Understanding Agile and Test Automation
Before delving into the specifics of implementing test automation in Agile, it’s essential to understand the core principles of both Agile and test automation.
Agile Development is an iterative and incremental approach to software development that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer-centricity. It focuses on delivering small, functional increments of software, known as “user stories” or “features,” in short timeframes called “sprints.”
Test Automation involves using automated testing tools and scripts to perform repetitive and time-consuming test activities, such as regression testing, load testing, and functional testing. Test automation aims to increase testing efficiency, accuracy, and speed while reducing manual effort.
Challenges in Implementing Test Automation in Agile
Continuous Change: Agile projects are characterized by changing requirements and frequent updates. This dynamic environment can pose challenges for maintaining automated test scripts, as they may become obsolete quickly.
Time Constraints: Agile emphasizes short development cycles. This means that testing needs to keep up with the pace of development, requiring automation to be both efficient and effective.
Collaboration: Agile teams rely on close collaboration between developers, testers, and other stakeholders. Effective communication and collaboration are essential to ensure that automated tests align with the project’s goals.
Best Practices for Efficient Test Automation in Agile
1. Start Early
Begin test automation efforts as soon as possible in the project lifecycle. Test automation should be an integral part of the development process from the beginning. This ensures that automated tests can evolve alongside the application, adapting to changing requirements.
2. Select the Right Tools
Choose test automation tools that are well-suited for Agile development. Tools like Selenium, Appium, and JUnit are popular choices because of their flexibility and compatibility with Agile practices.

TAE SYLLABUS BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
13. 13
• The introduction of test automation are ONLY reasonable and
even only possible with existing, well-established testing
processes
– “Automating chaos just gives faster chaos!”
– “A fool with a tool is just a fool!”
• Note: The introduction of test automation is often connected to short
term productivity loss.
– Test automation is therefore no solution for short term staff
shortages.

3. Re-using test automation
components for different or
evolving TASs
4. Easing the maintenance and
evolution of TASs
5. Defining the essential
features for a user of a TAS
27. 27
• Single responsibility: Every TAS component must have a single
responsibility, and that responsibility must be encapsulated entirely in the
component.
• Extension (see e.g., open/closed principle by B. Myer): Every TAS
component must be open for extension, but closed for modification.
• Replacement (see e.g., substitution principle by B. Liskov): Every TAS
component must be replaceable without affecting the overall behaviour
of the TAS.
• Component segregation (see e.g., interfaces segregation principle by
R.C. Martin): It is better to have more specific components than a
general, multi-purpose component.
• Dependency inversion: The components of a TAS must depend on
abstractions rather than on low-level details.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR A TAS
28. GTAA OVERVIEW 1 (4)
Test automation to be
interconnected with
• Project management
• Configuration management
• Test management
Often realized by use of a Test
Automation Framework such
as
• JUnit
• TTCN-3
29. GTAA OVERVIEW 2 (4)
Four distinct layers:
• Test Generation Layer
• Manual or automated design of test cases
• Means for designing test cases
• Test Definition Layer
• Definition and implementation of test suites and/or
test cases
• Separates the test definition from the SUT and/or test
system technologies and tools
• Test Execution Layer
• Execution of test cases and test logging
• Test Adaptation Layer
• Adapt the automated tests for the various components
or interfaces of the SUT
• Provides different adaptors for connecting to the SUT
via APIs, protocols, services, and others
30. GTAA OVERVIEW 3 (4)
Further details to the layers follow
Important: A TAS may contain some, but not all layers
• A test execution TAS will have test execution and test adaption layers
• A test generation TAS will have test generation and test definition layers, and may also
have test execution and test adaptation layers
31. GTAA OVERVIEW 4 (4)
• The interfaces between the gTAA
layers and their components are
typically specific and, therefore,
not further elaborated
• Most often, one would start with the
implementation of a TAS from
bottom to top
• It is advised to implement the TAS
in incremental steps (e.g., in
sprints) in order to use the TAS as
soon as possible and to prove the
added value of the TAS
• Proofs of concept are
recommended as part of test
automation project
32. 32
• 40 multiple choice questions, with a pass mark grade of 65% to be
completed within 90 minutes.
• Participants that take the exam not in their spoken language, will
have a total of 113 min.
• The typical duration of the Advanced Level Test Automation Engineer
Training offered by an Accredited Training Provider is 3 days.

Why a Model-Based Tester certification at
foundation level?
1. Model-based testing is an innovative test approach to improve
effectivity and efficiency of the test generation process.
2. A model-based tester on a project uses models to drive test
analysis and design, and keeps advantage of the models for other
testing activities such as test implementation and reporting.
3. ISTQB® Model-Based Tester certification complements the core
foundation level as a specialist module.
4. It provides a practical and easy entry to the MBT approach.
