TEST AUTOMATION

Mamunur Rashid
 Automation=  Automatic Control
 The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor and
time.
Manual testing

 This type includes the testing of the Software


manually i.e. without using any automated tool or
any script.
Automation testing

 Automation testing which is also known as Test


Automation, is when the tester writes scripts and re-
run the test scenarios that were performed manually,
quickly and repeatedly.
Manual VS. Automation
Necessity of Test automation

 Comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes


execution of tests.
 Saves Time and Money. A time savings that translates directly
into cost savings.
 Increase Test Coverage. Automated software testing can
increase the depth and scope of tests to help improve software
quality.
What to automate?

 It is not possible to automate everything in the


Software; however the areas at which user can
make transactions such as login form or registration
forms etc
When to automate?

 Test Automation should be uses by considering the


following for the Software:
 Large and critical projects.
 Projects that require testing the same areas frequently.
 Requirements not changing frequently.
 Accessing the application for load and performance
with many virtual users.
 Stable Software with respect to manual testing.
 Availability of time.
How to automate?

 Automation is done by using a supportive computer language like vb


scripting and an automated software application. There are a lot of
tools available which can be use to write automation scripts. Before
mentioning the tools lets identify the process which can be used to
automate the testing:
 Identifying areas within a software for automation.
 Selection of appropriate tool for Test automation.
 Writing Test scripts.
 Development of Test suits.
 Execution of scripts.
 Create result reports.
 Identify any potential bug or performance issue.
Software testing tools

 Following are the tools which can be use for Automation testing:
 HP Quick Test Professional
 Selenium
 IBM Rational Functional Tester
 SilkTest
 TestComplete
 Testing Anywhere
 WinRunner
 LaodRunner
 Visual Studio Test Professional
 WATIR
