There are four steps needed to create any automated test.
1Choose a suitable tool or framework for running the tests. This will depend on the type of tests you are automating. We discuss some options for system-level testing below.
2Precisely define your test case. This means writing down every single step and the required outcome. It is important not to make any assumptions and not to miss any steps that a manual tester might do without thinking about it. For instance, accepting a cookie banner popup.
3Convert your test case into a test that can run in your chosen framework. This can often involve writing a custom script. You need to check that your test actually works correctly and that it works in every case you need to test. For instance, if your app needs to run on different browsers, you need to make sure your test can work on every browser.
4Run the test and evaluate the outcome. This step can sometimes be hard. Often, test failures don’t show up immediately and it can take some detective work to find out what really went wrong. Also, many test failures are “false positives” triggered by some minor change in the application. In these cases you will need to update your test and run it again.
Automating tests is a painstaking task. And you need to be certain not to cut any corners. Effectively, treat test automation as if it were a form of software development! Define the scope, design the tests, implement them, and then test and debug as needed.
