6. Method 1. Create a test plan for the area 2. Analyze existing test coverage and tests 2. Gather required coverage and missing tests 4. Determine test cases to develop 5. Determine what test oracles to use 6. Automate? = Yes: Develop tests using keywords. No: Improve manual test forms.
7. A functional test case Is an instance of a low level Use Case Is one of the pathways through a test scenario Can combine several positive, or at least one negative outcome Can operate on four test levels: Unit: Calling/Checking an atomic function Integration: Calling/Checking internal functions that again calls other functions System: Calling/Checking several functions when doing a specified user task Acceptance: How the functions/tasks and appearance are supporting the actual customers processes/needs
9. How to find Test oracles History versions Company image Comparable products Claims/documentation User expectations Product itself Purpose Statutes
10. Test cases – base them on structured analysis Decision tables State charts User scenarios Boundary value analysis Careful and Un-ambigous Input/output value selection
11. Best practise - automated test design Think broad, start small Use keywords for maintainability Risk based – start with the subset of tests that usually breaks and hurts most
13. Test execution in framework Test case 1 Test case 2 Goal: Make each test independent of each other, and ensure they are not breaking each other, for max integrity & test confidence, reproducable in the simplest way, and ensure a detailed product status quality feedback to the team
14. Keyword driven testing One test case consist of one or more keywords Keywords are used by the test driver to run specific test scripts Can represent technical concepts, functions, or be more abstract. i.e. represent a business model. Abstract keywords are more maintainable Keyword instances does not embed scripts itself Keywords and scripts can be reused by several test scenarios and test cases Are defined in XML templates and used by test cases in a decoupled fasion Keyword inherrits data driven testing, by sending parameters when invoking a keyword script library

Structure: What it is/each part made of?Functions: What it does?Data: how it does it?Platform: what it depends upon?Operations: how it is used?Time: howit is affected by time?
Unit tests and functional system test are the obvious choice for automation. 70 % unit tests& 30% functional system tests will be optimal.
