Continuous Test Automation is a practice that encourages and aligns with the overall Continuous Delivery process. It is NOT only “Test Automation” but Test Automation done “continuously”.
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

Questions for successful test automation projectsDaniel Ionita
Test automation is not only about coding. Successful test automation involves critical thinking and clarity of objectives before actually beginning development. This material provides guidance in putting some of the right questions and how to think as for having an efficient and effective test automation in the context of your project.
What are the Key drivers for automation? What are the Challenges in Agile automation and How to deal with them? How to automate? Who will automate? Which tool to select? Commercial or open source? What to automate? Which features? Here is what our experience says
Test Automation Strategies for the Agile WorldTechWell
With the adoption of agile practices in many organizations, the test automation landscape has changed. Bob Galen explores current disruptors to traditional automation strategies, and discusses relevant and current adjustments you need to make when developing your automation business case. Open source tools are becoming incredibly viable and beat their commercial equivalents in many ways―not only in cost, but also in functionality, creativity, evolutionary speed, and developer acceptance. Agile methods have fundamentally challenged our traditional automation strategies. Now we must keep up with incremental and emergent systems and architectures and their high rates of change. Bob explores new automation strategies, examining strategies for both greenfield applications and those pesky legacy projects. Learn how to wrap a business case and communication plan around them so you get the support you need. Leave the workshop with a serious game-plan for delivering on the promise of agile test automation.
7 Deadly Sins of Agile Software Test AutomationAdrian Smith
Automated software testing is a key enabler for teams wanting to build high quality software that can be progressively enhanced and continuously released. To ensure development practices are sustainable, automated testing must be treated as a first-class citizen and not all approaches are created equal. Some approaches can accumulate technical debt, cause duplication of effort and even team dysfunctions.
The seven deadly sins of automated software testing are a set of common anti-patterns that have been found to erode the value of automated testing resulting in long term maintenance issues and ultimately affecting the ability of development teams to respond to change and continuously deliver.
Taking the classic seven sins (Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Rage, Pride, Greed) as they might be applied to test automation we will discuss how to identify each automated sin and more importantly provide guidance on recommended solutions and how to avoid them in the first place.
Large-Scale Agile Test Automation Strategies in PracticeTechWell
After providing an introduction to several key agile testing concepts—including the Automation Triangle and the Test Automation Quadrants—Geoff Meyer discusses approaches to effectively deliver automated testing. Geoff shares practical insights and demonstrates how they were employed in the test automation strategies developed for several large-scale agile projects at Dell. He shows how the overall test strategy and implementation of each underlying agile concept was influenced by the realities of the project’s organization structure, application architecture, incumbent tools, and tester skillsets. Geoff explores the similarities of the projects from their common goals of establishing automated regression suites, achieving in-sprint automation, and test staffing approaches. More importantly, he delves into the implications of organizational structures and how they led to divergent approaches to test strategy from the choice of automation frameworks to the decisions to automate at the REST/SOAP-based API level or UI level.
The name “Script-less” suggests a NO to scripting & programming. Not to mislead, Scriptless testing doesn’t really eliminate scripting completely and is not a substitute for actual coding of any test automation tool. It is an extremely flexible testing framework with minimal exposure to code

It Seemed a Good Idea at the Time: Intelligent Mistakes in Test AutomationTechWell
Some test automation ideas seem very sensible at first glance but contain pitfalls and problems that can and should be avoided. Dot Graham describes five of these “intelligent mistakes”—1. Automated tests will find more bugs quicker. (Automation doesn’t find bugs, tests do.) 2. Spending a lot on a tool must guarantee great benefits. (Good automation does not come “out of the box” and is not automatic.) 3. Let’s automate all of our manual tests. (This may not give you better or faster testing, and you will miss out on some benefits.) 4. Tools are expensive so we have to show a return on investment. (This is not only surprisingly difficult but may actually be harmful.) 5. Because they are called “testing tools,” they must be tools for testers to use. (Making testers become test automators may be damaging to both testing and automation.) Join Dot for a rousing discussion of “intelligent mistakes”—so you can be smart enough to avoid them.
Challenges in automation which testers face often lead to subsequent failures. 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.
Many organizations never achieve the significant benefits that are promised from automated test execution. Surprisingly often, this is due not to technical factors but to management issues, especially at system testing level. Surprisingly often, this is due not to technical factors but to management issues. Dot Graham describes the most important management concerns the test manager must address for test automation success, and helps you understand and choose the best approaches for your organization—no matter which automation tools you use or your current state of automation. Dot explains how automation affects staffing, who should be responsible for which automation tasks, how managers can best support automation efforts leading to success, and why return on investment can be dangerous and what you can realistically expect. Dot also reviews a few key technical issues that can make or break the automation effort. Come away with an example set of automation objectives and measures, and a draft test automation strategy that you can use to plan or improve your own automation.
The world of a software house is a constant search for compromise between quality and costs. In many cases, the cost-cutting starts from the test automation. Then you start to talk about ROI but recognize that numbers are not on your side. We were there and what we have found out is that only a complete change in our approach allows us to find common ground with our clients. I will reveal one detail from the presentation - we are not talking about test automation with clients anymore - as a result we do it more and more.
Are you surprised that success automatically generates new challenges which we further translate into opportunities? We had to reconsider our approach to the test automation environment, internal frameworks and the way we share them between projects, including code ownership, … And again, one simple but unobvious solution allows us to both deliver what we promise and to earn more on our projects.
As we have been reshaping our approach to the test automation, we had to change the way of delivery too. One of the main decisions was skip out the role of test automation engineer (or software developer in test). We decided to go with the whole team approach which is consistent with the way we sell it.

