Azerbaycan Test Automation Boot Camp (ICP-ATA) Eğitimi

Who Should Attend?

Students who have completed an foundational Agile testing course have found it very helpful when completing this course.

• Identify different requirement types
• Define different tests for different application types
• Review the various tools and methods available for test automation
• Write a test case as a Gherkin scenario
• Construct modeling and diagramming techniques
• Write the steps of an automated test
• Record and playback a test in both Selenium WebDriven and Ranorex
• Partition a recorded test case into reusable modules
• Exploit automated testing for data-driven, multi-platform and cross-browser testing
• Use test automation for implementing continuous integration

Part 1: Introducing Test Automation

1. Watch an Automated Test
2. Requirements
   
   • Exercise: Identify different requirement types
   • Exercise: Make requirements testable
3. Testing Types
   
   • Black-box vs. white-box
   • System testing vs. integration testing vs. unit testing vs. acceptance testing
4. Application Types
   
   • Process-driven or data-driven: no "one size fits all"
   • Exercise: Define different kinds of tests for different application types
5. The Alphabet Soup of Tools and Methods
   
   • Selenium. Gherkin. Cucumber. HPQC. Jira—you hear all of these. What do they mean? How do they fit together? Which do you need and which can you safely ignore?
   • Exercise: Testing facts and fallacies

Part 2: Preparing for Test Automation

1. Effective Partitioning Schemes
   
   • Exercise: Structure a system into processes (actor goals), activities, actions
2. Use Cases and Test Cases
   
   • Exercise: Create a test case for a single activity from a written use case (happy path)
3. Behavior-Driven Languages
   
   • Exercise: Write a test case as a Gherkin scenario
4. Modeling and Diagramming Techniques
   
   • Exercise: Construct a UI navigation map for normal and alternate flows
5. Equivalence Partitioning and Boundary Value Analysis
   
   • Exercise: Define input value choices and use TAME to construct test alternatives

Part 3: Recording Automated Tests

1. Automated Test Steps:
   • Pre-checks, Inputs, Events, and Post-Checks
   • Exercise: Write the steps of an automated test
2. Record and playback a single test
   • Exercise: Record and play back a test in Selenium WebDriver
   • Exercise: Record and play back a test in Ranorex

Part 4: Dissecting Automated Tests

1. Recorded Test Steps
   
   • Exercise: Examine recorded steps in Selenium and Ranorex
2. UI Element Repositories
   
   • Exercise: Examine the components of a UI page
   • Exercise: Create path expressions to locate page elements

Part 5: Assembling Automated Tests from Modules

1. Test Suites, Test Cases, and Modules
   
   • Exercise: Partition a recorded test into reusable modules
2. Modular Test Development
   
   • Exercise: Construct test cases from existing modules
   • Exercise: Construct new modules for alternate behaviors

Part 6: Coding Automated Tests

1. Code always, Code sometimes, or Code never
2. The Skills Pyramid
3. Open-source and commercial tools
   
   • Exercise: Compare tools and team capabilities

Part 7: Exploiting Automated Testing

1. Test-driven development: test cases as specifications
2. Data-driven tests
   
   • Exercise: Define data tables for equivalence partitions and boundary value analysis
3. Multi-platform and cross-browser testing
   
   • Exercise: Run test cases on multiple web browsers

Part 8: Enabling Continuous Integration with Test Automation

1. Regression test suites
2. Development events trigger test runs
3. Configure test subsets
   
   • Exercise: Define a minimal "smoke test" and contrast with a full regression suite
4. Report test results
   
   • Exercise: Design a dashboard for quick reporting of test results

Part 9: Course Summary

1. Quiz: Testing facts and fallacies
2. Exercise: Plan your own test automation strategy
