October 26th, 2007 — Automation Testing
I was getting too many questions on when and how to automate testing process. Instead of answering them individually I thought it would be better to have some discussion here. I will put my thoughts about when to automate, how to automate or should we automate our testing work? I know there some of our readers are smarter than me. So it would be always a good idea to start a meaningful discussion on such vast topic to get in-depth idea and thoughts from experts from different areas and their experience in automation testing.
Why Automation testing?
1) You have some new releases and bug fixes in working module. So how will you ensure that the new bug fixes have not introduced any new bug in previous working functionality? You need to test the previous functionality also. So will you test manually all the module functionality every time you have some bug fixes or new functionality addition? Well you might do it manually but then you are not doing testing effectively. Effective in terms of company cost, resources, Time etc. Here comes need of Automation.
- So automate your testing procedure when you have lot of regression work.

What is Regression Software Testing?
Regression means retesting the unchanged parts of the application. Test cases are re-executed in order to check whether previous functionality of application is working fine and new changes have not introduced any new bugs.
This is the method of verification. Verifying that the bugs are fixed and the newly added feature have not created in problem in previous working version of software.
