Description

Title : Automation Strategies for Agile Testing "Is your automation testing 'Agile' or 'Fragile'?" Abstract: The simplest of all frameworks is known as "Record & Playback" framework. Simply recording all test scenarios doesn't hold up in the long term because there is duplication of recorded test code when testing similar scenarios. Moreover an Agile project's requirements can change any time leading to corresponding modifications in UI elements, their functions etc. When the application under test inevitably changes, even if the change is just in the locator of a UI element, testers will have to re-record all the test scenarios that are affected by that change. Even if the repetitive actions have been factored out into reusable modules, these modules don't use object oriented language features to make them more effective. From maintenance point of view Record-playback scripts are more expensive to maintain because the code they generate is long, complicated, not object oriented and must be further manipulated to put into reusable components. As test development is a software development activity so the same principles that apply to application development apply to test development. This session will cover that just as there are well established design patterns to write effective application software, there are analogous test design patterns that enable writing low maintenance test code. By using these patterns with an object-oriented language, test developers can write tests that insulate them from application changes in Agile projects as well as from the test tool.
