Why should I automate?

With  automated testing , as with many highly directional dugimi IT - disciplines, involves a lot of misconceptions. In order to avoid inefficient use of automation, should circumvent its weaknesses and maximize the benefits. Next, we will list and give a little description for the basic nuances of automation and will answer the main question of this paper - when automation is used takings . The advantages of automated testing: ·          Repeatability - all written tests will be performed always uniform, ie, excluding the "human factor". The tester did not miss the test for negligence and did not mess up the results. ·          Fast execution - automated scripts do not need to consult the instructions and documentation, it is highly time-saving performance. ·          Lower support costs - when the automatic scripts already written for their support and analysis of results is required, usually less time than to hold the same amount of manual testing . ·         

Key Issues in Software Testing

Software testing   - Activities performed to assess and improve software quality. This activity, in general, based on the detection of defects and problems in software systems. Testing of software systems consists of a dynamic verification of program behavior on a finite (limited) set of tests (set of test cases), selected as appropriate from the commonly performed operations applied field and provide verification of compliance with expected behavior of the system. In accordance with IEEE Std 829-1983 Testing - a process analysis aimed at identifying differences between the real and the desired properties (defect) and to evaluate the properties of the software. According to GOST R ISO IEC 12207-99 in the life cycle of software defined, among other supporting processes of verification, validation, joint review and audit. The verification process is the process of determining what software products operate in full compliance with the requirements or conditions that are impleme
