Streamlining Your Testing Processes with Automated Testing

Streamlining Your Testing Processes with Automated Testing

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand the basics of automated testing and how to incorporate it into your testing processes.

This slide sets the learning objective for the lesson. Explain to the students what they will be able to do at the end of the lesson.

What do you already know about automated testing?

What is Automated Testing?

Automated testing is the process of using software tools to run pre-scripted tests on a software application before it is released into production.

This slide defines what automated testing is. Elaborate on this definition and provide examples.

Benefits of Automated Testing

Automated testing helps to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of software testing, reduces testing time, and can catch bugs before they become a problem.

This slide explains the benefits of using automated testing. Provide examples and explain how these benefits can be achieved.

Types of Automated Testing

There are several types of automated testing, including unit testing, integration testing, functional testing, and acceptance testing.

This slide introduces the different types of automated testing. Give a brief explanation of each type and provide examples.

Tools for Automated Testing

There are many tools available for automated testing, such as Selenium, Appium, and TestComplete.

This slide introduces some of the most popular tools used for automated testing. Provide a brief explanation of each tool and its features.

Creating Automated Tests

To create automated tests, you will need to write scripts that simulate user actions and input data into the application. These scripts can be created using programming languages such as Java, Python, or Ruby.

This slide explains how to create automated tests. Provide an example of a script and explain how it works.

Best Practices for Automated Testing

Some best practices for automated testing include writing clear and concise tests, maintaining a stable testing environment, and regularly reviewing and updating tests.

This slide provides some best practices for automated testing. Explain why these practices are important and how they can be implemented.

Challenges with Automated Testing

Some challenges with automated testing include the initial set up and configuration of testing tools, maintaining a reliable testing environment, and the need for ongoing maintenance of test scripts.

This slide discusses some of the challenges associated with automated testing. Give an example of how these challenges can impact the testing process.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
