Automation of software tools are little complicated as it depends on the environment and type of product that is to be handled. Here is the procedure for the testing:
- Selection of testing tools
- Scope of automation testing should be predefined
- Planning of entire set up
- Test execution
- Maintenance of the process
Selection of tool is quite important otherwise result may or may not be good enough. You should check expert available with you and type of software that is to be tested. Knowledge of script is important. QTP runs mainly in JavaScript so knowledge of this light programming language is quite important.
Scope of Automation process:
Scope determination should be done carefully otherwise it may or may not be good enough in final result.
- Aspects that are directly concerned with the testing process
- When large data to be executed
- Basic functions must be checked properly
- Scope of all components that are concerned with the main functionality
- Cross browser testing should be done properly
Overall testing is not a process that works on a single concept. Planning should be done at multiple levels to deal with things properly. If you want to understand software testing further then ask our testers, they will help you.
