Test automation has changed considerably over the last twenty years: It has gone from a rare and expensive side effort to a necessary component of product development. However, delivering results is still not a straightforward proposition. One cannot just buy a tool and throw some people at it and expect all of the manual tests to be miraculously automated. Choosing the right tool and the right infrastructure, assigning the right people, picking the right tests to automate, and instituting a good development process are all necessary for success. Further, the company management needs to understand that test automation is a long-term investment that will not necessarily provide returns in the short-run and also that it is not a one-time project.

 

 

 

 

"This presentation provides an overview of how the LEIRIOS Smart Testing™solution boosts functional testing industrialisation by automatically generating executable test scripts for any third-party functional testing tool. LEIRIOS Smart Testing implements a model-based testing process: a UML model is used to capture the expected behaviour of the application under test, fulfilling the functional requirements. This model makes it possible to automatically generate test cases and test drivers including the traceability matrix between functional requirements and the test cases.
