Test AutomationPROCESS & STRATEGIES

Why Automation?

- Reduced Cost

- Reduced Effort

- Reduced Time

- Enhanced Quality

- Reusability

- Consistency

Manual Testing

• is time and cost consuming

• presents difficulty testing for multilingual sites

• can become boring and hence error prone

Automation Testing

• does not require Human intervention. You can run automated

test unattended (overnight)

• increases speed of test execution

Affordability

What to Automate?

Test Cases that are executed repeatedly and are time consuming

Test Cases that are tedious and don’t require manual intervention

Test Case that can survive the functional changes around them

Test Cases that have clear pass/fail criteria

Test Cases that are newly designed and not executed manually at least once

Test Cases for which the requirements are changing frequently

What Not to Automate?

Planning, Design, Development & Execution

Automation tools selected

Framework design and its features

Deliverables of automation testing

Maintenance becomes necessary to improve

Selenium Automation Frameworks

Hybrid framework is a combination of Modular and Data driven framework

Utilizes the best technologies and resources to do the job

Open source testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but more powerful and easier to use

NG of TestNG means Next Generation

Eliminates most of the limitations of the older framework and gives the tester the ability to write more flexible and

powerful tests with help of easy annotations, grouping, sequencing & parameterizing

Benefits

It gives the ability to produce HTML Reports of execution

Annotations made testers life easy

Test cases can be Grouped & Prioritized more easily

Parallel testing is possible
