Automated functional testing is one of the hardest things to get right on a project. Many people with high hopes set out to develop fully automated regression tests, only to be caught up in the tangle of fragile tests which are always broken. In this session I will present a clean way to build a framework using free tools to develop an internal Domain Specific Language custom to the application being testing. I will show the benefits of this approach versus the record and modify methods of most automated testing tools. In addition, I will talk about a real working practical example I have developed for the Dept of Health in Welfare in testing their new case management system.
