2.  Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for
operating equipment with minimal or reduced human intervention.
 The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor, however, it is also
used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and
precision.
 Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic and computers, usually in
combination.
INTRODUCTION

3.  In software testing, test automation is the use of special software to
control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with
predicted outcomes.
 Test automation can automate some repetitive but necessary tasks in a
formalized testing process already in place, or add additional testing that
would be difficult to perform manually.
 Now days we can get lots of Software Testing Tools in the market.
Selection of tools is totally based on the project requirements
 Latest Automation tools used :
 QTP
 Test Complete
 Selenium
 Watir
 JMeter
 Load Runner
INTRODUCTION

4.  Save time and less work
 Auto-sync requirements, test cases and defects
 Import / Export, integrate with other systems
 Capture tools integrate into defect tracking tools
Faster and easy to use
 View, mark results, update test cases and defects without leaving the target
test application
 Create defect quickly
 Customization and Integration
 Easy to customize new features
 Integrate into many specified tools
 More Control, Visibility
 Control and keep track of changes, assignments
 Track status across lifecycles
 View the real time status, statistical data, associated trend
 Cloud Deployment
 Flexible and low cost
TRENDS

5. FUTURE OF AUTOMATION
TESTING
1. Faster-Higher-Stronger
Faster Release
• Need value from every hour spent on testing
Higher Quality
• Greater test coverage of specified and implied requirements
Stronger Capability
• Not only functionality but also performance, security, usability…
• Ability to develop test solutions
2. Complicated technology/application platform
• Cloud computing , Mobile, Enterprise System…
3. Global testing team-Global Competition
• Communication, crowd source testing…
4. Automation testing is must
• More effective solutions are needed
5. Less on processes, more on practices
• Agile, Exploratory, Rapid testing

6. INTEREST AREAS
Interests :
Since companies are looking for faster way to do things to compete in
the market, Automation is important as it will save time and test products
immediately as they are developed.
Innovation :
I would like to develop a tool which would process natural language
and convert it into test cases and hence device can directly test from it
Intend To Work On :
I would intend to work on similar projects which would increase
efficiency if given a chance of internship
