  2. Why to go for Test Automation To avoid the errors that humans can make It can also record the results of the test accurately If properly implemented, it can save of a lot of time

  5. Principles of Test Automation • Hierarchy – Focus on the test suites hierarchy. • Atomic Tests – Single test should test only one functionality. • Independent Tests – There should be no interdependence of tests.

  6. Attributes of Test Suites • Maintainability - The most important quality attribute of a test suite, is also the most difficult to achieve. - It can be achieved by: • Extensive use of variables • Return on Error Message • Modularity

  7. 2.Reliability - Reliability of the product is dependent on test developers. 3. Performance - Performance, an important attribute, has still been rated below maintainability and reliability. 4. Optimization - One software defect should be reported by only one test of a test suite.

  8. Benefits for Test Automation Cost – Test automation reduces the cost of testing Reliability - Test automation reduces the risk of human error Performance – It reduces the testing cycle time and hence increases the performance

  9. Conclusion • It can be said that test automation is more of a change in the mindset than anything else. • Test automation involves all the phases/activities of software development and thus, the people involved in it must have sufficient exposure to software development. • This is the fundamental change required at all levels, to ensure the success of test automation.
