Introduction to Test Automation Essentials (TT3511)

Introduction to Test Automation is a one-day, hands-on event designed to provide participants with the skills required to develop a custom test automation plan and architecture for their organization. Throughout the course, students will examine and work through various practical examples, learning how to create an integrated test automation plan and develop a test automation architecture. Participants will also learn about the possible real-world challenges they may face while trying to accomplish their goals, exploring the practical positive aspects of engaging their technical team, along with the possible frustrations of experiencing too much isolation between test automators and test designers.Guided by our expert facilitator, students will:Learn the approaches that ensure your current test tools—and new test tools you acquire or develop—will work well with existing testing and application lifecycle software.Explore approaches qualitatively and quantitatively measuring the value of automation.Develop an integrated test automation plan and architecture specifically for their organizationExplore proven steps for assessing their current test automation state and defining a future test automation roadmap and architectureGet access to templates and examples they can use to draft their own test automation planLeave with a draft plan and architecture that they can begin to implementWhile several test automation frameworks will be presented and discussed, this course focuses on helping students assess their current automation state, identify gaps, and develop an automation plan and integrated tool architecture.  Students will also explore and receive templates and resources to get them started on their journey toward developing a more comprehensive strategy, plan, and integrated tool architecture. The goal is for attendees to be able to draft a plan specific to their organization so they can get real work done in parallel with the real-time learning experience.
