| Concepts: |
| |
| This tutorial takes the student through planning and implementing an automated test effort that
is tailored to succeed in their environment. It combines the principals used to plan an automated test effort,
select tools, and build an automated test team with practical applications and examples of scripting techniques,
test execution, reporting, and measurement for automated test efforts. |

| Objectives: |
| |
|
Participants will learn:
- Factors necessary to succeed with test automation in your environment
- What you can automate, what it will cost, and what return on investment you can expect in
terms of efficiency gains and bugs shipped
- What testing can be automated at each phase of software development
- How to set realistic goals
- What to automate first, last and not at all
- How to find and evaluate automation tools
- What kind of talents and activities need to be part of an automation test team
- How to develop and use a defensible consistent strategy for planning, developing, executing,
reporting, and maintaining automated tests
