For example, you’ll find the typical testing tool vendor website provides a section on “Technologies Supported” and one vendor’s tool strength will be in the windows desktop market, while another’s might be in the browser market or in a combination of markets, but none will support all technology markets.Fri, 26 Apr 2013 07:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5769/Basics-of-Test-Automation-Part-3---Test-Automation-Approach/End-to-End-Test-and-QA-Testing-Automation-Error-Handling-Future-Test-Quality-Assurance-Regressionhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5769/Basics-of-Test-Automation-Part-3---Test-Automation-Approach/End-to-End-Test-and-QA-Testing-Automation-Error-Handling-Future-Test-Quality-Assurance-Regressionsmita.mishra@qazone.inEnd to EndTest and QATestingAutomationError HandlingFuture TestQuality AssuranceRegressionHere is the final part of the 3 article series and the simplest one to absorb. Once the methodology is finalised and understood, the next hurdle is to approach automation in a phased manner to implement our automation methodology.

Here we shall go through the steps as part of the automation methodology that we define. And brings us to a point where we can now start automation. ROI calculation will be published shortly as a intermediate story. The last in the series shall be published soon giving us the approach for automation - phase wise - task wise.

If you wish any particular topic to be touched upon on the subject, please drop a feedback here and I will be glad to include it in the next 2 parts. This part talks about- What is Test Automation and what benefits it brings. What are the costs associated, Is it truly more economical to automate? Real benefits, myths and true costs of Test Automation are listed out.Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:30:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4829/Dr-Cem-Kaner---Software-Test-Luminary-Award-Winner-2012/Awards-Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Test-and-QA-STP-Community-News-Automation-Services-Exploratory-Software-Testinghttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4829/Dr-Cem-Kaner---Software-Test-Luminary-Award-Winner-2012/Awards-Software-Test-Professionals-Conference-Test-and-QA-STP-Community-News-Automation-Services-Exploratory-Software-Testingrbaucom@redwoodcollaborative.comAwardsSoftware Test Professionals ConferenceTest and QASTP Community NewsAutomationServicesExploratorySoftwareTestingCem Kaner wins Software Test Luminary Award 2012Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5658/Reconsidering-Acceptance-Test-Driven-Development---I/Testing-Software-Agile-Automationhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5658/Reconsidering-Acceptance-Test-Driven-Development---I/Testing-Software-Agile-Automationmatt.heusser@gmail.comTestingSoftwareAgileAutomationWhere Matt Reconsiders ATDD.

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.
