This document discusses test automation, including what it means, when it should be used, best practices, and examples of automation tools. Test automation involves writing software to reproduce the steps of a manual test process. It is useful for speeding up testing, improving coverage, and ensuring consistency. Tests that are repeated or will be run frequently are good candidates for automation. Common automation tools include NUnit, JUnit, Sahi, QTP, JMeter and Load Runner. Best practices include choosing the right tool, only automating repeated tests, identifying automatable cases, and using a data-driven approach.

- 4. Why Do we need Test Automation ? Speed up testing to accelerate releases Allow testing to happen more frequently Improve test coverage Ensure consistency
- 5. Few Examples If I want to create 100 users, which involves entering 10 different values in a user registration page, it makes more sense to write a small script to do this. If I want to execute 10 test cases everyday for next 3 months, then it makes more sense to write a small script for this.
- 6. When to Automate a Test ? Automate relatively stable functionalities which require repeated testing.
- 8. Various Automated Testing Tools used for different Testing Types Unit Testing – NUnit, JUnit Functional Testing – Sahi, QTP Performance Testing – JMeter, Load Runner
- 10. Automation Best Practices Choose a test tool that best fits the testing requirements of your organization. Only automate those tests that are going to be repeated. Before starting off with Test Automation, identify the test cases that can be automated. Automate the majority of your tests, which are fairly straightforward. Use a data-driven automated testing methodology.
