This is followed by a smaller set of system testers & user acceptance testers, and at the top of the pyramid are specialist groups like automation. I see a clear shift in this, driven by time-to-market pressures, leading to amalgamation of the development and testing functions. This shift towards convergence will invert the testing pyramid. Software engineers in test will work with developers to find and fix issues early and often, and become the base of the pyramid. Manual testers will be the smaller customer and exploratory-focused team at the top of the pyramid. Automation will drive much of the possible testing across the spectrum.

It was a difficult thing for me to wrap my head around at first. Not because I couldn't understand the process of verifying inputs and outputs, but because I couldn't come to terms with writing code to verify that some other code I wrote was correct. Why would my tests be any more trustworthy a source?Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:00:00 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5415//Agile-Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5415//Agile-Automationlisa.crispin@gmail.comAgileAutomationThe trends: globalization; test automation; commoditization; compliance, regulation, and tort law; and, education and certification.

In this article, I will introduce a method for testing and automation called Action Based Testing (ABT) and illustrate how you could use it to achieve effective and timely automation in Agile projects.Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5292/Software-Test-Automation-Where%27s-the-Value/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5292/Software-Test-Automation-Where%27s-the-Value/Automationsbarber@perftestplus.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5293/Achieving-Value-with-Automated-Acceptance-Tests/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5293/Achieving-Value-with-Automated-Acceptance-Tests/AutomationLhayes@worksoft.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5294/Developer-Level-Automation-Value-from-%22Velcro%22-to-%22Velocity%22/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5294/Developer-Level-Automation-Value-from-%22Velcro%22-to-%22Velocity%22/Automationrsabourin@amibug.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5295/The-Simple-and-Powerful-Build-Verification-Tests-(BVT)/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5295/The-Simple-and-Powerful-Build-Verification-Tests-(BVT)/Automationalanpa@microsoft.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5296/Functional-Automation-is-the-Gateway-Drug-to-Continuous-Delivery/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5296/Functional-Automation-is-the-Gateway-Drug-to-Continuous-Delivery/Automationadam@element34.caAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5297/Experiences-with-Adding-Value-Through-Test-Automation/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5297/Experiences-with-Adding-Value-Through-Test-Automation/Automationacaracostas@redwoodco.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5300/Test-Automation-Misconceptions-and-Money-Pits/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5300/Test-Automation-Misconceptions-and-Money-Pits/Automationhans@logigear.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5301/Test-Automation-at-the-API-Layer-Why-Bother/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5301/Test-Automation-at-the-API-Layer-Why-Bother/Automationbj.rollison@testingmentor.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5305/Top-Tips-for-Addressing-the-Automation-Challenge/Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5305/Top-Tips-for-Addressing-the-Automation-Challenge/Automationsbarber@perftestplus.comAutomationMon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5268/How-to-Successfully-Build-an-Automation-Program/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5268/How-to-Successfully-Build-an-Automation-Program/Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Automationsreekanth.singaraju@gmail.comSoftware Test Professionals ConferenceAutomationTo effectively implement an automation program, the same approach and similar effort is needed when building complex software. You will be integrating a system with many parts as well as software (i.e. scripts and glue software). Additionally, to complicate things the automation software will be interfacing with another application (application under test). Therefore the same lessons learned in building systems and software should be applied to your automation project.
