Now every software development company test every product and software developed by them. Testing is not just done right before releasing the software. It is very important for those who use them in future as well. Instead, testing of software is done many times during the development phase. Every time a part of the code is changed or whenever there is a change in hardware configurations, testing has to be done; thereby, making testing a repeated and continuous process.
Automation testing can be both manual and automated. Manual testing (MT) is done by a person who goes through the various application screens of the software, inputting different sets of inputs, comparing and recording the observations. As the number of lines in the code increases, manual testing becomes tedious, confusing and time consuming.
Even with the best efforts of the person in-charge of manual testing, bugs or errors creep into the code making it difficult to proceed further. That is why now the demand of automation testing training institutes have increased a lot. For instance, consider the test to be run on the software of ATM. To test it manually in real-time environment, hundreds of users are required simultaneously; thus wasting resources and time hugely. In case, any glitch in the code may take days to identify manually. Hence, to ease such efforts 'Automation Testing' came into picture.
Automation testing (AT) is a process in which automated tools are used to test a software application which compares the actual results with expected results. An automated testing tool is repeats the set of predefined actions called 'Test Scripts' and 'Test Cases' on the software and comes out with success or failure based on the actual and predicted results.
These test scripts are written by Software Testers using certain tools and once they are created, the Automation test can be repeated and upgraded to implement testing tasks that are difficult to perform with MT. Though AT is expensive than MT, it is considered as an effective and efficient way of Testing. Over the last couple of years, the requirements of Selenium Training in Kolkata has increased a lot.
