  2. Agenda • What is software test automation? • pros and cons • Return on investment (ROI) • Test automation tools • Demo for Selenium IDE

  4. Test Automation • To automate a manual process by using testing tool • The use of software to control the execution of tests • The comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes • The setting up of test preconditions, other test control , test reporting functions • Using the right tool for the project can reduce time and costs

  5. Pros. And Cons.

  8. Two General Approaches • Code-driven testing • Uses testing frameworks such as the xUnits (eg. Junit, PHPUnit) • Executes unit tests to verify that the program runs as expected • Key feature of Agile software development for Test-driven development • Graphical user interface testing • Allows users to interactively record and playback any number of times, comparing actual results to those expected • Pros - requires little or no software development on any GUI application • Cons - relabeling a button or moving it to another part of the window may require re-recording

  9. Tools

  10. Simple example in PHPUnit (1) Regular PHP code Simple Automated Testing Code

  11. Simple example in PHPUnit (2) Testing array operations with PHPUnit

  12. Selenium RC and PHPUnit Selenium RC is a test tool that allows you to write automated user-interface tests for web applications in any programming language Result if fails

  13. Selenium IDE

  14. Summary • Test automation • pros and cons • Return on investment (ROI) • Tools • PHPUnit • Selenium IDE
