Can anyone shed more light on this?
I know why it is needed and all that at a theoretical level itself. What I need to know more about is -
- How to write automated scripts?
- Which software to use, what are the configurations of the same?
- How does this figure out in XP or Agile development?
Help appreciated!
Here we go..
1. How to write automated scripts?
There are a number of ways to write automated scripts. There are commercial tools available which let you write automate the scripts, execute them, create a report and much more. The most popular tool available in the market is QTP ( Quick Test Professional). There are others too, like Selenium (Browser add in, Open Source), Rational Robot, etc.
These tools either have their own scripting language or support different scripting languages. All you need to do is script the sequence of actions to be performed on your application to test it. The tool then runs the script and produces a detailed information about the execution.
2. Which software to use, what are the configurations of the same?
There are many tools available. Selenium, jWebUnit, httpUnit, QTP, Rational Robot etc. However the trouble ( 😁 ) with commercial software is that they are damn costly.
3. How does this figure out in XP or Agile development?
I guess I'll wait for someone to answer this 😀
