Test Automation is to automate the total testing process iff it is needed. For example ,there is no need of Automation, If we can use it then it will tekes 5 times extra time than Manual.

           So, First point is to find out where done testing using Automated and Where done testing as Manual.In this we can record the Testcases as Script (Like in WR) when the application is stable.

First of all, a tester should know, Which type of Format is using.

Eg: DD/MM/YY or  DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY or DD/Jan/yyyy Like so on many...........

For eg: 01-Jan-2007.

Date: Date may be like x/xx ------- it may be 01 or 1.

Month: 1)It may be like Jan --- it should be 3 words, Beginning should be Capital, remaining should be small.

           2)It may be like January ------ The beginning should be capital or not.

           3) It may be numbers.... like 01 0r 1

Year: It may be yy  or yyyy ----- for eg take 2007 .. we can give 07 or 2007. After 9999 th year what will happen, if we give 20071 What will happen. A tester should test all this Scanarios..... and many more comes to the picture.

Simply put, what is meant by "Automated Testing" is automating the manual testing process currently in use. This requires that a formalized "manual testing process" currently exists in your company or organization. Minimally, such a process includes:

  • Detailed test cases, including predictable "expected results", which have been developed from Business Functional Specifications and Design documentation
  • A standalone Test Environment, including a Test Database that is restorable to a known constant, such that the test cases are able to be repeated each time there are modifications made to the application
