Manual functional testers should weigh the benefits of test automation over functional testing and get started. Now with the development of the testing industry, automated testing has become a standard skill for every tester.
How to transition from functional testing to automated testing.
1. Find suitable automated test cases
Automated testing plays an extremely important role in repeated testing. A list of test types that are best suited for automation can be found in the table below.
| test type | how automation can help |
|---|---|
| Regression testing (including unit testing and end-to-end testing) | Reduce workload and help improve application trustworthiness |
| Acceptance Test | Should be automated with tools that support cross-browser/platform testing to improve performance consistency |
| API testing | Test automation helps detect bugs earlier by launching API regression tests every time an API is tweaked |
2. Find the right tool or framework
The tool selection process requires the tester to pay attention to the resources and test objectives at his disposal.
The list of questions below can help you make better choices.
Does it have the required features and supports integration with existing tools;
is it manual/automated QA and developer friendly;
does it provide technical support and training when needed;
is it easy to maintain scripts and reuse test assets;
does it fit within the budget;
3. Manage the tool development process
This step is crucial for those who develop test tools from open source frameworks/libraries.
The test automation development strategy should include:
the goals and vision the tool is committed to;
the business value of the automation tool;
the design, features and list of automation items of the framework/tool;
test script writing and execution;
4. Generate-execute-report-maintain
| test type | Open Source Frameworks/Libraries | business tool |
|---|---|---|
| the beginning of the test | Flexible programming language, requires a dedicated development team | Dual editor interface (low/full code) suitable for manual testers |
| test execution | Cross browser/device/platform testing support is a must - requires minimal maintenance | |
| testing report | Requires third-party software | Built-in report generator, intelligent analysis |
| test maintenance | require a lot of effort | Easy-to-manage use case library and use case combination |
5. The effectiveness of automation tools
In order to ensure that automation can be executed correctly and achieve the expected goals, some indicators are needed for evaluation.
Here's the suggestion:
Is the execution time short enough?
Is it okay to spend maintenance time when changes happen?
Are specific tests taking longer and longer to execute?
Can tool development time be reduced?
6. The current mainstream automated testing framework
Interface automation testing direction: Python+requests+pytest+yaml+alluer+Jenkins;
web automation testing direction: Python+selenium4+pytest+POM+allure+Jenkins;
app automation testing direction: Python+appium+POM+pytest+allure+Jenkins ;
7. What to master in automated testing
Web automated testing: comprehensively master element positioning skills, POM design patterns, keyword-driven, data-driven, selenium's WebUI automated testing skills;
App automation testing: fully master element positioning, small program automation, Python+Appium's APPUI automation testing skills;
Interface automation testing: fully master the HTTP protocol interface automation testing skills of the request library, websocket interface testing, Dubbo interface testing, master automation continuous skill capabilities, automated force script running, output reports, automated email sending, and continuous integration automation throughout the process;
Independently build interfaces, UI testing frameworks, integration of interfaces and UI frameworks, scene-associated applications, etc.
