Why do people abandon testing projects? the most common answer is that the tests quickly became brittle and too costly to maintain

Test Case

Good test case

How can you make your ATC scalable for future? How can you make tests more scalable than they already are?

  • Avoid dependencies b/w tests
    • VAlids login, change password, then Login with new password
  • move LOGIC to LIBRARY KEYWORD
  • Creating NEW Tc should be easy using context Keywords
  • One TC should test only one thing
  • single level of abstraction principle
  • Use polling instead of waits
  • Remove incidental details from TC1
  • Workflow test-cases
    • Precondition
    • Action
    • Verification
    • Cleanup
  • Data-driven tests
    • One high-level keyword per test

Software Testers to look upto

New Direction

  • RPA - Robot process Automation2
    • Blueprism
    • RPA tools
    • Pick any task and ask this question, what would I have to do to automate it?
  • Usually requires FLOWCHARTS to decide workflow paths
  • Python Automation | RPA
    • context and scope of application
