Automated Software Testing
There are two approaches to perform software testing. One is
manual testing where test cases are manually executed with different scenarios;
the other is automation testing in which pre-set steps are executed using
external tools. Today, many organizations are using ‘Agile
Methodology’ to make their software processes more interactive and responsive,
and thus, test automation becomes a requirement. Basically, it is a process to
automate manual steps and tools are used to perform tests repeatedly against an
application. The main purpose of software test automation is repeatable performance at lower price.
Software Test automation improves
efficiency of a software testing process. We can automate various types of
testing - functional testing, to check the application’s operations; regression
testing, to determine the application’s behavior after sets of fixes have been
made; exception testing, to verify application’s error handling capacity; performance
testing, to assure various application characteristics like response time,
speed, throughput, efficiency of the system. Stress testing and load testing check
the robustness and determines the capacity of an application, respectively.
