Software test automation has moved beyond a luxury to become a necessity. Applications and systems have grown ever larger and more complex, and manual testing simply cannot keep up. As technology changes, and more organizations move into agile development, testing must adapt—and quickly. Test automation is essential, but poor automation is wasteful—how do you know where your efforts will take you? Authors Dorothy Graham and Mark Fewster wrote the field’s seminal text, Software Test Automation, which has guided many organizations toward success. Now, in Experiences of Test Automation, they reveal test automation at work in a wide spectrum of organizations and projects, from complex government systems to medical devices, SAP business process development to Android mobile apps and cloud migrations. This book addresses both management and technical issues, describing failures and successes, brilliant ideas and disastrous decisions and, above all, offers specific lessons you can use. Coverage includes <ul>
<li>Test automation in agile development</li> <li>How management support can make or break successful automation</li> <li>The importance of a good testware architecture and abstraction levels</li> <li>Measuring benefits and Return on Investment (ROI)</li> <li>Management issues, including skills, planning, scope, and expectations</li> <li>Model-Based Testing (MBT), monkey testing, and exploratory test automation</li> <li>The importance of standards, communication, documentation, and flexibility in enterprise-wide automation</li> <li>Automating support activities</li> <li>Which tests to automate, and what not to automate</li> <li>Hidden costs of automation: maintenance and failure analysis</li> <li>The right objectives for test automation: why “finding bugs” may not be a good objective</li> <li>Highlights, consisting of lessons learned, good points, and helpful tips</li> </ul> Experiences of Test Automation will be invaluable to everyone considering, implementing, using, or managing test automation. Testers, analysts, developers, automators and automation architects, test managers, project managers, QA professionals, and technical directors will all benefit from reading this book.

This is a story - based on real patterns of behaviour we have observed - about a software test automator and her struggles to implement good automation in her company.Our aim in this book is to show you how you can use the test automation patterns wiki to help with various test automation problems, by showing how our heroine, Liz, copes with many of them.This book started as a way to explain how the patterns in the wiki TestAutomationPatterns.org could be used in realistic situations, warts and all. Things are never as straight-forward as we hope, and this book shows a number of things that go wrong, as well as many things that go well.In this book you will encounter the Hamburger model of test automation abstraction, as well as the Dessert model of object selection. You will get to know Liz, her hobbies, her friends, her unrequited love… In short, yes, this is a story, but we hope it will help make the patterns “come alive”!