Curiosity and Infuse Consulting Present: Sustainable Test Automation Strategi...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was co-hosted by Infuse Consulting and Curiosity Software on 27th September 2022. Watch the on demand recording here: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/generate-rigorous-automated-tests-webinar
Your test automation rates are too low to match the speed of CI/CD, while suboptimal coverage is constantly letting bugs slip through. What do you do?
Many organisations treat this as a resourcing problem, often approaching services providers to navigate an automation skills shortage. Yet, hiring more people to perform the same processes is unsustainable, as the demand for automation persists sprint-over-sprint. In-house testing further risks growing dependent on a scripted framework that they can’t easily access or target for coverage. They risk throwing money constantly at external engineers to write repetitive scripts, fix brittle tests, and source test data. These suboptimal processes must be fixed first – people alone cannot fix test automation ROI.
This webinar will explore approaches to sustainable test automation that grows more efficient sprint-over-sprint, while targeting testing to de-risk the latest system changes. Nalin Parbhu, CEO of Infuse, and Curiosity’s George Blundell will draw on automation project experience from a range of different organisations. They will discuss collaborative approaches that automate processes surrounding test execution, while maximising reusability and optimising in-sprint test coverage. You will see solutions to perennial test automation barriers, including:
1. Collaborative test modelling, future proofing automation frameworks by maintaining intuitive living documentation.
2. In-sprint test and data generation, rapidly creating scripts from reusable flowchart models.
3. Automated test maintenance, targeting in-sprint coverage as requirements and systems change.
In this quality assurance training session, you will learn introduction to automation testing. Topics covered in this course are:
• Introduction
• Why Automated Testing?
• What can I Automate?
• Test Automation Process
• Automation Tool
• Automation Framework

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
5. Myth #1 - Test Automation is simple, that every tester can do itMyth #1 - Test Automation is simple, that every tester can do it
• This myth is promoted by the tool sales people.
They are trying to promote the following test
automation process:
o Record the script
o Enhance the script by adding functions and data
driving
o Run the scripts
o Report results
• Under the influence of this myth QA manager
can proudly report: All our testers are
developing test automation.
6. Reality - Test automation is a software development taskReality - Test automation is a software development task
• Automation should be designed, developed and
tested
• You need to have some kind of a programming
background to implement test automation. Test
Automation is not as complex as C++/C#/Java
development.
• Test automation standards should be developed
• Automated test components are assets that should
be treated like application source code
7. Myth #2 – Commercial test tools are expensiveMyth #2 – Commercial test tools are expensive
• Under the influence of this myth some companies,
especially the small ones:
o Try to develop their own test automation tools
o Use scripting languages like Perl and Ruby
o Use shareware test tools
o Do not consider test automation at all
8. Reality – Commercial tools are cheapReality – Commercial tools are cheap
• Per seat license for most expensive automation tool
is $8K
• This tool will be used for 5 years.
• Maintenance/Support fees are 20% of tool cost or
$1,800 per year
• The cost of this tool is $8K/5+$1,800 = $3,100 per year
• The automation developer cost with overhead is
$100K per year
• The cost of this tool is just 3% of the person who uses
it, but productivity gain can be very significant
9. Commercial Tool Benefits:Commercial Tool Benefits:
• Customer support. Many of the open source tools come and go
with little to no support
• Most commercial tools are constantly being updated as
technologies change
• Most commercial tools usually have more functionality (QTP can
test various GUI applications: Web, .Net, Java, VB, C/C++,
PowerBuilder, etc. vs. WATIR – Web only)
• Commercial tools usually have a large community of users, which
translates into better availability of qualified resources
• Commercial tools require less advanced programming
• More test automation frameworks are available for commercial
tools
• Commercial tools are integrated with Test Management tools
which makes reporting and execution much simpler.

