The digital space has already taken a progressive step towards making applications function seamlessly via testing in an efficient and foolproof way. This has been achieved with the onslaught Test Automation which has helped the industry move towards expediency with the use of the latest tools and technologies. Get a comprehensive insight on Software Test Automation, Automation using selenium, Automated Testing Process, Test Tool Selection, Scope of Automation, Planning, Design and Development, Test Execution and Maintenance with this presentation and the upcoming ones.

3. What is Automation Testing?
● Using an automation tool than executing the test case suite manually
● Entering test data into the System/Application Under Test followed by comparing the expected
and actual results
● Executing the same test suite repeatedly
● Recording and replaying the test suite
● Reducing the number of test cases executed manually

4. Why Automated Testing?
● No human intervention is required
● Testing multilingual sites
● Increases speed of test execution
● Increases test coverage
● Manual testing becomes time consuming, costly and error prone

6. Test Tool Selection
The following parameters should be considered before selection of the appropriate tool to be used
for Test Automation:-
● Data driven/Test driven/Behavior driven capabilities
● Hybrid framework
● Debugging and logging capabilities
● Platform independence
● Extensibility & Customizability
● Email notifications
● Version control friendly
● Supports unattended test runs

7. Scope of Automation
Scope of automation defines the area covered under automation for a software/application.
Following points help to determine this scope:
● Features which are crucial for the business
● Scenarios/Workflows covering tests which have a large amount of data
● Common functionalities across applications
● Technical feasibility
● Reuse business components
● Complexity of test cases
● Ability to perform cross browser testing using the same test cases

8. Planning, Design and Development
During this phase one creates an automation strategy and plan, which contains the following details-
● Selecting appropriate automation tools
● Creating the framework design and its features
● Identifying In-scope and Out-of-scope items of automation
● Automation test bed preparation
● Timeline for test case automation
● Scheduling execution of automation suite/s
● Deliverables of Automation testing

9. Test Execution
● Automation scripts are executed during this phase.
● Test suite automation run could be directly executed from the automation tool or indirectly from
a Test Management tool which will redirect the invoke request to the automation tool.
● Automation tool could execute the automation suite/s either on a single machine or distribute
the suite/s on several machines to achieve faster results.

10. Maintenance
Maintenance : Since new functionalities are added with successive cycles, Automation scripts require
updation and also need to be reviewed and maintained for each release cycle. Maintenance is necessary to
make sure that the Automation scripts are in a stable state.
