Automation Testing

Objectives

To reduce the regression cycle time
To improve test coverage
To reduce cost
To improve traceability
Providing a central repository for all test artifacts

Test Case Selection Criteria

Test cases requires the verification and validation of multiulle attributes, objects and components
Test cases needs to be executed with external data that resides in a database system or spreadsheet
Test cases will be used for security testing
Test cases will be used for regression, functional testing
Test cases will be used to validate values, calculations, etc, displayed on a customized report, or online report
Test cases will be repeated many times or is highly repetitive (i.e Test script will need to be executed multiple times on different software releases or builds)
Test script will be played back with multiple sets of data (i.e. Data driven scripts, parameterized scripts)
The application under test has a stable environment with repeatable conditions
Test script will be used for integration testing and requires correlation across multiple business processes.

Guidelines for Automation

Full time dedicated resources
Well-articulated test framework
Application independent test framework
Development of common components for different applications
Module independence
Framework independent test strategy/design vocabulary
Clear demarcation between test framework designers and Automation team.

Software testing ensures the reliability of applications: manual testing for user experience, automation for efficiency, performance for speed, and security for data protection.
