Coded UI Test Automation Practices Deck
Had a great time in Munchen during the Microsoft Visual Studio ALM Days 2011, below the deck I used during my session.
the \final notes slide\ is a scrolling screen… her are the topics
- keep it simple
- DRY
- start automating from the beginning
- developer and test engineer in same room
- don’t automate everything
- know what already have been verified
- run them always
- fail fast fail often
- learn as a team
- tools will help you
- code rules for better testability
- test automation in the same sprint
- start from scratch or tune your manual tests
- make clear test method names
- separate the test intent from the test steps
- no related tests
- all test must leave the application in the same state before the test started
