Two of the key issues in integrating automation into your test effort are harnessing ad-hoc test methods into automatable form, and taking the different formats of tester's test documentation into test cases that can be immediately automated. This 5 day course covers the skills that a tester needs to plan a test effort for automation and how to automate the cases.

More than theory, this is a hands-on, interactive class that allows you to put concepts to immediate use. Onsite classes can use your application and you will leave class with many test cases already automated.

Who should attend?
· Experienced Testers wanting to learn automated testing.
· Leads and Managers of QA/Test teams and departments.

Prerequisite: 1 year testing experience recommended. No automation experience necessary.

Course Duration: 5 days

What you get: Written test cases and automated scripts for your project, all class materials and new knowledge you can apply the minute you get back to work!

Testing Decisions and Writing Automatable Test Cases
You have some key decisions to make every time you approach a project for testing:
· Deciding what to test
· Deciding how to test it
· Prioritizing the testing
· Deciding what to automate

You'll learn tools that will help you approach these decisions with confidence and a framework for organizing your decisions. Once you've made the decisions above, you'll learn how to write detailed test cases that can be immediately automated and how to integrate your test cases with Silk Organizer.

Automating with Silk
Now, you'll take the test cases that you've written by hand and begin automating them with Silk. This technical section begins with an introduction to test automation and Silk for the novice. It then moves into coding test cases, building a test framework and failure recovery. The test framework is a key automation component designed to reuse your work and bullet proof your test cases from changes to the test application. We'll end with tips and tricks from the pros.
