- 2. Agenda Why Automated Testing? Which Test Cases to Automate? Automated Testing Process Framework in Automation Benefits of Automation Testing Types of testing that can be automated How to Choose an Automation Tool? Automation Testing Tools
- 3. Which Test Cases to Automate? Test cases to be automated can be selected using the following criterion to increase the automation ROI High Risk - Business Critical test cases Test cases that are executed repeatedly Test Cases that are very tedious or difficult to perform manually Test Cases which are time consuming The following category of test cases are not suitable for automation: Test Cases that are newly designed and not executed manually atleast once Test Cases for which the requirements are changing frequently Test cases which are executed on ad-hoc basis. GUI test cases
- 4. Why Automated Testing? Automated software testing is important due to following reasons: Manual Testing of all work flows, all fields , all negative scenarios is time and cost consuming It is difficult to test for multi lingual sites manually Automation does not require Human intervention. You can run automated test unattended (overnight) Automation increases speed of test execution Automation helps increase Test Coverage Manual Testing can become boring and hence error prone.
- 5. Automated Testing Process Following steps are followed in an Automation Process
- 6. Framework in Automation A framework is set of automation guidelines which help in Maintaining consistency of Testing Improves test structuring Minimum usage of code Less Maintenance of code Improve re-usability Non Technical testers can be involved in code Training period of using the tool can be reduced Involves Data wherever appropriate
- 7. Framework in Automation There are four types of framework used in automation software testing: Data Driven Automation Framework Keyword Driven Automation Framework Modular Automation Framework Hybrid Automation Framework
- 9. Benefits of Automation Testing Following are benefits of automated testing: 70% faster than the manual testing Wider test coverage of application features Reliable in results Ensure Consistency Saves Time and Cost Improves accuracy Human Intervention is not required while execution Increases Efficiency Better speed in executing tests Re-usable test scripts Test Frequently and thoroughly More cycle of execution can be achieved through automation Early time to market
- 10. Types of testing that can be automated Smoke Testing Unit Testing Integration Testing Functional Testing Keyword Testing Regression Testing Data Driven Testing Black Box Testing
- 11. How to Choose an Automation Tool? Selecting the right tool can be a tricky task. Following criterion will help you select the best tool for your requirement- Environment Support Ease of use Testing of Database Object identification Image Testing Error Recovery Testing Object Mapping Scripting Language Used Support for various types of test - including functional, test management, mobile, etc... Support for multiple testing frameworks Easy to debug the automation software scripts Ability to recognize objects in any environment Extensive test reports and results Minimize training cost of selected tools
- 12. Automation Testing Tools Selenium QTP (HP UFT) Rational Functional Tester WATIR SilkTest
- 13. Automation Testing Tools Selenium It is a software testing tool used for regression testing. It is an open source testing tool that provides playback and recording facility for regression testing. The Selenium IDE only supports Mozilla Firefox web browser. It provides the provision to export recorded script in other languages like Java, Ruby, RSpec, Python, C#, JUnit and TestNG It can execute multiple tests at a time Autocomplete for Selenium commands that are common Walkthrough tests Identifies the element using id, name , X-path, etc. Store tests as Ruby Script, HTML, and any other format It provides an option to assert the title for every page It supports selenium user-extensions.js file It allows to insert comments in the middle of the script for better understanding and debugging
- 14. Automation Testing Tools QTP (HP UFT) It is widely used for functional and regression testing, it addresses every major software application and environment. To simplify test creation and maintenance, it uses the concept of keyword driven testing. It allows the tester to build test cases directly from the application. It is easier to use for non-technical person to adapt to and create working test cases It fix defects faster by thoroughly documenting and replicating defects for developer Collapse test creation and test documentation at a single site Parameterization is easy than WinRunner QTP supports .NET development environment It has better object identification mechanism It can enhance existing QTP scripts without "Application Under Test" being available, by using the ActiveScreen
- 15. Automation Testing Tools Rational Functional Tester It is an Object-Oriented automated functional testing tool that is capable of performing automated functional, regression, data-driven testing and GUI testing. The main features of this tool are It supports a wide range of protocols and applications like Java, HTML, NET, Windows, SAP, Visual basic, etc. It can record and replay the actions on demand It integrates well with source control management tools such as Rational Clear Case and Rational Team Concert integration It allows developers to create keyword associated script so that it can be re-use Eclipse Java Developer Toolkit editor facilitates the team to code test scripts in Java with Eclipse It supports custom controls through proxy SDK (Java/.Net) It supports version control to enable parallel development of test scripts and concurrent usage by geographically distributed team
- 16. Automation Testing Tools WATIR It is an open source testing software for regression testing. It enables you to write tests that are easy to read and maintain. Watir supports only internet explorer on windows while Watir webdriver supports Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, etc. It supports multiple browsers on different platforms Rather than using proprietary vendorscript it uses a full featured modern scripting language Ruby It supports your web app regardless of what it
- 17. Automation Testing Tools SilkTest Silk Test is designed for doing functional and regression testing. For e-business application, silk test is the leading functional testing product. It is a product of Segue Software takeover by Borland in 2006. It is an object oriented language just like C++. It uses the concept of object, classes, and inheritance. Its main feature includes It consists of all the source script files It converts the script commands into GUI commands. On the same machine, commands can be run on a remote or host machine To identify the movement of mouse along with keystrokes, Silktest can be executed. It can avail both playback and record method or descriptive programming methods to get the dialogs It identifies all controls and windows of the application under test as objects and determine all of the attributes and properties of each window
- 18. Automation test with Selenium Selenium automates browsers. That's it! Selenium is a set of different software tools each with a different approach to supporting test automation Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors
- 20. Selenium’s Tool Suite Selenium WebDriver Newest addition to the Selenium toolkit Selenium RC or Remote Control Selenium RC was the main Selenium project for a long time Now Selenium 1 is deprecated and is not actively supported Selenium IDE(Integrated Development Environment) Prototyping tool for building test scripts. It is a Firefox plugin and provides an easy-to-use interface for developing automated tests. Selenium IDE has a recording feature, which records user actions as they are performed and then exports them as a reusable script in one of many programming languages that can be later executed. Selenium-Grid Solution to scale for large test suites Allows you to run your tests in parallel, multiple environments. Different tests can be run at the same time on different remote machines http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/01_introducing_selenium.jsp
