Chapter 1, Introduction to Test Automation

  1. Testing is a process to evaluate the software application with the intent to find bugs and validate product specifications.
  2. Some of the key deliverables while doing software testing are the test plan, test strategy, test cases, test data, and automated test scripts.
  3. Test automation is the process of setting up and validating functional and non-functional specifications using a test script. This helps increase the efficiency of testing and helps deliver value to the customer quickly.
  4. Changing requirements, a lack of team collaboration, not enough planning, and a shortage of skilled resources are some of the most common challenges in the testing and test automation world.
  5. A quality analyst (manual QA), test automation engineer (skilled at manual and automated testing), and an SDET are common roles in the quality engineering space.
