This book describes how to build and implement an automated testing regime for software development. It presents a detailed account of the principles of automated testing, practical techniques for designing a good automated testing regime, and advice on choosing and applying off-the-shelf testing tools to specific needs. This sound and practical introduction to automated testing comes from two authors well known for their seminars, consultancy and training in the field.
Part 1 is how to do automation well, which contains advice and explanations about UI level automation which are still useful even now. Part 2 contains case studies at the time of publication.

Software test automation has moved beyond a luxury to become a necessity. Applications and systems have grown ever larger and more complex, and manual testing simply cannot keep up. As technology changes, and more organizations move into agile development, testing must adapt—and quickly. Test automation is essential, but poor automation is wasteful—how do you know where your efforts will take you?
The case studies in this book will give you insights into what makes good automation really work (or not). Applications include complex government systems, medical devices, business process development, mobile apps, cloud migration and others. With over 40 contributors, including high-profile experts, you will learn about both technical and management issues, failures and successes, brilliant ideas and disastrous decisions, and specific lessons and tips you can use.

This is a story – based on real patterns of behaviour – about a software test automator and her struggles to implement good automation in her company. The aim is to show you how you can use the test automation patterns wiki to help with various test automation problems, by showing how our heroine, Liz, copes with many of them.
This book started as a way to explain how the patterns in the wiki TestAutomationPatterns.org could be used in realistic situations, warts and all. Things are never as straight-forward as we hope, and this book shows a number of things that go wrong, as well as many things that go well.In this book you will encounter the Hamburger model of test automation abstraction, as well as the Dessert model of object selection. You will get to know Liz, her hobbies, her friends, her unrequited love… In short, yes, this is a story, but we hope it will help make the patterns “come alive”!
