Automation Fundamental Concepts

What is Test Automation ?

Software Test Automation is the process of automating the steps of manual test

cases using an automation tool Or utility to shorten the testing life cycle with

respect to time

When application undergoes regression, some of the steps might be missed out

or skipped which can be avoided in Automation

Automation helps to avoid human errors and also expedite the testing

process

To implement the Test Automation detailed planning and effort is required


3/41



Automation saves time and effort which results in reduction of the Test lifecycle

Benefits of Automation

- Consistency of Test Execution

- Reducing cycle time of regression test cycles

- Data driven testing

- Repeatability

- Coverage

- Reliability- Reusability of test wares


4/41



Automation life cycle is a subset of the entire test life cycle Automation planning can be initiated in parallel to the test planning phase

Factors to be considered in automation planning,

Stability of AUT (Application under test) No of regression cycles to be performed

Compatibility of App platform with testing tools

Cost benefit analysis (ROI)

Availability of skilled resources


5/41


Regression Testing & Automation

When Automation is applicable?

Regression Testing Cycles are long and iterative.

If the application is planned to have multiple releases / builds

If its a long running application where in small enhancements / Bug Fixes

keeps happening

Test Repeatability is required

Add-in Manager Cont

QTPs Add-in Manager facilitates the users to select the technology /

environment from variety of environments suitable for the AUT (Application

Under Test)

Once an add-in is loaded, users can record that application in its supported

environment and thus QTP recognizes the objects specific to the applicationunder test (AUT) as loaded through Add-in Manager.

It is critical for the users to know the development technologies / environment of

AUT, and load right Add-Ins while invoking Quick Test Pro.
