- 4. Today’s Agenda 4 1 3 2 4 What is codeless test automation? Tips to get started with codeless automation The challenges of scripted test automation Applause Codeless Automation explained
- 5. • Create automated scripts without needing to code • Different methodologies for creating test scripts: • Unstructured crawling through your website • Structured: record and edit (like Applause Codeless Automation) • Structured: using keywords, etc. • Low code vs. no code • A recent Applause survey revealed: • 54% of qualified respondents have strategic plans to purchase a codeless automation tool • Top purchase drivers: improve test coverage (55%), mature test automation faster (48%) What is Codeless Test Automation? 5
- 6. RESOURCES Automation is too costly, we can’t properly source automation experts. SKILLS Automation is only understood by one or a few team members. TIME Can’t automate or mature automation quickly enough. Which One of These is You? 6
- 7. 3 TIPS FOR CODELESS TEST AUTOMATION
- 8. 1st tip: Start With a Smoke Test Suite 8 • Simple • Smoke tests/regression Tests • Logging in/out • Critical business flows • Repeatable • Very basic functionality • Done w/every release • Atomic • No dependencies • Can run on their own
- 9. • Codeless example • Add something to cart • Manual example • Test the CAPTCHA (verification that user is human) • Scripted example • Use different data over and over again and test the results Test Case Examples 9
- 10. • Create building blocks for longer tests, and reuse test components. 2nd tip: Modularize Your Tests 10 Login Search Add to cart Login = = + Search actions Login + Search Checkout = Login + Add to cart Add to cart actions Checkout actions + +
- 11. AND NOW FOR A QUICK DEMO…
- 12. 3rd tip: Get Your App Ready 12 • Use static data, not dynamic data • Make it easier to identify your elements (use accessibility IDs etc.) • Minimize conditional logic • Make it easy to create builds
- 13. Why Applause Codeless Automation Stands Out • Create and execute tests all from one place. • Lower barrier gets you automating faster. • Easy export to Jira for bug tracking. • APIs to integrate with CI/CD. • No need to hire/train automation experts. • SDETs freed up for more complex/valuable tests. • Improved test coverage. • Support for both mobile and web (web coming later in 2021). • No code/automation skills needed. • Nothing to instrument. • More team members able to help alleviate bottlenecks.

Where ACA Fits Into Your Workflow 14 Development Production Smoke test with ACA for every commit QA Manual exploratory testing for features without test cases Smoke test with ACA to determine QA readiness Full regression and automated regression Manual regression and automation retest Release decision with AQS In-Sprint Testing, ticket verification Spoiler alert: ACA support for CI/CD workflows expected in July.
