EBook Description: Most of today�s enterprise software is developed using some variant of agile process like RUP [8]. The main idea of these processes is to break-up the whole big project into many small manageable parts. Each part is released to the client, while the subsequent releases integrate with the older one. These kinds of processes have their own benefits for all the stakeholders. Once a project is complete and the whole product is fully deployed, the product goes into the maintenance phase. Software in general and enterprise applications in specific should not resist changing. Due to this reason these days software are built using pluggable components. Any component could be changed anytime as the needs arise. There could be numerous reasons for the change. We are not discussing the reasons to initiate these changes but one thing is obvious that in today�s volatile world change is inevitable in the software. In the above two scenarios, it is notable that software testing team has to do lot of regression testing. In scenario one, whenever a new iteration is complete and it is merged with the previous release, the inspection team has to thoroughly test the new functionality while running the regression test on the previous release, to make sure that integration is smooth. In a big enterprise application the amount of software, to be regression tested, increases. In scenario two, mostly the client changes are too small as compared to the size of the whole project. Again the result is that once the change is implemented, inspection team has a lot of testing work as far as regression testing is concerned. Although software organizations try to circumvent this situation by intelligently analyzing and segregating software parts which could potentially malfunction and hence are good candidate of regression testing. But this method has its potential risks. Iterative development and changes initiated by client are not the only situations when testing team has lot of work to do. Different organizations perform different testing cycles on their releases. Similarly after each bug fix, localized regression is performed. So the workload of inspection team is ever increasing [5]. In this paper, we are not discussing that how an organization could choose from its repertoire of choices. Our focus is to present guidelines for an organization, which has already decided to go for automated testing. Automated software testing is comparatively a newer approach of testing and lot of myths surrounds this technique. In section 2, we have discussed various testing alternatives. Automated testing is one of them. In section 3, we have discussed some benefits of automated testing. In section 4, a few challenges of automation have been discussed briefly. In rest of this paper, a prescription or guidelines for an organization which has already arrived at the decision to use automated testing, have been suggested in detail.

Agile Automation Testing

What is Agile Automation Testing? Automation of the test cases done
for the Agile project means applying the agile values and principles
for doing the automation of the test cases.
The biggest difference between agile methods and traditional method
of testing is the short feedback loop. The concept of agility is nothing
more, than "build the most important module of the system, evaluate,
adjust, and repeat". Effective automation requires thoughtful
investment and is a very important tool for shortening the feedback
loop.
In agile methods the majority of the automated tests consist of unit
tests that verify the smallest possible modules of software and can be
executed very quickly. Applying agile values and principles helps
teams get traction in starting their automation efforts.
It makes it possible to execute the test set many times a day or even
many times an hour and shortens the feedback loop even more.
The paper describes how to apply agile values, principles and
practices to develop an automation strategy. Where to start from, how
to start, what you shouldn�t automate, and where you should proceed
with caution this paper describes it all.

Automated testing for mainframeproducts


Aspire used WinRunner and Test
Director to verify and validate all
existing and new product features
of the customer's mainframe
integration product suite. The
automation scripts developed by
Aspire were much appreciated by
the customer � they were robust,
configurable and reusable. This
reduced testing cycle times and
improved product qualit

Automated Testing of Distributed Systems


We present a technique to test servers that interact with clients using the Sun RPC protocol. The
technique requires the user to provide two things: a list of RPC calls for the server being tested, and a
set of invariants that are required to hold over the RPC communications trace between a set of clients
and the server. The technique works by generating random sequences of RPC calls and checking that
the invariants holds over the traces. If an invariant is violated, the violating sequence of RPC calls is
reported to the user. We report the results of our testing a block server and a lock server

Challenges in Test Automation


This paper deals various challenges in test automation. In real time, test automation is bit more
challenge to achieve 100% road map of customer�s expectation. The customer stands on test
automation should be increase regression test coverage within a small time but the actual
returns of investment and implication difficulties makes customer disappointment in the
industry. The reason behind the scenario is lack of awareness about the tools, process and etc.
My experience says about what actually happening in the industry and how to mitigate such
kind of problems. Every one knows that Test Automation swallows considerable budgets and
efforts. This presentation takes you how to get good returns by adopting good practices in terms
of development of scripts, maintenance and execution. All the lessons that I have experienced
would be help full the world of test automation projects to avoid the issues and confusions. Here
I furnished the lessons learnt experiences under the following topics.
