Test automation

The document discusses test automation, including defining it as using special software to control test execution and compare results. It lists major objectives like time and cost savings, improved productivity, accuracy, and coverage. It recommends automating repetitive, tedious, time-consuming, or high-risk tests. A typical automation process includes planning, design, tool development, deployment, and review. Choosing an automation tool requires considering ease of use, supported test types, and maintenance. Automated testing reduces long-term costs while manual testing has shorter-term benefits like more bugs found through hands-on testing.

3 In software testing, test automation is the use of special software to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes.
4 Automated tests can be run over and over again at no additional cost and they are much faster than manual tests.
5 A time savings translates directly into cost savings Improves testing productivity Improves accuracy Increases test coverage Does what manual testing cannot do
6 Test cases that are execute repeatedly Test cases that are very tedious Test cases which are time consuming High risk – business critical test cases
7 Test cases that are newly designed and not executed manually at least once. Test cases for which the requirements are changing frequently. Test cases which are executed on AD-HOC basis.
8 Test automation planning Test automation design Test tool development Test tool deployment Review and evaluation
9 A dedicated work force for test automation A well-defined plan and strategy Talent engineers and cost-effective testing tools Maintenance of automated software tests and tools
AUTOMATEDTESTING  Need to run a set of tests repeatedly  Long term costs are reduced  Possible to run regressions on a code that is continuously changing and in shorter time MANUALTESTING  Test cases have to be run a small number of times  Short term testing costs are reduced  The more time tester spends testing a module the grater chance to find real bugs 10
Software test automation tools 11 QTP it is the market leader in functional testing tool Rational Robot it’s is an IBM tool used to automate regression, functional and configuration test Selenium its an open source web automation tool.
12 How to choose an automation tool? Ease of use (Scripting language used) Support for various types of test including functional , test management, mobile etc..
