|
Test automation efforts often result in implementation failure or lack of long term commitment. One of the most common reasons is the cost associated with maintaining test scripts. When quality professionals find it difficult to construct, execute, analyze, or update scripts, the expectations of management are not realized; therefore the effort is usually terminated. An innovative way to avoid test automation failure can be achieved by utilizing a framework and a common program available in most business' software portfolios. A simple to develop, user friendly product that promotes high reuse of test scripts, reduces maintenance burdens associated with test scripts, and increases user productivity can ensure continued success in your test automation efforts. Learning Objectives: - How to build a test script creation tool that is loosely coupled from the application under test (AUT), the test automation engine, and the AUT's software development platform.
- How to create well documented automated test scripts that can be read and understood as manual test scripts.
- How to abstract the complexity of building, executing, analyzing, and maintaining test assets from users that do not have programming experience.
- How to reduce errors and test script maintenance while improving user productivity and the quality of the applications under test.
