Abstract

In an age of rapid development in increasingly complex environments, automation is the only real hope for achieving any acceptable level of test coverage. Yet, even with all of the tools and technology available, the overwhelming amount of testing is still being done manually. Test automation is a vital component of every test project. While testing seems to take a new dimension, the big question is how can an automated testing tool be used to improve the overall testing process. Test Automation develops and customizes automation test suite that are implemented across projects. With the rapid updates of software and constant update of applications and limited time to test a whole system, testing automation is the way that can move software development model towards completion coverage of testing in less time and less labour. We propose a list of features that we believe any automated testing tool should contain and we develop a simple, automated testing tool which can aid analysts testers and developers to design and develop their test cases, execute them with minimum human intervention and to generate reports to determine the results of the test cases.
