What is test automation?

• Test automation is not limited to QA. • It is automating repeatable test cases using a tool • Automation is not just Selenium• Not all test cases can be automated.

How to start with automation?

Do not just do with Selenium IDE. Selenium IDE is not an industry requirement. You should know C++, C#, Java or Python Know Object Oriented Concepts. Read about the tool you are studying Use a good tutorial site (Example guru99) Start automating some real scenarios

Plan Test Automation : Can all the projects be automated ?

• “No”• Short term projects• Projects which has only less production life cycles• Exploitary testing • Different technology platforms.• Skill issue

Plan Test Automation : Criteria go for test automation

Time Number of release cycles Skill Technology Manual test case count

Planning Test Automation : Procedure

Look at the technical skills of the team. Look at the QA budget. Select a right test automation tool. Select the scripting language. Select a good automation framework.

Data Driven Framework

Data driven testing is an action through which a set of test input and/or output values are read from data files

QTP facilitates Data Driven testing Selenium does not given out of the box solution. Data driven testing using Selenium

Keyword Driven Testing

In keyword driven test framework, all the operations and instructions are written in some external file like excel worksheet.

Keyword Driven Testing

Modularity Frameworks

The test script modularity framework requires the creation of small, independent scripts that represent modules, sections, and functions of the application-under-test.

Hybrid Frameworks

Keyword Driven + Data Driven Modularity + Data Driven

Automation Test Tools

Automation Framework Automation is beneficial if it is done in a framework. It is structure which promotes

Configurable Reportability Scalability Extendibility Re-usability

Automation Test Framework Types

Data Driven Test Frameworks Keyword Driven Modularity Hybrid Frameworks

Java Automation Framework

Priority of automating test cases

Smoke Test Build Verification Test Regression test

Positive (Happy path) scenarios Negative scenarios

Is functional testing only test automation?

No Unit testing Web services testing Security testing Mobile testing Performance testing ->No

Plan Test Automation Scripting : Procedure

In the sprint planning session plan for automation activity. For each QA activity if we can do automation include it in the

User Story. Have acceptance criteria established for each user story. Better to have a separate user story for automation.

Automation Execution Deliver Scripts

Automation Scripting : Procedure

Start with creating a page objects and methods. Create the test scripts utilizing the page objects. Execute and see whether the script is working towards the test

case intended. Discuss the automation activity and its progress in daily scrum. Make sure it satisfies the acceptance criteria of the user story. Review the completed script.

Automation Script Execution: Procedure

Demo the script to the scrum team. Start execution of the script against the functionality. If we have a regression suite include it in the suite. Execute the regression suite. Share the results with the scrum team. Make the report available for the entire scrum team.

Deliver Scripts: Procedure

If we have a regression suite include it in the suite. Deliver the script to the client – if there is an agreement Have the scripts included in the continues integration server. Make the report available for the entire scrum team.

Continues Integration

Hybrid automation frameworks

Breaking the Selenium boundaries

Selenium and ZED Attack Proxy

Selenium and WhiteStack

C# Framework Automates with Windows functionality Can be used as a mix with Selenium and WhiteStack

Executing Selenium Scripts with QC

Quality Center -> HP Proprietary test management tool Executes manual as well as QTP scripts OTA API provides lot of functionality Can integrate Selenium test execution in QC it self.

Selenium ~ QC Integration

Extending Automation Framework

Can we create a global one framework???

Yes With all the integration in API level
