Agile Automation and Unified Functional Testing is a one-stop resource that explains all concepts, features and benefits of agile automation and UFT with real-time examples and their solutions. This book starts with test automation basics and subsequently moves to its advanced concepts such as test automation life cycle, test automation approach, and framework design. It has been designed to be a beginner's guide for new users, a companion guide for experienced users, and a reference guide for professionals preparing for interviews or certification examinations on test automation and UFT.

Offers advice on designing and implementing a software test automation infrastructure, and identifies what current popular testing approaches can and cannot accomplish. Rejecting the automation life cycle model, the authors favor limited automation of unit, integration, and system testing. They also present a control synchronized data-driven framework to help jump-start an automation project. Examples are provided in the Rational suite test studio, and source code is available at a supporting web site. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Learn to write automation test scripts using Selenium Web driver version 3.x and 2.x in java programming, java script, C#, python and run in Cucumber BDD feature files. Conduct experiment to write protractor-based Cucumber BDD framework in java script. Build TDD frameworks with the help of Testing, Visual Studio, Jenkins, Excel VBA, Selenium, HP UFT (formerly QTP), Ranorex, RFT and other wide-ranged QA testing tools. Design first Appium scripts after setting up the framework for mobile test automation. Build concurrent compatibility tests using Selenium Grid! Repeated interview questions are explained with justifications for Cucumber BDD, Selenium IDE, Selenium web driver and Selenium Grid.

In this work, over 40 pioneering implementers share their experiences and best practices in 28 case studies. Drawing on their insights, you can avoid the pitfalls associated with test automation, and achieve powerful results on every metric you care about: quality, cost, time to market, usability, and value.

The volume constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Agile Software Development, XP 2017, held in Cologne, Germany, in May 2017. The 14 full and 6 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: improving agile processes; agile in organization; and safety critical software. In addition, the volume contains 3 doctoral symposium papers (from 4 papers submitted).

Understand test automation and implement it in Web, Mobile, and APIs effectively Key FeaturesLearn how to automate your tests with the help of practical examplesUnderstand how to bridge the gap between testing and test automationExplore test automation strategies for different platformsBook Description This book helps you build a better understanding of test automation and aids in bridging the gap between testing and test automation. The book has been divided into three sections with the first section focusing on preparing you for testing and test automation fundamentals. By the end of this section, you'll have an understanding of some common automation terms, definitions, and roles. The second section covers the practical implementation of test automation for mobile, web, API and performance. The third section will help you understand how test automation works with CI/CD, and explore the common issues and pitfalls when executing test automation. By the end of this book, you'll have a better understanding of automation, addressing the common pain points and best practices around test automation. What you will learnGain a solid understanding of test automationUnderstand how automation fits into a test strategyExplore essential design patterns for test automationDesign and implement highly reliable automated testsUnderstand issues and pitfalls when executing test automationDiscover the commonly used test automation tools/frameworksWho this book is for This book is for manual testers who want to enter the field of test automation and developers who want to learn more about test automation.

Want to learn HP's new UFT API functionality as fast as possible? With the release of UFT API testing, I felt most people who were new to the product would be looking for a resource to help get them up to speed quickly. Also, I believe that with the industry-wide adoption of Agile's development process, the need for test automation engineers to understand and be able to create API level test has become critical. This book is what I wished I had when I first began using UFT API testing. I'm adopting a "hands-on" approach, and have tried to include practical examples and pithy explanations for all the concepts presented. This is not meant to be an exhaustive look at every aspect of UFT API but rather to serve as a quick-start workbook. Hopefully, this book will save you some time (and headaches) by painlessly getting you up to speed on UFT API testing. I've been using HP Service Test since its initial 11.0 release. There was little documentation and next to zero information on the web to help me get started. I decided to change that by regularly sharing information, including tips and tricks for service test and other automation tools, on my blog, http://www.joecolantonio.com.

Test Automation using HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 11.5, is the first book released globally on HP UFT 11.5, which is the latest and enhanced version of the HP test automation tool, Quick Test Professional (QTP). This UFT book has been designed with the objectives of simplicity and ease of understanding. This book is recommended both for those who are beginning to learn test automation (using QTP) and for advanced automation users. Another major highlight of this book is that you will be learning on our custom developed web based application instead of windows based flight reservation application that comes by default with HP QTP/UFT. This application with enhanced test scenarios will bring you very close to real-time automation using HP QTP/UFT. With author's huge experience as corporate trainer on HP QTP/UFT, this book follows a unique training based approach instead of a regular text book approach.

Practical Model-Based Testing gives a practical introduction to model-based testing, showing how to write models for testing purposes and how to use model-based testing tools to generate test suites. It is aimed at testers and software developers who wish to use model-based testing, rather than at tool-developers or academics. The book focuses on the mainstream practice of functional black-box testing and covers different styles of models, especially transition-based models (UML state machines) and pre/post models (UML/OCL specifications and B notation). The steps of applying model-based testing are demonstrated on examples and case studies from a variety of software domains, including embedded software and information systems. From this book you will learn: - The basic principles and terminology of model-based testing - How model-based testing differs from other testing processes - How model-based testing fits into typical software lifecycles such as agile methods and the Unified Process - The benefits and limitations of model-based testing, its cost effectiveness and how it can reduce time-to-market - A step-by-step process for applying model-based testing - How to write good models for model-based testing - How to use a variety of test selection criteria to control the tests that are generated from your models - How model-based testing can connect to existing automated test execution platforms such as Mercury Test Director, Java JUnit, and proprietary test execution environments - Presents the basic principles and terminology of model-based testing - Shows how model-based testing fits into the software lifecycle, its cost-effectiveness, and how it can reduce time to market - Offers guidance on how to use different kinds of modeling techniques, useful test generation strategies, how to apply model-based testing techniques to real applications using case studies
