Learn Test Automation &

start using HP Quick Test Professional (QTP)

Automation Need for automation, Rules of

automation

Exposure to the Automation Concepts and Kick start

the learning of one of the leading tool QTP

peed ! Automation cripts run "er# fast $hen compared

to human users

Relia%le ! Tests perform precisel# the same operations

each time the# are run, there %# eliminating human error&

Repeata%le! 'e can test ho$ the application reacts after

repeated execution of the same operation

Comprehensi"e ! 'e can %uild a suite of tests that co"ers

e"er# feature in our application

Reusa%le ! 'e can reuse tests on di(erent "ersions of an

application, e"en if the user interface changes&

Product feature understanding, test planning, test case

documentation, test %ed setup, defect tracking,
progression tests are all done in manual mode

Test automation success depends on ro%ustness of the

test cases not on the test tool&

E"er# manual step has commands in test scripts

)f it is not $orth, *+ N+T A,T+-ATE&

*o not %uild application logic in #our test scripts

Al$a#s ha"e a common kno$ %ase state for test cases

+ne test script Action must address one test case&

Testing Tools are usually very expensive. The test manager or the
test lea has to think t!ice "efore going in for automating his test
effort. There are also some !iely hel false notions or "eliefs a"out
automation tools.
