Automation With A Tool Demo
This document discusses test automation, including what it means, when it should be used, best practices, and examples of automation tools. Test automation involves writing software to reproduce the steps of a manual test process. It is useful for speeding up testing, improving coverage, and ensuring consistency. Tests that are repeated or will be run frequently are good candidates for automation. Common automation tools include NUnit, JUnit, Sahi, QTP, JMeter and Load Runner. Best practices include choosing the right tool, only automating repeated tests, identifying automatable cases, and using a data-driven approach.
