Very nice post JB. Thanks
I am working on Automation regression testing for over 2 years now, Most of the releases have new changes compared to the previous ones, so we always land up modifying the scripts for every releases. what could be the best solution to avoid these frequent changes of scripts.

App changes every sprint and worst part it changes for all environment most time is spent on modifying scripts rather than testing…

I am working in Agile Automation Regression Testing nearly 1.4 years with applications build on Flex Technology.

We hardly try to design the scripts within 10 days when we run on the 11th day the script couldn’t find to be utilized (to execute) effeciently as the build get change drastically, where we leave out effort only in the modification of script. In the mean time the manual team who works on the particular feature does the testing and the scripts which is created goes in Dustbin

So tell me whether atleast this Sprint Automation Testing atleast very much effectively been used by the automation scripts we have in hands for the new build.

Honest input – Thanks.

Another area of concern is project management, but this is outside of the testing role.

Interesting read. I think a lot of the problems you raise with Agile methodology and automated testing will be solved by our new testing tool, Janova. At http://www.janova.us you will see a new automated testing tool available for free trial, that is founded on agile methodology. At Janova, we pride ourselves on Agile teachings and believe that Janova is the first truly Agile, automated testing tool.

You can make changes to requirements and development on the fly in Janova, and tests automatically update. The business requirements are now the tests themselves, so there are no external file keeping and manually updating of tests. When you change the business requirement, the test changes with it.

Janova just released and is only going to improve with time. We’d love input on how to help it work more in an agile-based environment.

Hi All,
I am working in a start up company where Testing is started 3months back.I have some queries
1.We are dealing with a number of short term projects,and resources are less in number.
So can we go with any of the open source automation tools to reduce our burden and quicken the testing process
2.What are the best open source tools which can be used for functional and performance testing of Website,Web Applications,Client Server Applications effectively.

Thanks
Madhuri

Hi, all

Can any one guide me a good Test Automation tool to be used for agil Testing. (Iteration based)
(Paid or free)
Actually our system involves lot of fuctionality testing of web application where full regression testing required in each iteration.
Also few requirement changes in each iteration of development.

Thanks
Darshit
