Organizations often purchase Software Test Automation Tools without the proper amount of research
and planning, and as a result end up with results that can approach a total failure. The tools themselves are often
blamed, but only after much money and effort are spent in trying to achieve successful results. The reasons driving
these decisions are related to time to market, hope for an increased quality level of testing, and being able to
do more with fewer resources.
A proper application of automated test tools can, in fact, result in many (or all) of these benefits, but only
when applied properly. Automated testing cannot be thought of as something that replaces traditional manual testing
methods, but rather, as something that augments it. It cannot make up for a lack of planning and process.
This course is geared toward the Quality Assurance Manager / Test Lead and will walk the student through a step-by-step
process which he/she will be able to use to determine if their organization is right for automation, how to evaluate
and select automated testing tools, how to develop effective test plans and scripts, which metrics to collect and
how to report on them, and how to build an effective organization around the use of these tools. |
