4. Any Test Automation ACTIVITY should address
Manual Testing Efforts
Long feedback times
Operatıonal Blındness
Error-Prone Actıvıtıes

5. We need to make test automation
SUSTAINABLE

Manualtesting is strongly advised andALSO
required for SOMETest Level/types

IDENTIFY, ASSESS and MITIGATE RISKS
Be Friend of P-I Tables

PartiallyIndependentTest Data
StoringTest Datainan External Source
DynamicTest Data Management (MicroServices, GUI ?)

16. Learn more about Data Virtualization
It makes test data management easier
An added advantage here is thatif the data in any environmentis
corrupted – let’s say after a round of testing- it is very easy to
revert the data back to original state.

17. Make Test Automation, Backbone of the CI/CD Pipeline

18. Test Automation,
like other CI/CD
activities,is
extremely
CROSS-DISCIPLINARY
And require
different
skill and mind-set

19. MAKEEveryoneintheTeam

a clear understandingof
desiredsoftware
behaviorthrough
discussion with
stakeholders.
Martin Fowler’s Business Readable, Domain Specific
Language Blog Post

21. Another crucial point is to provide an
abstraction layer between automation
tool and test sUite.
Selenium, Sahi, UFT, Coded UI
whatever tool underlying
should not be concern
for automator

22. Three LayerArchitecture andBDD

23. A Test Architect is responsiblefor
FRAMEWORK LAYER, whichprovides
utility functionsto upper layers
It is heavily one-timeeffort, and not
addressedin the project iterations

24. DEVELOPERS within
projects/sprints is
responsible for PAGE
LAYER, provide
keywords for
upper/bdd layer.

25. Testers are responsiblefor TEST LAYER, which is
Better To BE BDD, to create business value to each
stakeholder
Analystsare responsible for detailedand
correct acceptance-criteria thatBDD Scripts
base on

26. ALSO %50 of THE MAINTENANCEEFFORTCOMES
