The document outlines a roadmap for successful test automation, including steps to plan an automation framework, select an appropriate automation tool considering requirements and constraints, and implement a strategy for test selection, prioritization, and management of the automation project. It also provides examples of applying the roadmap through SQS case studies and addresses questions about the automation process.
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
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
A test automation framework defines an organization's way of doing things. It is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing.
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.

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.

This is my complete introductory course for Software Test Automation.If you need full training that includes different automation tools (Selenium, J-Meter, Burp, SOAP UI etc), feel free to contact me by email (amraldo@hotmail.com) or by mobile (+201223600207).
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.
Test Automation Best Practices (with SOA test approach)Leonard Fingerman
Today we hear a lot of buzz about the latest & greatest test automation tools like Selenium, Rational Functional Tester or HP LoadRunner but to make your test automation effort successful it might take more than just having the right tool. This presentation will try to uncover major pitfalls typically involved with test automation efforts. It will provide guidance on successful strategy as well as differences among third-generation frameworks like keyword-driven, data-driven and hybrid. It will also cover various aspects of SOA test automation
This is a presentation given at the Hangzhou Scrum Forum 2009, sponsored by Perficient, China. The topic is how to incorporate automated functional testing into an agile project, and also some best practices, tips, and warnings.

There is no doubt about the importance of automated frameworks in the Agile environment and as part of the day-to-day testing process. These are some insights to guide any automation project.
As more and more companies are moving to the Cloud, they want their latest, greatest software features to be available to their users as quickly as they are built. However there are several issues blocking them from moving ahead.
One key issue is the massive amount of time it takes for someone to certify that the new feature is indeed working as expected and also to assure that the rest of the features will continuing to work. In spite of this long waiting cycle, we still cannot assure that our software will not have any issues. In fact, many times our assumptions about the user's needs or behavior might itself be wrong. But this long testing cycle only helps us validate that our assumptions works as assumed.
How can we break out of this rut & get thin slices of our features in front of our users to validate our assumptions early?
Most software organizations today suffer from what I call, the "Inverted Testing Pyramid" problem. They spend maximum time and effort manually checking software. Some invest in automation, but mostly building slow, complex, fragile end-to-end GUI test. Very little effort is spent on building a solid foundation of unit & acceptance tests.
This over-investment in end-to-end tests is a slippery slope. Once you start on this path, you end up investing even more time & effort on testing which gives you diminishing returns.
In this session Naresh Jain will explain the key misconceptions that has lead to the inverted testing pyramid approach being massively adopted, main drawbacks of this approach and how to turn your organization around to get the right testing pyramid.

Combining Performance Testing And Modelling For Easy Jet.Com V 1.0dannyq
easyJet is Europe’s fourth largest airline and has seen growth in passenger numbers of 37% per annum over the last 10 years. It operates 175 aircraft over a pan-European network of 20 bases and 400 routes.
Capacitas is a UK-based technology consulting and training company focussed on ICT performance, capacity and cost.
Over 98% of easyJet’s revenue is earned through its e-commerce platform; meaning software reliability, performance and scalability are critical to successful business operation. easyJet is a recognised innovator in a highly competitive market and this necessitates frequent software releases using an agile development methodology. All of this must be achieved within the context of a low-cost business model.
In many organisations performance testing and performance modelling have long been used to reduce the risk of poor performance impacting business services, but often in isolation. This presentation describes how performance testing and modelling can be used in tandem to compensate for the weaknesses of each other, within the context of an agile development process. The presentation demonstrates how Capacitas and easyJet have integrated performance testing and modelling processes to provide cost-effective risk mitigation for the easyJet.com service.

Testing web applications for performance is fundamentally different and more complex than testing them for functional correctness. To carry out effective Performance Testing (PT) it is essential to choose the right tools at the right time. They are chosen in different phases of PT to perform activities Such as scripting, test execution, reporting and analysis. The Performance Execution Framework (PEF) is designed to boost the productivity of performance test teams.
