Importance
Web apps and mobile apps
Every software tester, QA manager, and quality professional is familiar with automated tests and the associated challenges. If they work for a large corporation or ISV, automated testing is most certainly a critical component of the development and Devop/QA process and a daily hands-on effort.
Ad hoc process
For early startups or very small companies, ad hoc testing may work in the short term but as your business grows so will the need for automation
Prioritize innovation
Products grow over time adding more complex and feature-rich functionality requiring your developers to stay focused on build new solutions and products making it difficult to maintain quality standards and stability
Branding & reputation
As you begin to established yourself in the market or continue to build your brand, the ability to deliver high-quality software is vital to avoid damaging your image
Resource demands
Your QA team, and its automated test process, must evolve to manage the expanding demands on their time, resources, and budgets
Strategic implementation
You will need a coordinated approach to test automation, including the expertise of where and when to automate, having the right team, and choosing the best test automation tools for your project
Object recognition
Before you go full-bore down the path of any tool, make sure it can recognize your objects. Without object recognition, you won’t be able to control your software and automate testing.
Script organization and structure
Make sure that the tool has easy methods to organize your scripts and structure them in a logical way that matches your software’s functionality.
Parameterization flexibility
In order to ensure code reusability and lower maintenance issues, test the abstraction levels that you can use that you can employ to make the code as maintainable as possible.
Data-driven capabilities
Along with parameterization, this is one of the most important criteria. In order to automate more complicated logic and increase script maintainability, you’ll want to put your test data in separate files from the scripts themselves. You’ll also want to take results data from one script execution and use it as input to other scripts.
Execution scheduling
Automation should not only mechanize manual testing but should also automate the execution. Make sure you can schedule individual scripts as well as suites of scripts easily based on your script organization and structure.
Expertise required
If you just want to record and play, that’s fine, but recognize that this may make your scripts difficult to maintain. You may choose to, and have to go this route though if your organization’s test scripting capabilities are limited. However, make sure that recorded scripts can be organized well and that the code can easily be parameterized and modularized.
Reporting and results from the analysis
Probably one of the most often overlooked criteria is how you’ll be able to analyze the results and ultimately use them to improve quality. If the test results are not easy to get, hard to understand, or take action on, then all of your efforts will not pay off.

How to start
While the benefits are clear, automated tests do have their costs and can often be expensive and difficult to implement given the expertise needed to master them. All automated testing program require some level of upfront investment in time, resources, and effort.
It can be tricky trying to get the ball rolling on software test automation and then keep that ball rolling. Oftentimes, companies start by choosing test automation tools without thinking about an automated testing strategy and how it fits into the organization AND their software development and QA Testing process. For example, is continuous testing a long-term goal? A successful automated QA testing program begins with a firm baseline of understanding automation testing. The two resources below can be a good start for those in the early stages of research:
Basic guidelines – Our automation guidelines white paper covers how to get started, how to select the right tools depending on YOUR criteria, how to integrate manual testing and test automation within your QA testing process, practical lessons, and step-by-step procedures for building a framework, coding tips, interfacing with unit testing, and rules to follow for easy maintenance of test scripts. It also points out typical areas prone to failure and how to avoid them.
Best practices – We don’t like to use the phrase Best Practices, so that’s why this paper is V2. Over time, our practices change according to changes in technologies, methods, and business requirements. Additionally, Best Practices for some are not best for others. In any case, we’ve listed some Great Practices so that you can pick and choose which ones are BEST for you, your quality assurance process, and your automated testing goals.
Process
Kick-start your program
We believe you can’t automate what you don’t understand, so our initial objective is to understand the client’s automation goals combined with an examination of their software to understand its workings and functionality. XBOSoft deliverable – Client Test Automation Objectives Briefing
Determine a set of automated software testing tools for your software. If you already have tools selected, we will evaluate it for efficiency or this step can be skipped. XBOSoft deliverable – Automation Tool Feasibility Briefing.
Determine a strategy to identify where the software can effectively benefit from test automation, followed by test architecture and design. XBOSoft deliverables – Test Automation Strategy Document; Automation Test Case Design and Parameterization Guidelines, and Automation Framework Design Guidelines.
Create executable automation scripts with written instructions. XBOSoft deliverables – Documentation on how to set up the test environment, deploy, and execute the script.
Create supplemental documentation to expand on ongoing capabilities. XBOSoft deliverables – Guidelines on enabling maintainability and extend-ability, and incorporating best practices in the analysis of test results.
