<span class="_Tgc">In software <b>testing</b>, <b>test automation</b> is the use of special software (separate from the software being tested) to control the execution of <b>tests</b> and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes.(wiki)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="_Tgc">Automation can be divided into two categories</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span class="_Tgc">Functional Automation</span></li>
<li><span class="_Tgc">Non Functional Automation</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span class="_Tgc">Concept of automation is same like functional and non functional testing. For example if you want to automation functional testing its called functional automation and if you want to automate non functional automation its called non functional automation</span><br />

Benefits of Software Automation Testing </h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Test automation enables one to achieve detailed product testing with significant reduction in test cycle time.</li>
<li>The efficiency of automated testing incorporated into product lifecycle can generate sustainable time and money savings.</li>
<li>Better, faster testing.</li>
<li>Rapid validation of software changes with each new release of application is possible.</li>
<li>Automated testing increases the significance and accuracy of testing and results in greater test coverage.</li>
<li>Automated testing offers a level of consistency, which is not achievable through the use of manual testing.</li>
<li>Automated testing eliminates the time constraints associated with manual testing. Scripts can be executed at any time without human intervention.</li>
<li>Automated test scripts are re-usable, and can be used across varying scenarios and environments.</li>
<li>Enhanced productivity.</li>
<li>Automation eliminates many of the mundane functions associated with regression testing.</li>
<li>Manual Testing of all work flows, all fields , all negative scenarios is time and cost consuming</li>
<li>It is difficult to test for multi lingual sites manually, automation is a big support for this.</li>
<li>Automation does not require Human intervention. You can run automated test unattended (overnight)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
When to automate</h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>If you are working in Agile</li>
<li>Regression test cases</li>
<li>Multilingual websites</li>
<li>GUI Testing</li>
<li>Performance testing</li>
<li>Acceptance test cases if they are in large amount</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Risks involved in Automation Testing</h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Resources skills</li>
<li>Automation tool cost</li>
<li>Frequent changes in GUI</li>
<li>Tool selection</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Automation Tools</h4>

<h4>
 Automation Tool Selection</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The second step in test automation tool evaluation is the selection of tools. While selecting tools it is important to remember that no single tool will satisfy all the requirements. The tool that meets most of the evaluation criteria should be chosen after discussion with stakeholders. Based on the tools limitations with respect to requirements, the automation activities must be planned. All tools that meet most of the evaluation criteria can considered for evaluation. When many tools are found to satisfy the evaluation criteria, further analysis of tools should be done.<span style="color: #383331; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Ÿ</span> </div>

Characteristics or qualities of a good QA/Tester

0 Software Testing, Tips

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
A good test engineer has a 'test to break' attitude, an ability to take the point of view of the customer, a strong desire for quality, and an attention to detail. Tact and diplomacy are useful in maintaining a cooperative relationship with developers, and an ability to communicate with both technical (developers) and non-technical (customers, management) people is useful. Previous software development experience can be helpful as it provides a deeper understanding of the software development process, gives the tester an appreciation for the developers' point of view, and reduce the learning curve in automated test tool programming. Judgment skills are needed to assess high-risk areas of an application on which to focus testing efforts when time is limited.<br />

<br />
The same qualities a good tester has are useful for a QA engineer. Additionally, they must be able to understand the entire software development process and how it can fit into the business approach and goals of the organization. Communication skills and the ability to understand various sides of issues are important. In organizations in the early stages of implementing QA processes, patience and diplomacy are especially needed. An ability to find problems as well as to see 'what's missing' is important for inspections and reviews.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>    Have good analytical skills</li>
<li>    Never compromise on quality</li>
<li>    Ensure the end user /business user satisfication</li>
<li>    Think like an end user and work like technical person</li>
<li>    Ability to prioritize the work</li>

<b>Question #2</b><br />
Ken, an entrepreneur in Leeds finds the quality of the tea locally available so low, that he<br />
decides to research superior teas around the world. He decides to market, sell and<br />
distribute these superior teas via the web. His market strategy is to offer superior products<br />
on a well-designed website with graphics that are fast to load, has high availability, superior<br />
usability and fast response times.<br />
The website will offer the following:<br />
- An innovative interactive catalogue of teas, which not only enables customers to buy the<br />
product, but also enables them to provide feedback by rating the teas (which will influence<br />
his stock purchasing levels)<br />
- Provide the customer with the ability to use secure credit card transactions<br />
- Provide the customer to give general feedback<br />
Ken selects an iterative model for the development of the prototypes. The team consists of<br />
<br />
three developers that are experienced in web development. Ken, although he doesn't have<br />
technical skillset, is concerned with quality. He doesn't believe a lot of documentation is<br />
necessary and he wants the website to be completed quickly.<br />
The test basis contains the following:<br />
- Story boards that show the information flow and page links through the site<br />
- HTML pages developed to date.<br />
- A statement of non-functional requirements.<br />
With the strategy taking shape, Ken asks your advice on the specific testing techniques<br />
that should be used to complete the required testing, bearing in mind the nature of the<br />
application and the nature of Ken’s overall objectives.<br />
