Due to rapidly increasing complexity in software development process, the present manual testing technique is not sufficient for effective testing. Hence, here arises the requirement of test automation process. The automation testing is the software testing process in which the tester use advance automation tools for testing software applications areas, which needs to be tested again-and-again due to frequent changes.
6 Traits of a Successful Test Automation ArchitectureErdem YILDIRIM
The sector demands that software development life cycle to be delivered faster and cheaper with increasing quality and reliability. TLC (testing life cycle) is a crucuel part of the time, cost and quality level for AUT (Application Under Test). Market got to point that all long ornate talks can be summed up in one word: EFFICIENCY. In quality aspect, automating testing activities had already been came forward to reduce development cycle times, cost, resources allocated with traditional test along past years. It's OK that automation increased the efficiency of the test process, so what about the efficiency of automation itself? Why most of the test automation projects fail (even if you're not aware of it is actually failing)? Because, automating without good test architecture may result in a lot of activity, but little value (if you are lucky). We will talk about following 6 main traits to build a successful test automation architecture; selection/implementation of test levels to be automated, design principles/patterns, locater strategy, tools / framework selection (aside from SeWD / Java), methodology (E2E Testing, TDD, BDD, Continuous Testing) and OOP pillars.

Why and When to Use Automation in Software TestingV2Soft
Automation in software testing is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to reduce costs, improve accuracy and efficiency, and allow for faster delivery of products. Automated testing can help developers identify bugs early in the development cycle, leading to fewer errors and better-quality software. Automation also reduces the need for manual testing, freeing up resources that can be used elsewhere. By automating specific tasks, testers can focus on more complex tasks that require human judgement and experience. Ultimately, automation helps reduce time-to-market while improving the quality of the product.
Testing is a major part of the Application Development Life Cycle (ADLC). It helps in eliminating the defects and issues early from the product and helps in delivering quality products to the end users.
Why Automation Fails—in Theory and PracticeTechWell
Testers face common challenges in automation. Unfortunately, these challenges often lead to subsequent failures. Jim Trentadue explains a variety of automation perceptions and myths―the perception that a significant increase in time and people is needed to implement automation; the myth that, once automation is achieved, testers will not be needed; the myth that scripted automation will serve all the testing needs for an application; the perception that developers and testers can add automation to a project without additional time, resources, or training; the belief that anyone can implement automation. The testing organization must ramp up quickly on the test automation process and the prep-work analysis that needs to be done including when to start, how to structure the tests, and what system to start with. Learn how to respond to these common challenges by developing a solid business case for increased automation adoption by engaging manual testers in the testing organization, being technology agnostic, and stabilizing test scripts regardless of applications changes.

Influence of emphasized automation in ciBugRaptors
To choose testing during software development, Bugraptors always uses the Continuous Integration and continuous deployment to decide the way of testing i.e: Automation or Manual. It is very important to decide the testing during software development to ensure quality meeting project constraints.
The Leaders Guide to Getting Started with Automated TestingJames Briers
Conventional testing is yesterday’s news, is required but needs the same overhaul that has happened in development. It needs to be a slicker operation that really identifies the risk associated with release and protects the business from serious system failure. The only way to achieve this is to remove the humans, they are prone to error, take a long time, cost a lot of money and don’t always do what they are told.
Automation needs to be adopted as a total process, not a bit part player. Historically automation has focussed on the User Interface, which can be a start, but is often woefully lacking. Implementing an Automation Eco-System, sees automation drive through to the interface or service layer, enabling far higher reuse of automated scripts, encompasses the environment and the test data within it’s strategy, providing a robust, repeatable and reusable asset.
Don’t just automate the obvious. Automation is not a black box testing technique. Rather it is mirroring the development and building an exercise schedule for the code. Take your testing to the next level and realise the real benefits of a modern Automation Eco-system.

Summary.
Agile software development is probably the most common methodology used by organizations today, as such; many people have started to ask more and more questions about this methodology that sometimes based on wrong assumptions.
