Automation Automation TestingTesting

Why ?

What's Automation Testing ?

-> Frequency Of regression testing on demand.

-> Frequency of build

-> Mission critical business

-> To avoid Human errors

-> To check Load Capacity of the application.

-> GUI Frozen

When ?

Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests (Test Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests (Test Case).Case).

Commonly, test automation involves automating a manual process already in Commonly, test automation involves automating a manual process already in place that uses a formalized testing process.place that uses a formalized testing process.

-> Reduce the impact on the bottom line (Regression Testing)-> Increase the flexibility of time and resource , to avoid redundancy on execution.

-> Accuracy & Fast

Automation Testing - Capabilities and Areas

Is it Expensive ?

1) Functionality testing

2) Regression Testing

3) Performance Testing

3.a) Stress Test

3.b) Load Test

3.c) Volume Test

Yes of course ! Its expensive and time consuming effort at initial stage.


December 16, 2006


Are you thinking of 100% Automation ?

-> Impossible ..Stop Dreaming…….

-> Certainly you have areas like performance testing, regression testing, load/stress testing where you can have chance of reaching near to 100% automation.

-> Areas like User interface, documentation, installation, compatibility and recovery where testing must be done manually.

Will your automation suite be having long lifetime?

-> Every automation script suite should have enough life time that its building cost should be definitely less than that of manual execution cost.

-> Approximately your automation suite should be used or run at least 20 to 30 times for separate builds (General assumption. depends on specific application complexity) to have good ROI.

Is Tool Selection more Important ?

-> Be sure to have skilled staff before deciding to automate your testing work.

-> Make sure that tool is a best fit to your requirements

-> Find out the limitations of the tool that is best match with your requirements


December 16, 2006


Web AutomationWeb Automation

Why web app is different ? (web based commercial system B-C, B-B & C-C)

-> Catering to large number of end user

-> People with varying background & technical skills may use the application.

-> Network thread (Security , Connection speed (Broad band , dial-up etc.. ))

-> Numerous application usage

-> Browser issue (IE ,Mozilla fire-fox etc.., )

-> ADA (American with disability act) (The Application may need to be tested for compliance and usability)

-> Money & Time Zone Factor (Standards)

Hence a lot of effort needs to put in for Test Planning and Test Design

Object-oriented automated testing tool that tests Java, HTML, VB.NET, and Windows applications.

Create and edit simple and easy-to-read, object-oriented test scripts.

Available in two integrated development environments and two scripting languages Java and VB.NET

Perform full functional testing. Record and play back scripts that navigate through the application and test the state of objects through verification points.

IntroductionIntroduction


December 16, 2006


15

In addition to automatically recording test scripts, Functional Test contains wizards for generating code, for example, for automatically creating a verification point.

The object-oriented recording technology in Functional Tester lets you generate scripts quickly by recording applications against the application-under-test. Functional Tester uses object-oriented technology to identify objects by their internal object properties, not by screen coordinates. If the location or text of an object changes, Functional Tester can still find it on playback.

IntroductionIntroduction


December 16, 2006


16

FeaturesFeatures

Functional Object Map:

Since the test object map contains recognition properties for each object, we can easily update the recognition information in one central location. Any scripts that use this test object map also share the updated information.

Verification points:The verification point captures object information

(based on the type of verification point) and stores it in a baseline data file. The information will be the baseline of the expected state of the object during subsequent builds.Platform Independence: Functional Test features platform-independent and browser-independent test playback.


December 16, 2006


17

FeaturesFeatures

Data-Driven Tests:Data-driven testing uses data from an external file,a

data pool, as input to a test. A data pool is a collection of related data records that supplies data values to the variables in a test script during test script playback.

Call Script:While recording or editing a Functional Test script,

we can insert a call to a previously recorded script. This lets us to avoid repeatedly recording similar actions on the application-under-test by taking advantage of scripts that already exist.Wait For Existence:

Use to set a wait state for an object during playback to check for its existence.


December 16, 2006


18

FeaturesFeatures

Break Point:A breakpoint causes the execution of a program

thread to suspend at the location where the breakpoint is set. When a breakpoint is enabled, it will cause a thread to suspend whenever the breakpoint is reached

Integration with Test Manager:Functional Test is integrated with Rational Test

Manager, which enables us to record and play back a Functional Test script from Test Manager.

Back

Script Assure Technology:Frequently changes applications UI can break tests,

Which embody assumptions about how to identify the interface objects during playback Avoid increases in maintenance overhead.

RisksRisks

Re-work on the recorded script happens if the application under test is not stable.

The Testers must be well trained on the tool, Business Knowledge to ensure effective Scripting and testing.

RFT will take huge amount of system memory when play back the scripts.

LOV selection is more complicate one.

Some basic script and OOPS knowledge needed to ensure effective and optimised Scripting. (at least one developer support Required)


December 16, 2006


21

Best Practices For Basic ScriptingBest Practices For Basic Scripting

While recording avoid TAB positions, instead click on the specific object, AVOID KEY BOARD.

Even though there is a default curser position, click on the object explicitly

Avoid Clicking on the Calendar components, instead type the values manually

Before Starting recording, Click on the initial window from where the recoding needs to be started


December 16, 2006


22

Best Practices For Basic ScriptingBest Practices For Basic Scripting

Maintain the dedicated Application Server and DB.

If possible, communicate with developers for component changes that had happened in the new release so that it would be easier to trace those position in the recorded scripts

Back

Test Design, common objects map, common data pool and component based scripting improve the script quality.Record the mandatory Fields only.

Understanding Test Objects Understanding Test Objects

A Test Object in represents a connection point between the script that is playing back and the Software Under Test (SUT). There is a corresponding object that exists in the SUT for the Test Object that exists in the RFT script.

In the normal course of action statements are recorded and objects are added to the Object Map.

The Object Map contains information that the script can then use to construct and find a Test Object When something like Button().click() is recorded the Button() method finds an object based on mapped properties and then “binds” the Test Object to an object in the SUT.

Understanding Test Datapool Understanding Test Datapool

A datapool is a test dataset, a collection of related data records which supplies data values to the variables in a test script during test script playback.

Datapools use to supply realist data and to stress an application with a realistic amount of data.

Datapool Feature

To add realistic data to a test script

To import / Export data from a Functional Tester datapool, an IBM® Rational® Test Manager datapool, or a .csv file created using a spreadsheet application.

To create a datapool manually and add data to a datapool

To edit datapool values or change data types

To change the datapool record selection order to determine how the test script accesses an associated datapool during playback.
