Automated testing approach for corrad (web application framework).
Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Abstract
Every software development group tests their products, yet delivered
software is not 100% free defects. Test engineers strive to catch them before the
product is released but they always creep in and they often reappear, even with the
best manual testing processes. In most cases, testing has to be done repeatedly
throughout the development cycles to ensure quality. Manually repeating these tests
is costly and time consuming.
The most plausible solution to overcome this problem is by using automated
testing. Not only it increases the effectiveness, efficiency and coverage of the
software testing, automated tests can also be run over and over again at no additional
cost. Furthermore, automated testing is much faster than manual tests, which can
reduce the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours. Given the suggestion about automated testing above, this research is proposed
to apply the automated testing approach on a web application framework, and a
framework named CORRAD is chosen as the pilot study platform. The research
demonstrated the approach with an automated testing tool that is integrated as a
plugin for CORRAD. Evaluation of this approach shows that the automated testing
approach can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the testing process.
Therefore, this approach is expected to increase the quality of the products developed
using CORRAD, and reduce the time and cost needed for the testing process. In
addition, it is believed that the developed tool can be commercialized as an added
value for CORRAD.
