Automated Testing Process

In the field of S/W testing, there are two kinds of test techniques: manually and automatically. Both are developed to run tests and then evaluate the results against the intended outcome.
Manual testing, as a term is used to describe it, is a procedure that humans use to test whether software can perform the tasks it is designed to do. What exactly is automated testing? It is the act of conducting tests in a controlled way and also controlling test data, and using the results to enhance the quality of software. If you're looking to improve your performance at work and gain a better understanding of Test Automation Engineer, this course is the ideal option for you. This course can assist in achieving the best quality of performance at the job.
If you're experienced with testing, you know that the subsequent development cycles require running with the exact test program often. This can be extremely tedious and exhausting when performing the task manually. With the aid of an automated testing tool, it's much easier to build the test set-up, and replay it whenever needed which reduces the need for human intervention and increasing the return on investment of testing.

When you implement any automated tool, there are four stages of the procedure. Each stage involves a specific job, and each stage is the result of a specific task.

Automated Testing Feasibility- Analysis initial step will be to decide whether the application is able to be automated or not. Certain types of applications are not able to be automated due to limitations.

An appropriate tool selection The 2nd important step is to choose the best set of the right tools. It's based on the kind of technology the application is built on, and its capabilities and usage.

Select the proper framework- choosing this tool to use, the next step is to select the right framework. There are many frameworks and each one has their own significance. Frameworks will be discussed in more depth in the following tutorial.

Create Proof of Concept - Proof of Concept (POC) is developed with an end-to end scenario to see if the tool can be automated in its applications. This is accomplished by with an end-to-end scenario that ensures that the core tasks are automatized.

Create Automation Framework - After developing this framework, POC Framework development is performed and is essential to the success of any automation project. Framework development must be completed following a an exhaustive review of the technologies used within the program and the primary characteristics it provides.

Create a Test Script to execute-, and then analyze the results once Script development is completed, the scripts are then executed and the results reviewed and any flaws are noted and reported if they are. It is vital to know the fact that Test Scripts are usually version controlled.
