Achieve the promise of faster, more reliable delivery by automating your software tests. Learn universal techniques that adapt to your business, technology and team skill sets.

High performing organizations use automated testing to achieve greater productivity and reliability. Every change and new feature are instantly checked to see if it meets intended requirements and doesn’t break the rest of your systems.

Today every software team faces the challenges of delivering more capabilities on faster timelines with greater reliability.

Whether you associate it with a buzzword like “DevOps” or “Agile,” or just call it “being more responsive to the business,” test automation is the key to improving the efficiency, capability, and speed of your development and delivery processes. Yet many teams fear test automation to be challenging, difficult, or impractical. How can you tame the madness and start to achieve the benefits on your schedule and budget?

Learn the lingo of test automation: Selenium, Gherkin, Cucumber, HPQC, Jira, and others. There’s an alphabet soup of complex tools that seem beyond your reach. What do they mean? How do they fit together? Which do you need and which can you safely ignore?

Understand how to organize your systems to get the most out of automated testing.

In this test automation training course, you will learn how to improve your development throughout and reliability by replacing slow, boring, and error-prone manual testing with fast, repeatable automated tests. Organize your systems and processes to get the most out of automated testing. Improve system reliability by improving test coverage. Support deployments across many platforms with a single set of reusable tests.

Outline

Part 1: Introducing Test Automation

Watch an Automated Test
Requirements
- Exercise: Identify different requirement types
- Exercise: Make requirements testable
Testing Types
- Black-box vs. white-box
- System testing vs. integration testing vs. unit testing vs. acceptance testing
Application Types
- Process-driven or data-driven: no "one size fits all"
- Exercise: Define different kinds of tests for different application types
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

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

Part 3: Recording Automated Tests

Automated Test Steps:
- Pre-checks, Inputs, Events, and Post-Checks
- Exercise: Write the steps of an automated test
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

Recorded Test Steps
- Exercise: Examine recorded steps in Selenium and Ranorex
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

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

Part 6: Coding Automated Tests

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

Part 7: Exploiting Automated Testing

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

Part 8: Enabling Continuous Integration with Test Automation

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

Part 9: Course Summary

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