Advanced Test Automation

Product Description

Common sense recognizes the potential of automating test execution & the benefits that can be achieved, but typically less than 10% of test organisations have achieved significant benefit from investment in their automation tools. Automation can save cost & time & protect the stability of live systems, but only if correctly applied. This course provides practical & pragmatic solutions that can be readily applied.

Surveys show that up to 40% of all testing automation tools become shelf ware quickly, especially where knowledge is lost when personnel changes occur. The challenge & frequent failing of automation lies in creating a test suite that is capable of surviving the rigours of a testing project & yet can be updated & maintained effectively.

The execution of regression testing is the most common use of test execution tools & offers one of the best opportunities to increase the efficiency & coverage of testing, making the most difference to the business.

This course is aimed at those using, or planning to use, varieties of test execution tools & who wish to ensure that they have hands on knowledge of how to produce automation suites that really work in the real world. It covers the general techniques of automation, highlights the major considerations for the planning & preparation of automation & using hands-on exercises with automated tools looks at various approaches to automation. The course is delivered by an experienced practitioner who will have designed & implemented numerous successful automation projects & will share their knowledge of how they achieved success.
