Automation Testing
Automation testing is a Software testing technique to test and compare the actual outcome with the expected outcome. This can be achieved by writing test scripts or using any automation testing tool. Test automation is used to automate repetitive tasks and other testing tasks which are difficult to perform manually. Automation testing helps in reducing the test execution time.
When/What to Automate?
Now that we know what exactly is Automation testing, let’s check which test cases to automate. Or, what all test cases are ideal candidates for automation.
Test cases that test critical functionality of the application
For example, for an e-commerce application, the critical functionality would be the product discovery via search and category pages, add to cart and then buy functionality. So, these test cases should be first chosen. Test cases for add to Wishlist and notify me etc. should be of lower priority. Hence should be picked accordingly for automation.
Test cases that require repeated test execution with a large dataset
There are many test cases or application flow that require performing an action again and again. Such test cases are also ideal candidates for automation as automation reduces a considerable amount of testing effort.
Tests that are time-consuming
Workflows that require a considerable amount of time to execute and set up are also ideal candidates for automation. Let’s take the example of e-commerce application forward. If some test cases require the setup of multiple products and then performing some operation on those products.
Test cases that require parallel execution
There are scenarios that require checking the concurrent access to the application e.g. in the case of performance testing with multiple users. In such cases, either manual testing is not feasible or it would require a lot more resources to test the particular scenarios.
IOTASCALE's approach to Automated Testing
Automation testing reduces the overall test execution time. Since automated test execution is faster than manual test execution. • It reduces the cost and resource requirements of the project. This is because the script created once can be made to run any number of times as long as there is no change in the application.