15. Classic ROI CalculationClassic ROI Calculation
ROI = BENEFIT/COST
Automation Cost = Price Of HW + Price of SW + Development Cost +
Maintenance Cost + Execution Cost
Manual Testing Cost = Development Cost + Maintenance Cost +
Execution Cost
ROI = (Manual Testing Cost - Automation Cost)/Automation Cost
Looks right, isn’t it?
16. Problems with Classic ROI CalculationProblems with Classic ROI Calculation
You can’t compare Automated Testing
and Manual Testing. There are not the
same and they provide different
information about the AUT.
You can’t compare cost of multiple
execution of automated tests vs. manual
tests. You would never dream of
executing that many test cases
manually.
17. Automation Real ROIAutomation Real ROI
ROI value IS NOT the value of Automation vs. Cost
of executing these tests manually
Automation ROI value IS the benefit of this type of
testing, and it can be:
Reducing Time to Market
Increased Test Efficiency (Productivity)
Increased Test Effectiveness
18. Reduced Time to MarketReduced Time to Market
• Can get a greater market share
• Makes people available to work on
other projects
• Higher margins, if no competitive
products are currently available
19. Productivity and EffectivenessProductivity and Effectiveness
• More testing gets done faster, increasing the odds of
finding defects
• Defects found early have better chances to be fixed
• Manual Testers can concentrate on clever ways to
finding defects, instead of typing test inputs and verify
output.
• About 7% of bug fixes create new bugs, sometimes in
already tested parts of the system. With automation you
can rerun tests for those modules. This almost never
happened when testing done manually.
20. ROI summaryROI summary
• Each project requires different types of automation
- there is often no easy formula available to
calculate ROI
• Performing ROI calculation can help to determine
upfront what type of automation, what level of skills,
what tools will be required.
22. Test Automation FrameworkTest Automation Framework
• A Test Automation Framework is a set of
assumptions, concepts and tools that provide
support for Automated Software Testing.
• Correctly implemented Test Automation Framework
can further improve ROI by reducing the
development and maintenance costs.
23. Types of Test AutomationTypes of Test Automation
FrameworksFrameworks
• Modular
• Data-Driven
• Keyword–Driven
• Model-Based
24. Modular frameworkModular framework
• The Modular framework is the natural progression
from Record-and-Playback
• The modular framework seeks to minimize this
repetition of code by grouping similar actions into
“modules” (e.g.: login)
• Test Data is in a script
This is what tool sales people are promoting.
25. Data-Driven/Keyword DrivenData-Driven/Keyword Driven
• These frameworks are similar in that the data is
separated from the test script
• The script is just a "driver" or delivery mechanism for
the data.
• The difference:
o In keyword-driven testing, the navigation data and test data are
contained in the data source
o In data-driven testing, only test data is contained in the data source.
26. Model-Based testingModel-Based testing
• Model-based testing is software testing in which test
cases are derived in whole or in part from a model
that describes some (usually functional) aspects of
the system.
• Model-based testing for complex software systems
is still an evolving field.
27. We’ll be concentrating on Keyword-Driven
testing since it is a most beneficial framework
for large-scale test automation.
28. Advantages of Keyword-Driven Test automationAdvantages of Keyword-Driven Test automation
• This Framework addresses the most common problem
with test automation:
Automation Engineers do not have domain knowledge
and the End Users (Subject Matter Experts/Test
Engineers) usually do not have automation expertise.
• When properly implemented and maintained, it presents
a superior ROI because each business event is designed,
automated and maintained as a discrete entity.
• Keywords can then be used to design test cases, but the
design and automation overhead for the keyword has
already been paid.
29. Advantages of Keyword-Driven Test automationAdvantages of Keyword-Driven Test automation
• Reduced the cost and time spent maintaining
and updating tests
• The modular structure of keyword-driven testing
means that new tests can easily be created
from pre-existing modules
• The test team is capable of entirely automating
tests, even without programming knowledge
• Can be easily modified to use with different test
tool
• Reusability across different projects
31. Recent Success with Keyword-Driven approachRecent Success with Keyword-Driven approach
• Estimate using Modular Framework: 1 year
• Estimate with Keyword-Driven Framework: 6 months
Project was completed in 4 months by 1 person, 2 month
ahead of schedule.
This was the first project for the automation developer
utilizing the Keyword-Driven Framework.
170 components were developed (1 component per Web
page).
109 Regression Test cases were automated.
