A number of areas are covered, wherein each of the area provides a checklist to ensure that the automation testing process is going in the right direction and can achieve expected results. The checklist is prepared by bringing in key members who understand the product from a technical aspect (product specialist, senior developer, architect), knows the product’s testing needs (team representative, tester, team manager) and also know the product history and roadmap (project manager, product owner, system owner). In this article, you will get to know about the six points that are required to assess test automation activity. Following is a checklist that comprises six important points to assess test automation activity: Test automation assessment checklist 1. The objective of test automation: The expectations required out of test automation activity The test level on which the automation needs to be implemented. 2. Considering the System Under Test: Ascertain whether the system has a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or not Determine whether it is a tailored or service standard system, a pre-configured system, or an internally developed system Managing surrounding systems in the target test environment by taking into consideration dependencies and integrations Encountering errors in the system and the level of their severity. Analyzing the impact Dynamic identifiers contained in the GUI elements (object name) in the system The standard libraries capability for the programming language is extended by the use of third party components The usage of base technologies (Ex: SOA, REST, C#, .NET, Java, Websphere) in the system under test APIs, REST/SOA services that can be best suited for testing and/or data management The documentation of external interfaces to the system The system should have an updated and relevant SAD (System Architecture Description) The extent to which the system under test uses automated unit tests. 3. Considering the situation of the surrounding development: The frequency of production deployments and releases The current phase of product development The frequency of test environment deployments and releases Analyzing the use of established development practice Ascertaining whether the system under test is developed incrementally Ascertaining the use of any issue tracking system/task The programming language that is being used to develop the system Streamlining the communication process between developers and testers. 4. Considering the test automation: The key members involved in taking up the responsibility of test automation maintenance Any specific concept that needs to be implemented Consider whether the project has any failed automation attempts Version management and backup of the test scripts should be strategically planned The test automation solution should be documented in a planned manner Calculate the ROI for the test automation activities. 5. Considering the testing situation: Automating those documented test cases that are ready Scrutinize the frequency of errors for the regression tests The environment status for which planning is required in order to run automated tests The current number of testers per developer that are available in the project The key project members who are experienced in the automation process and to what extent The specific usage of any test automation tool The necessary control over the test data. 6. Considering the test environment: The data that is being used in the test cases have any complex dependencies or not The initiation of deploys to the test environment. 01 02 03 04 05 06 The objective of test automation Considering the System Under Test Considering the situation of the surrounding development Considering the test automation Considering the testing situation Considering the test environment assess test automation activity
