Continuous test automation
- 1. Test Automation Strategy ATDD, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Test Automation -Pradeep Macharla (www.seleniumframework.com)
- 2. North Pole
- 4. North Pole At a very high level, ATDD is an industry practice that promotes collaboration amongst teams to define an acceptance criteria and a definition of DONE
- 5. ATDD – Acceptance Test Driven Development North Pole
- 6. People Strategic: • In Sourcing vs. Out Sourcing • Budgets (Staffing and Training) • Organizational model and support from leadership team • Culture (Alignment between business and Engineering) • Centralization vs. Decentralization • Fungibility Tactical: • Adopters and enthusiasts • Training and Workshops • Self service model
- 7. Process Strategic: • ATDD (Automation to start with) • Internal Controls vs. Auditability vs. Regulatory Compliance etc. • Incentives vs. Disincentives (process compliance) • Customer focused Continuous Delivery Tactical: • Adopters and enthusiasts • Training and Workshops to help • Self service model
- 8. On a side note • Conduct workshops on Test Automation • Test Automation function in TCOE - Enterprise • ATDD/TDD/BDD and associated technical practices • Agile Manifesto • Open source contributions • Attend and present in conferences • Vendor support (staffing and skill augmentation) • Technical coaches support
- 9. Technology - Automation Frameworks • Languages vs. libraries vs. design patterns • Data Driven vs. Keyword Driven vs. page-object • Test Data • Service Virtualization • Infrastructure Needs • In the cloud….
- 10. Technology – Selenium • Selenium Web UI Automation – Leader in the market at this point • Cross Browser Test Automation • Parallel Testing • Scalable Solution • Maintainable scripts with good Automation framework patterns • Support for Java, Ruby, Python, JS and c #... (Works best and most matured in terms of open source community for Java/Ruby/Python/JS) • Java/Ruby/Python/JS world opens up a world of opportunities for other kinds of automation and integration with tools (CI Server for example)
- 11. Technology – Automation Framework patterns • Data Driven Framework (few pages and many sets of data, same set of actions for each data set) • Keyword Driven (Blocks of business functionality grouped into Keywords making it more modular) • Page-Object (A web app is a network of pages interconnected, define classes for each web page with html elements as properties and methods if needed that operates on elements) • Hybrid (Most of the time we end up mixing the above with page-object being the dominant pattern)
- 12. Technology – Frameworks available • Cucumber/Behave – BDD + Data Parsers + Web Services API + Database + thick clients • Test NG – Similar to Junit, but X10 times more powerful in terms of options available • Pluggable libraries with the above frameworks • Excellent Jenkins/Bamboo/Hudson et al. integration and aligning with Continuous Test Automation • Much much more….
- 13. Technology – Test Data • Ingestion Scripts (inserts if using SQL) • Be able to clearly define expected data in a data structure • Be able to reset data (at least the fields that matter to testing) • Continuously be able to execute the same script over and over again
- 14. Technology – Test Scripts • CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) • R – Mostly Smoke Testing/ Regression (CI pipeline for promoting build from DEV -> QA) • CUD – Destructive (Test Automation done extensively during QA phase) • Slice and Dice Tests – Excellent Support both from Java and Ruby • Exploratory testing (since Test Automation is WIP, however the goal is to be able to automate as much as we can)
- 15. Build – Measure - Learn • What to Measure ? Success Criteria (Ex. Defect prevention over test cases) • Lunch and Learns • Pair programming (Developers help to testers to start with) • Attending conferences and codeathon, hackathon etc. • Less Meetings and more consecutive blocks of time for Engineers
- 16. Dev - Ops
- 17. What Next ? • Groom Epics/Stories and put them in Backlog • Accountability vs. Responsibility • Horizontal impact (stories that impact multiple LOB’s) • Vertical impact (stories specific to LOB and drill down to projects) • Alignment with Dev Ops and Application Development teams. • Less Meetings and more consecutive blocks of time for Engineers
- 18. References • Strategic Decision Making • Test Automation Frameworks • Continuous Test Automation and Jenkins
