Presentation Points

• What is Test Automation ?
• Automation Tools Available
• A look into TAME framework
• How can functional testers automate through TAME
  ?
• Demo
• Conclusion

Test Automation

• Use of special softwares to control the execution
  of tests.
• A buzz among the people interested in the testing
  arena.
• An increased curiosity to learn this efficient
  paradigm.

Challenges in Existing tools

Commercial Tools
Expensive
Limited platform coverage
Zero access to source code
Need tool interface (complex)
Free Tools
Less support
Limitation in automating Flash, Silverlight and custom objects
Some are free but not open source
Need IDE acquaintance

• Coding skills are required to create automation
  scripts
• Training a functional tester to create effective
  scripts takes time

We dont have such time luxury in an actual
project

Solution is TAME
Tool for writing test cases., it's a wiki and a
web server.

• A Test Automation framework for
• Web applications
• Desktop Applications
• Mobile Applications

Integrated Development Environment used for
writing and editing code
Automates web browser, primarily used for testing
purposes
Visual tool which perform user actions on the
basis of images
One of the class in AWT package , used for
simulating keyboard and mouse actions
TAME Leverages test case writing skills to
Create Automation Scripts

Limitations of TAME
No conditional statements No Loops Computer
should not be locked state.

Conclusion

• Work In Progress with following envisioned
  benefits -
• No prior knowledge of coding / programming
  required
• Less time to automate test cases
• Automation working model implementation even
  when the Product/Application is in the initial
  stage.
• Can also automate flash application.
• Simple and Easy interface/ report
  generation.
