| Developers Compliance to Test Automation | | 2008-04-11 12:22:00 | | A TestSquad reader sent me an email asking:Is there a verification process to help validate that application developers comply to test automation requirements during their application development?Usually we just give the requirements and expect application developers to comply but when you are doing the automation scripts already, some things are still skipped. I am looking for a process that will help them comply.e.g. automation requirement: name tables as xxxxI have to admit that answering such a question is not easy. How can you guarantee that development activity is compliant with a subsequent test automation? How does the developer's code affect the success of your test automation?1 month ago, i was considering Selenium RC to automate a Java web application. Unfortunately and for a reason, automation was not introduced till a late stage in the project. So as soon as we started recording scripts, a problem emerged: the development team did not give an "id" attribute to the numerou | | By: Test Squad the Test Automation Blog | | |

| Marketing Automation for Your Online Business | | 2007-11-23 08:05:16 | | Marketing automation is an integral aspect of all CRM systems. It has special significance for online businesses. If you are an e-tailer and you wish to promote your business on the Internet, you should be aware of automated marketing software and its benefits for you. Marketing processes such as customer segmentation, integrating customer data, and managing campaigns can be time consuming if done manually.Campaign management becomes easier and more productive if you have software at your disposal that lets you chart out and execute steps like drafting initial offers, gathering and sorting responses, sending reminders and prompting you for follow-ups, and collecting survey information. The information thus acquired is critical in targeting your key customer segments and drafting compelling messages. You can automate your campaigns across multiple channels including emails, snail mail, phones, and door-to-door marketing.

| Mind Switching in Test Automation | | 2007-11-22 04:24:00 | | One of the challenges for a test automation newbie is the change of mindset; from a developer to tester and vice versa. I encountered this the first time I wrote my very first test automation script. I did some manual exploratory testing using mouse and keyboard, I visualized a certain repeatable intact scenario, recorded mouse and keyboard interactions, then played back the script and a neat automated test report popped with the passed and failed results, and I couldn't be happier :)As I finished my delicious launch, an email popped with an unpleasant content: Please test the functionality when the bla bla bla is not bla bla bla. Now wait, recording will not do me this. The only way I can do it is by writing my own new java class. So I rolled my sleeves up and started coding.Hours and hours passed, and noticed that my thinking is dangerously drifting into a developer mindset. I remember some testing guru saying : "A good developer is not a good tester", but am I not a developer now? H | | By: Test Squad the Test Automation Blog | | |

| Crapper Automation | | 2007-06-20 04:39:32 | | Mechanization best serves mediocrity.- Frank Lloyd WrightAutomation in public restrooms is becoming commonplace. The restrooms at my workplace have recently been remodeled and automated. The lights turn on and off automatically. The toilets flush automatically. Soap dispenses automatically. Faucets turn on and off automatically. Paper towels dispense automatically. All of the above appear to be good candidates for automation. Automation in the restroom is supposed to improve cleanliness, reduce maintenance, and cut supply costs. However, I am not certain that this is true in implementation. I have found the following bugs in our newly automated water closets.I have to walk about ten feet into the restroom in the dark before the lights come on.It has been reported that if one spends too much time seated on the throne, the lights will turn off leaving the occupant to finish their business in the dark.The paper towel dispensers spit out towels when someone walks by the dispenser.T | | By: Quality Frog | | |

| Intelligent Hospital Solutions - RIVA - Robotic IV Automation | | 2007-06-14 15:20:34 | |
Intelligent Hospital Solutions is building a system called RIVA which stands for Robotic IV Automation, it’s a large box of automation which would be installed in a hospital to aid in proper medication delivery. Have a close look at the second image, that’s right a huge robotic arm is used to move the product through various stages inside the machine. I wonder if the development team has some fun with the robotic arms before they are installed into the system?
Videos after the jump.
“Robotic IV Automation (RIVA) is a medical device developed by Intelligent Hospital Systems Inc. (IH Systems) which will be used by hospital pharmacies to automatically and accurately prepare IV syringes and bags. By automating the preparation of IV syringes and bags, RIVA will address the issues of safety for the patient and the pharmacy technician, efficiency and effectiveness in the pharmacy and the challenges of a changing regulatory environment.”

| Sapience In The Age Of Automation | | 2007-06-12 11:29:17 | | Society has unwittingly fallen into a machine-centered orientation to life, one that emphasizes the needs of technology over those of people, thereby forcing people into a supporting role, one for which we are most unsuited. Worse, the machine-centered viewpoint compares people to machines and finds us wanting, incapable of precise, repetitive, accurate actions. Although this is a natural comparison, and one that pervades society, it is also a most inappropriate view of people. It emphasizes tasks and activities that we should not be performing and ignores our primary skills and attributes -- activities that are done poorly, if at all, by machines. When we take the machine-centered point of view, we judge things on artificial, mechanical merits. The result is continuing estrangement between humans and machines, continuing and growing frustration with technology and with the pace ans stress of a technologically centered life.- Donald A.

| Model-Based Test Engine Benefit #1: Simplified automation creation and maintenance | | 2007-05-19 17:17:00 | | Model-Oriented DesignProcedural automated test scripts may be easy to record or script. However, they are difficult to maintain when applications change. They are also difficult to adapt to new test ideas. Maintenance is simplified by automating the procedure generation in addition to the execution. New actions, validations, and data can be added to existing tests. This allows testers to spend more time thinking up new test ideas instead of maintaining procedural scripts.Simplified GUI Interaction CodingMost GUI automation tools contain complex vocabularies for controlling objects and retrieving information from those objects. There are usually different methods for interacting with different classes of objects. This requires that toolsmiths learn a class-sensitive vocabulary and be aware of the class as they code tests. There is an easier way: create functions that automatically detect an object's class and apply the appropriate method. This allows for the same command to be | | By: Quality Frog | | |

| Heuristics in Test Automation | | 2007-05-04 15:26:00 | | "A Requirement is a quality or condition that matters to someone who matters."- Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Bret PettichordLessons Learned In Software Testing Automated tests are usually coded to perform validations against written requirements. Computers are deterministic in that they need specific instructions regarding what to test, what counts as a passed test, and what counts as a failed test. This is one of the weaknesses of test automation. Many requirements exist beyond the hard written requirements. Test automation can be a great tool for measuring hard requirements. For example, automation can be great for validating mathematical calculations.Test automation can also be a great tool for testing the fuzzy requirements through the use of heuristics. In addition to coding validations (oracles) for hard facts, automation can be used to report things that require human attention. Automation can report information to help direct the attention of human testers."Only weak bugs have lo | | By: Quality Frog | | |

| Why does test automation often fail to deliver? | | 2007-03-21 13:29:00 | | Software Is AutomationTesters are continually asked to test more in less time. Test automation is often considered to be a solution for testing more in less time. Software is automation. It makes sense to automate the testing of software. However, functional black box test automation rarely does more in less time. Why does automation seldom deliver faster, better, and cheaper testing?Common Test Automation PitfallsThe following problems are often encountered during test automation projects.1. Tests are difficult to maintain and manage.Many GUI test automation attempts to replace just a single step of the manual testing process: test execution. This can work well when there is value in repeatedly executing the same steps and the application is stable enough to run the same script multiple times. However, in the real word, applications change and doing the same thing over and over again is rarely beneficial.
