- 10. 1. Design the Automated Tests with Test Aspects Use Test Aspects** Advantages • Test aspects briefly describe • Clear overview for all team “why” and “what” has to be members about test coverage tested, without describing • Simplicity helps you to do “how” quick reviews and • Enables for early testing walkthroughs with your product because tests can be written at owner the same time the user story is • Enables you to identify manual created and automated test duplicates • Test aspects are structurally • Traceability between test derived cases and specification **Swiss Testing Day Presentation 2010: “Mit Testaspekten früh, intelligent und redundanzfrei testen” Melanie Späth Image Source: http://www.masternewmedia.org/images/social_software_impact_individual_organizations.jpg

Modeling of the Biz Domain Layer Tests • Modularization and reuse of components: Flow Objects maintainable & Biz Domain extendable e2e tests Page Objects Layer • Crucial to have in Biz Domain Layer depth knowledge of WebDriver the domain Browser • Enable data driven testing by generic test cases

- 17. 4. Lean Test Automation Technical Debt Lean Test Automation • Activities that result in • Eliminate Waste Definition of Done technical debt include • Build Quality In Reviews • Postponing documentation and • Create Knowledge Document the essentials writing tests • Defer Commitment Don’t build a framework • attending to TODO • Deliver Fast comments and • tackling compiler and • Respect People Long Leash static code analysis • Optimize the Whole warnings • Knowledge that isn't shared around the organization • Code that is too confusing to be modified easily
- 18. Conclusion Be clear why you want to automate Open source is your best friend Flip the testing triangle Treat automation as a software project Work with the right people Stay lean Test automation is much more than just your automation toolset!
