What does It mean by "developers' false catches" ? It means those implementations or application unexpected behaviors which should not be automated with automation framework. Why those should not be the candidates for automation? It is observed that adding these kinds of requirements in automation may set short ROI for organizations but it never becomes for long terms – You may ask “why” again, below are couple of examples which put more lights on this question. Case-Study : #1 “Product Team has new requirements in build 1.2.x like objects inputs are changed with prefix or suffix strings and that affects more than 1000 automated test-case(s)” Due to limited resources and short dead line to certify build(1.2.x) of the product, Product lead comes to AFT and asks for help. He requests to update Automation Framework in such a way that manages prefix and suffix inputs and his team does not have to update their test-case(s). As part of the service team (AFT), we provided soluti

Everyone is talking about automation tools like QTP, WinRunner, LoadRunner,Silk Test, Selenium Bla Bla bla ... but Once these tools come into real practice and he\she has to automate test-case(s) with them in existing automation framework. How far we can go with our goal? This post gives opportunity to discuss on characteristics of test-case(s) while doing designing for test-case(s) in automation. Below are the couple of thoughts, I believe to have in automated test-case(s). §          Concise - Test-case(s) should be as simple as possible. i.e. Test-case(s) should not call multiple other complex Test-case(s). It should have minimum dependency. §          Self Checking – Test-case(s) should have verification steps and It should report in its results such that no human interpretation is necessary. For example, I have found in one project; team has around 1500 test-case(s) – out of more than 44% test-case(s) has steps like 1.       Open Menu Item. 2.       Enter A/C

I had a challenging project to automate Java Objects on the fly – sharing some part of it. Challenges I faced 1. Objects which are built on top of JMesa , JQuery, JSON and AJAX technology -- are not recognized by professional automation tools (such as QTP and SilkTest). 2. How to automate Dynamic Graphs which are implemented with technologies like Flotr and 3D Canvas. 3. Web application needs to automate with cross-browsers ( IE 6.0+ , FF 2.0+ or Safari 2.0+ ) It focus objects screen rendering issues which are different from one browser to other. How can we overcame • Challenge #1 and #2 can be resolved with below automation approach. Verify HTTP Responses when user does some actions like objects fire specific AJAX calls; We simulate these AJAX calls ( HTTP requests ), capture valid\expected response, set them as baseline and in QA loop we simulate user actions again with automation, capture actual response and compare with baseline. • Challenge #3 can be resolved with below automatio
