Automated Testing and Tools: With Live Testing Automation Projects using Python

What is Automated Testing?
Test automation, test-driven development, and activities that aim at stabilizing the development process and introducing fail-safes also belong in the domain of support testing.
Eventually, the automated test must be precise and detailed in order for the computer to be able to execute it. It is very common that when converting manual tests to automated ones, many questions arise even about nuances that seem minor. However, every question must be answered in order to be able to automate the test, and that answer is baked into the code of the test automation and will be used every time the test will run! In fact, these questions often reveal more important and interesting bugs than the bugs that are found when the automated tests run.


How to Use This Book

This book is for Students, Teachers, data scientists, coders and professionals, and Programmers in academia who wants to understand the understanding of automated testing and tools with live projects.

This guide presents how to write the best automated unit test cases for code in 18 easy steps. It will help the reader grab some important concepts. Reading this book won't teach you automated testing Principles with unit Testing using python. You can teach yourself Unit test automation by working through all the examples and live project here, and then using what you've learned on your own problems.

Classification of Automated Testing Tools
In general, most tools that don’t require programming skills are more feature rich, while tools that require programming skills are often more targeted at a specific and narrow goal but are allowed to be combined with other tools easily.
When you have only one, or a few people that develop the automation, the price of the tools that they use doesn’t play a significant role.

The automation is best used if you give the developers the ability to run the tests before checking-in their changes. If you want to get to that at some point, you’d want that all of the developers will use the automation tool! For that reason, you should seriously consider using cheap tools or at least tools whose licenses structure won’t restrict you when the time comes to use it wisely.
