Building Automated Test Systems is available for download from `www IndyaCellular in` 13 different languages technologies to automate software test apps with minimal, if not zero cost implications
Press Release Summary = The Project is about sharing insights into Test Automation, which is for the benefit of Test Engineering community which is yet to mature. There are wizard driven tools available in the market, which Organizations buy but later regret when they cannot justify the Return on Investment. Even the project\'s completeness and acceptability remains challenged. Its taken some of the most popular tools and automated a couple of tests. Later, it has automated the same tests using free-ware tools and/or differnt scripting languages and technologies. So at the end, its an automation project implemented using 13 different programming/languages and the later has been towards sharing technical expertise and insights to build test suites using minimal (if not zero) cost implication.
Press Release Body = Building Automated Test Systems for Microsoft Windows is a book along with Surce code released under open source license. Available for download from www.IndyaCellular.in
Nothing Cellular about it.
Indian-ness Of Course is.
Background of Automation Tools: Mostly (if not all) Test Tools available in the market today are based on Record & Play, which is easier said or done. The Organizations worldwide have been spending so much on the Test Tools and later regret when they are not been able to justify the ROI. The objective remains to explore/make the engineers realize, what goes behind those fancy tools and to what extent that helps/doesn't help.
The book has taken standard test sutes (the most common office apps) and practically demonstrated test plans automated with varied combinations of automation.
1. Using 3 most popular commercially available test tools along with live implementations, and shortcomings associated.
2. Later part is automating the same test suite using 10 different scripting/programming languages, which are mostly free or minimal cost implications.
13 different implementations to automate testing of Microsoft Office/Calculator/.... and so on. Point wise details are:
Automation Tools: Winrunner QuickMacros QA Run
Building Test Automation Infrastructure/tool to Project OLE Automation: Using VBS for Automation Using Perl for Automation Using JS for Automation Using TCL-TK for Automation Using Winbatch for Automation
All the above has been done using OLE implementation and scripting language as the front end to write code. WSH: Perl/Active Perl Vbs
