The document discusses test automation in agile environments. It covers Capgemini's World Quality Report on automation, the evolution of business models and IT ecosystems, and challenges with agile automation. Key topics include testing being embedded within the Scrum process with no separate schedule for testing, the importance of test-driven development and behavior-driven development, achieving high levels of automation coverage, and using tools like Cucumber, JUnit, and Selenium to support test automation. The document emphasizes that automation is necessary to achieve faster time to market and increased productivity in agile.

The document provides guidelines for designing a robust test automation framework. It discusses that a well-designed framework increases testing efficiency and reduces costs. The key aspects of framework design include defining objectives, selecting the appropriate framework type, managing data, ensuring reusability, integrating with other tools, and flexible execution and reporting. Idexcel's test automation framework was created following these best practices to provide a maintainable and reusable framework.

This document proposes an automated test architecture for the UI Builder application using REST API testing, UI testing, and integration testing. It recommends the Rest Assured library for API testing due to its ability to integrate with Jenkins and remove the need for manual HTTP calls. Protractor is proposed for UI testing as it allows testing Angular applications in JavaScript and integrates well with Selenium. Both test frameworks would be set up with their own Git repositories linked to Jenkins jobs. Integration testing would link the API and UI test repos. The test automation aims to provide faster feedback and reduce regressions as the application grows.

Traditional test processes are not adaptive to extensive changes in software. Agile process emphasizes on ability to adapt to changing business needs, customer collaboration, integrated teams and frequent delivery of business values. Agile is an umbrella term that describes a variety of methods including XP and Scrum. The talk will discuss pitfalls of the traditional testing process. Traditional testing process happens very late in the SDLC Where as Agile process focuses on test-first approach. The talk will explain benefits of going agile. Principles and practices of agile process will be discussed and agile methodologies Scrum and Extreme Programming will be discussed in detail. Purpose of Scrum, its effectiveness, timings and managing the scrum will be discussed. Some of the practices for XP like Pair Programming, Test Driven Development will be discussed. The Talk will also cover the QA role in agile world. The talk will cover the implementation issues while shifting from traditional to agile process. Talk will also include an interactive game for illustration of concepts.

The document discusses creating a high-performing QA function through continuous integration, delivery, and testing. It recommends that QA be integrated into development teams, with automated testing, defect tracking, and ensuring features align with business needs. This would reduce defects and costs while improving customer experience through more frequent releases. Key steps outlined are implementing continuous integration and delivery pipelines, test-driven development, quality control gates, and measuring escaping defects to guide improvements.

Manual testing takes more effort and cost than automated testing. It is more boring and provides limited visibility for stakeholders. Automated tests can test single units, are reusable, and provide a safety net for refactoring. They also ensure all tests are run, drive clean design, and do not create code clutter like manual tests. An initial learning curve and questions around organization and reuse may prevent developers from writing automated tests, but designating responsibility and learning tools can help overcome these issues.

This document discusses automation testing and provides an overview of manual vs automation testing. It covers why automation testing is important, including allowing repetitive tests to run across multiple builds and reducing human error. Common automation tools like QTP and Selenium are mentioned. The history of automation from record and playback to modern keyword-driven approaches is summarized. Examples of building automation frameworks for QTP and Selenium are provided. In conclusion, the document promotes automation testing as important for the future.

The document discusses test automation process and framework. It provides details on what test automation means, benefits of automation, guidelines for identifying test cases to automate, challenges in automation, and components of an automation framework like data tables, libraries, object repositories, scripts, and results.

In this session, we would discuss what "Agile Testing" is, what are the well known methods and models of Agile Testing and what to expect on the future of Agile Testing.

Today we need everything reliable and accelerated, so to attain prompt results we are using varied automation testing tools. An automation tool is a piece of software that is run by little human interaction. Different testing tools are used for automation/manual testing, unit testing, performance, web, mobile, etc., more to that we have some open source testing tools as well.

This document discusses 6 traits of a successful test automation architecture: 1. Deciding which test levels to automate by considering factors like efficiency, expected vs unexpected scenarios, and intelligence vs repetitiveness. 2. Design principles for test automation including modularity, reusability, and separation of concerns. 3. Locator strategy which determines whether tests are flaky or robust, prioritizing unique, descriptive locators that are unlikely to change. 4. Methodology such as behavior driven development, test driven development, and continuous testing approaches. 5. Framework and language selection considering project dynamics and technologies. Examples mentioned are Geb, Spock, Groovy, and CodeceptJS. 6.

This presentation provides an overview of the role of testers on agile teams. In essence, the differences between testers and developers should blur so that focus is the whole team completing stories and delivering value. Testers can add more value on agile teams by contributing earlier and moving from defect detection to defect prevention.

This document provides guidance on conducting manual test estimation for the pre-sale phase of a project. It discusses factors to consider like requirements, environments, and complexity. Main activities to estimate include requirements review, test design, execution, and bug handling. Regression is calculated based on sprint count, tested functionality percentage, and environments. Risks like changing requirements and infrastructure issues are accounted for with multipliers. A demo is provided of estimating a real project involving calculations, environments, and risks. Statistics on past projects estimated duration and team size are also included.

The document discusses simplifying test automation through the use of design patterns. It begins by defining code smells that make tests complex, such as duplication, conditional logic, obscure tests, and fragile tests. It then explains several design patterns that can address these smells, including template method for removing duplication, strategy for replacing conditional logic, factory/builder for constructing complex objects, composite for grouping objects, and decorator for adding responsibilities dynamically. The document advocates for clean, well-structured test code through applying these patterns.

This document discusses patterns for test automation frameworks. It begins by introducing common patterns like page objects, business layer, and factories. It then provides examples of page object and business layer page object patterns. The document also discusses test data patterns and different ways to specify test data and locators. Finally, it outlines advantages of using patterns like reduced complexity, reusability, and maintenance. The key message is that the best pattern depends on the specific test automation context.

The document discusses software test automation. It defines software test automation as activities that aim to automate tasks in the software testing process using well-defined strategies. The objectives of test automation are to free engineers from manual testing, speed up testing, reduce costs and time, and improve quality. Test automation can be done at the enterprise, product, or project level. There are four levels of test automation maturity: initial, repeatable, automatic, and optimal. Essential needs for successful automation include commitment, resources, and skilled engineers. The scope of automation includes functional and performance testing. Functional testing is well-suited for automation of regression testing. Performance testing requires automation to effectively test load, stress, and other non-functional requirements

The document discusses concepts related to automated testing, including: 1) Automated testing scripts are developed and updated in sync with the cyclic development process of the application under test. 2) Automated testing is effective when the time to create, update, and analyze scripts across iterations is less than the time for manual testing. 3) Effective logging, test result modeling, and failure analysis are important for reducing the time spent understanding failures in automated tests.
