automation.
Agenda

 Why use testing tool


 Differences between manual and automated
testing
 GUI and Command Line Test
 Testing tools
 Notes
Why use testing tool

Which test cases can
be automated?

Tests that need to be run for every build of


the application (sanity level, Regression test)
Tests that use multiple data values for the
same actions (data driven tests)
Tests that require detailed information from
application internals (e.g., SQL, GUI attributes)
Stress/load testing

Which test cases can’t
be automated?
Usability testing
 "How easy is the application to use?"
One-time testing
"ASAP" testing
 "We need to test NOW!"
Ad hoc/random testing
 based on intuition and knowledge of
application
Tests without predictable results

GUI Test Automation

 What is GUI Test


 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Testing
 Methods used to identify and conduct GUI tests,
including the use of automated tools
 Three Major Elements
 Test script
 GUI map objects
 Application Under Test (AUT)
 Capture and playback.

Interactive Test
Automation

 Test requires interactive steps


 Via console, CLI
 Use command language: TCL, Expect, Perl,
Unix shell…
Testing Tools
 SilkTest
 WinRunner & Xrunner
