Test Automation Process

Generating the Tests• OR Repository - Object Recognizaton• By Recording• Hand Coding AKA Descriptive Programming

Test Automation Process

Enhancing the Tests• Inserting check points

• Inserting output values

• Synchronization

• Parameterization

• Regular Expressions

• Recovery Scenario (Exception Handling)

• Inserting flow control statements

• Inserting transaction points

• Adding User Defined Functions

Test Automation ProcessDebugging the Tests• Watching variables

• Step by step execution

• Passing values to variables

Running the tests• Normal Execution

• Batch Execution

• Scheduled Execution

Analyzing the Test Results• Defining your own Results

Reporting the Defects• Report Manually, Report via Test Management tools (for

ex: Quality Center, TFS, etc.,)
