Testing process overviewThe testing process typically includes some version of these phases:
Test creation Test execution Test results reporting Test maintenance, as needed

Testing terminologyThis course uses these terms:
Application under test (AUT): This is the application that is being tested.
Test execution: This is the process of completing a predefined set of actions that is designed to measure the quality of a specific area of the application under test. Test execution is also referred to as running a test.
Verification: The process of checking the state or behavior of the application under test in specified conditions or in a response to a specific action, typically compared to a documented expected state or behavior

Challenges: Create testsWriting by hand means creating tests twice:
Create a test while sitting at a PC completing actions and writing steps on paper
Type handwritten steps into test document
Redundant content is contained in many tests.

Challenges: Run testsManually recording results while following test steps can present issues:Tedious and repetitive typingMany tests that are differentiated only by test values

Challenges: Report test resultsReporting test results requires entering test results that are recorded by hand on printed test documents.

Challenges: Maintain testsMaintaining tests presents these challenges:Constantly updating tests to reflect changes in the application under testMaking minor changes in the application requires updating many similar tests