In this presentation, I will review the most common Myths and Misconceptions that I encounter during agile training courses, hopefully, to help people to divide the truth from the assumptions.
The scrum master role contains many theoretical descriptions that do not provide an answer to the basic question of “What is the Day to Day activities of the scrum master?”
In this presentation, I will provide a short checklist that will try to answer that basic question while examining few of the main ceremonies and artifacts of the Scrum framework.
Expectations of scrum masters - How to choose a true great scrum master?David Tzemach
In Scrum, the Scrum Master (SM) owns the responsibility for the process. During his day-to-day activities, the Scrum Master must ensure the team is following the Scrum Spirit, process, and the different practices of this the scrum framework.
Selecting a Scrum team’s Scrum Master can be the difference between success or failure of the team’s ability in adopting scrum. Therefore, it is highly important to ensure the selected Scrum Master has the current qualities, Skills, and characteristics. This will assist the team to adapt to the different challenges they will face while adapting the Scrum framework.
In order to assist one to determine the most suitable person lead the team as the Scrum Master, I have prepared a list of Characteristics, Skills, and qualities that a good Scrum Master should have in his armory.
Top 10 challenges faced by the scrum masterDavid Tzemach
The Role of the Scrum Master (SM) is very challenging. SM responsibilities include Coaching, Training and facilitating both Agile practices and Spirits. In this Presentation, I will review some of the challenges faced by the Scrum Master during his day-to-day activities.
In this presentation, we will review the fundamental concepts of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software test life Cycle (STLC) throughout the traditional development methodologies.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

3. Code For People
Just like any other development project, you must
write clear and efficient code that you can run in a
reasonable time. The number of tests run even on
the smallest automation project is often hundreds
and sometimes thousands tests that need to run
over and over again. Therefore, if the code is not
efficient it will affect the timelines and reduce the
number of executions.
4. Tips To Write Clean And Better Code
One place for all functionality
if there’s a large amount of functionality
you’re keeping all in one place, Separate it
using an additional classes
Use Meaningful Names
The name that you specify in your code
should reveal it’s intent
Write Readable Code For People
Don’t waste another developer time by
writing messy code
Conventions
It keeps things clear and let you know
exactly what you’re working with
Commenting just enough
Comments should be used only when they
are needed
Don’t automate duplicate code
Lines and lines of duplicate code are not
only harder to read than a concise and
elegant solution, but also increase the
chance for error
6. One of the main criteria to determine the quality of a good automation
project is the ability to provide consistent results every time we run it. If
automation passes successfully in the first run and fails in the second run
without any changes made, we cannot be certain if the failure is due to a
real product bug or a bug in the automation itself.
Uncertainty Is Automation’s Worst Enemy
Make sure that you run on stable environments
How can we reduce uncertainty in an automated environment?
Make sure that new code is approved before releasing it to the main branch
Remove unstable tests
Do not automate unstable functionality
Make sure that each test is verified manually
Make sure that your code is up to date base on functionality changes
Make sure that each test case and code implementation is reviewed
Make sure that you use reliable builds of the application
Make sure that you change the test data when requirements change
8. Test fail, what happens now…?
The automation code is designed to find bugs in the
tested application. For that, we must make sure that
in the case of a failure, it is easy to understand the
root cause of the failed test without spending a lot of
time diagnosing the failure.
Therefore, when writing automation, we must think
about different ways to reduce the debugging time,
such as automated bug reporting, logs and any other
information that improves the debugging process.
10. Test Automation Reports
After every test execution, generate a report that explains
the test results. These guidelines help keep it efficient:
In case of failure, provide a link to the debugging information
collected during the execution.
The report shows the execution start and end times.
The report shows who the automation owner is.
The report should be clear to the reader.
The report contains a link to the labs used to run the tests.
The report is sent automatically to the relevant people.
The report contains details about the tests that failed and
passed.
