The document discusses the need for test automation, particularly in the context of browser automation, to address increasing manual testing efforts and challenges in achieving test coverage. It outlines key activities involved in automation such as understanding application elements, interaction, and data management, with a specific example of a login process. The focus is on how automation replaces manual interactions with code to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and facilitate repeatable testing.
Automation testing overview
- 2. ď˝ Need of Test automation ď˝ Concept of Browser Automation ď˝ Key Terms ď˝ Key Activities
- 3. ď˝ Increasing manual efforts with increased scope of testing ď˝ With increased scope, accomplishing test coverage becomes a challenge (cycle time increases) ď˝ Greater manual dependency for test execution ď˝ Repeatable testing efforts with no reusability ď˝ Scope of human errors/defect slippage
- 4. ď˝ Automation is simply understood by automatic interaction with application to achieve desired results ď˝ Manual interaction is replaced by code ď˝ Eg: Login process ⌠Open application with url ⌠Wait for application load ⌠Enter username/password ⌠Click submit button
- 5. ď˝ Three major activities/concepts performed during automation are: ⌠Understanding application elements ⌠Nature of interaction ⌠Data we provide ď˝ Understanding with login example discussed earlier
- 6. ď˝ Objects/elements ⌠Username/password(text area), submit button ď˝ Components ⌠Login test case ď˝ Data ⌠Url, username/password value ď˝ Keywords ⌠Interaction ď˝ Test/Suite ⌠Quote Creation, collection of multiple tests ď˝ Reports ⌠Results post test suite execution
- 7. ď˝ Objects identification ď˝ Keywords identification ď˝ Components creation ď˝ Creation of Test and suite ď˝ Data management ď˝ Test Execution ď˝ Viewing Reports
