TEST AUTOMATION TRAINING COURSE
Day 1 and 2 Sessions
First Steps to Test Automation with Robert Walsh
Many organizations struggle to get started with test automation.
- How do we decide what and how to automate? What are some of the obstacles, challenges, and barriers that we might encounter?
- How do we overcome them? Which are the best tools and are they expensive?
- Will training be required?
- How can the costs and time be justified to management? These and other issues will be addressed in this in-depth course as you learn to make the business case for automated testing.
Through real-world examples, you'll learn which approaches to emphasize and which points resonate best with project stakeholders. With a sound automation strategy and business case as a foundation, on Day Two you'll learn how to automate your tests and manage test cases. Bring your laptop for hands on access to free tools such as AutoIt, WATIR and FitNesse, and begin automating tests in minutes. You'll also learn how testers and developers can work together to make automation more effective.
Day 3 (Morning Session)
Next Steps to Test Automation: Combining Tools Free and Easy with Robert Walsh
In this highly interactive, hands-on course module, you'll learn how to combine the tools introduced on Day Two to leverage the individual strengths of each product and derive greater overall benefit and superior test case management. The session will combine lecture and lab components, with participants working in small groups.
Day 3 (Afternoon Session)
Setup and Testing with Continuous Integration with Eric Pugh
In the final course module, you'll learn software testing as it applies to an automated continuous integration process using the open-source Hudson system as an example. This course module will give you the building blocks for an integral part of many successful agile deployments: an automated build system. Bring your laptop to gain the full benefit of this hands-on session, and leave with a working installation of Hudson.