12. Know Which Test Cases to Automate
There are endless test cases that we can run during a
testing cycle, but in reality, we just cannot afford to write
and execute them. Just like in manual testing, we need to
determine which test cases should be automated based on
a few simple factors:
Automate the test cases that increase the automation ROI.
Automate any test case that requires high precision.
Automate any test that is part of the regression cycle.
Automate test cases that you cannot perform manually.
Automate any test case that is executed repeatedly.
Automate any test case that is time-consuming.
Automate any test case that runs per build.
Automate high-risk scenarios.
13. And the test cases that you should not automate
Do not automate test cases for which the requirements are still changing.
The maintainability of such cases will reduce the automation ROI.
Do not automate test cases that are part of usability testing.
Do not automate the application GUI if its objects are frequently modified.
Do not automate test cases that are not verified manually.
Do not automate ad-hoc random tests.
15. “Why Are We Automating?“
Without knowing the answer to the question above,
do not start any automation project.
It is key to understanding the drive behind the
decision to automate and in addition, helps reduce
the expectation gap between the team and
management.
17. When designing an automation project, always consider the time and investment factors.
Adding an unnecessary test case affects the ROI of the entire project, so automation should
cover only the necessary test cases. There is no benefit in writing tests that will not
contribute to the test coverage.
In addition, before determining the test cases to automate, ask yourself a few basic
questions:
Automate Only What Is Necessary
What maintenance will be needed to adjust this test in future versions?
What is the preparation required in creating the test?
Can the test case be used in future versions?
Are the test’s expected results defined?
Do you have the test data for this test?
What is the objective of the test case?
Do you have the pass/fail criteria?
19. Eliminate Dependencies, Don't Manage Them!
When a test fails, we want to find the root cause of the problem as fast as we can. The
last thing we want is to spend time investigating numerous automation steps that affect
the failed test. Independent tests allow you to understand the cause of the failure
faster and remove the dependency on other automation steps. Another advantage of
independent tests is the ability to run each test separately as a single unit without any
relation to the other tests.
No Dependencies
=
Easy Debugging
Increase of automation stability
Improve test execution time
Execute your tests in parallel
20. You Must Be Familiar with the Application Under Test
21. Knowledge is power!
Automated testing should be treated in the same way as manual testing, the people responsible
for building and designing the test scenarios must be familiar with the application being tested:
Know the technologies used to develop the software.
Know the main flows of the end-to-end scenarios.
Know the architecture of the application.
Know which platforms are supported.
23. “A Goal without a plan is just a wish”
Just like any other project, we cannot write any code before we know the basic parameters:
Determine the testing tools and programming language to use.
Understand the deliverables of the automation project.
Select the appropriate automation framework.
Understand the expectations.
Prepare the automation design.
Expected test coverage.
25. “Together, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results.”
Selecting the right automation tool is important, but it is more important to
hire the right people to use it during the development phase:
Hire an automation architect to design the automation architecture.
Manual testers should focus on manual testing. If you want them to
automate, make sure that they are dedicated only to the automated
testing work.
The team must include at least one authority who can lead the
technical aspects and guide the other automation engineers.
Manual testers are not programmers. Do not ask them to program
without appropriate training.
Make sure that your team has enough people to meet the project
requirements.
27. Verify First, Automate Later
Before automating your tests, you must verify that each test case is tested and verified manually. If
you decide to skip this phase, you will have trouble understanding the source of failures during the
automated process.
Another consequence of skipping the manual verification is that it takes more time to stop the
coder’s work and start the investigation about the failure. If you do the manual verification, you
reduce the investigation time, which allows the coder to keep their focus.
29. You can spend thousands of dollars on the best automation tool, but if your team is not
familiar with it they will not get the most out of it and will probably spend more time in
learning it than on actual development.
Which tool is best for you?
If your team members have previous experience with an automation tool that meets
the project requirements, select it. Their experience will help you meet targets faster.
When selecting the tool, ask yourself if you can use it in future projects.
Select the tool that is most suitable to meet the project requirements.
Select the automation tool that allows your team to develop in a programming
language that they are familiar with.
