Track: Test Automation
The key to success in test automation is defining the structure and hierarchy of the testware. This simplifies the test design approach and allows the incorporation of test as a parallel activity to development in an Agile environment with short iterations.
First, the presentation illustrates how to achieve the requirements’ testability, controllability, and observability.
Second, four principles of testware design are presented:
- Nested relationships of the test objects (test set, use case, test case, and test action) – to maintain the hierarchy of architecture and requirements
- Libraries of test cases that describe the specifics of the test execution – to separate the business functionality from the implementation details
- Enforced structure of a test case (including steps for setup, execution, comparison, cleanup) – to guarantee the recovery from failure
- Test language that supports the test hierarchy – to simplify the testware maintenance.
