Automation testing

Writing software program for testing other software program is called Automation testing.

Why

When we have lot of regression work.

When we have tight schedule for release

Benefit

Faster Regression (Increate test execution)

Improve accuracy

It Can run overnight (Manual Interaction not needed)

Increase test Coverage

Cycle of testing can be increased

Increases testing efficiency

False benefit

No Manual Testing needed

Testing cost will be reduced

It will save time and cost

Cons:

It needs investment

Need programming skill to implement

What to Automate

Test case which needed to regressed multiple times

Test case tough to execute manually

Test case which take long time to execute

Test which need

Test cases that need multiple data input

What not to automate

Frequently changing test cases

New feature

Ad –hoc test cases

UI is not fixed

Test does not required for long run

Feature which are not stable

Risk

Not having skilled resource

Test Tool not supporting all environments

UI is changing frequently

Best test tool for me:

Tool which support my environment

Tool which easy to learn

Tool which have better support and online resource

Tool which is cost –effective for my organization

Support different type of testing

Error recovery

Good reporting

Recognize object in all environment

Tool which support most of my requirements

Why Need Frame work for Automation Testing
 

For creating better structure for Test

Maintain consistency of Testing

Re-usability of code

Less Maintenance of code

Making test execution simple (For non-technical users)

Easy to understand code

Better reporting
