Go gaga over Machine Learning

Automation is frequently a passionate debate, usually around how much and whether it is effective.  But  are test managers prepared for the effects of automation as it grows?  Instead of focusing on whether or not to automate or by how much, let's focus on what having automation on a test team means for the manager, assuming the team has already decided the correct balance of what needs automated and what doesn't (and in what priority). The infancy of automation: Initially, a team may say they have automation.  I've learned that when I drill down on this, they don't necessarily have test cases automated, but instead they only wrote tools to help with parts of the testing process, like installation/setup/deployment tools or tools for emulating inputs due to a dependency on an unreliable source.  There is a difference between writing tools and writing automation (although that can become a blurred line when describing a test harness or execution engine).

Framework: A hypothetical description of a complex entity or process- Word Web . Here, word hypothetical makes it clear that it’s based primarily on surmise rather than adequate evidence.There are no rules and standards on test framework development.It varies from organization to organization and from team to team.Project internal architecture provides a great source of information for organizing the components of our framework.Testing components needs to be well organized to accomplish the task effectively,efficiently and in a systematic order. We need to develop framework in a way that leads to accomplish the task without much human intervention.The heart of “Keyword driven test automation framework” is common functions that resides within the function library and the keyword acts as  it’s brain.Framework must be enough flexible to run with the desired keyword from the pool of available keywords. well,It’s been my passion to play with electronic chips since my childhood.I ca...

I had to research a lot to do this hope this helps others doing something similar . Scenario :  To schedule tests from Quality Center: Solutions : There can be different ways that we achieve this based on what our motive is while scheduling the tests. Solution 1: Schedule test sets directly from Quality Center 1.        Login to Quality Center 2.        Navigate to the Test Lab Module 3.        Choose the test set that you want to schedule and click on the Execution Flow Tab 4.        Right-click on the test that requires configuration of Time Scheduler and click Test Run Schedule 5.        In the Run Schedule window, select the Time Dependency tab. The time and date of execution can be configured from this tab as shown below: 6.        Once the above step is complete, you can see the time dependen...
