The testing elapsed time can be shortened, therefore leading to a huge saving in terms of time and money. Generally, the ROI begins to appear in the third iteration of automated testing.
High Scoring Test Cases
- Tests that need to be run for every build of the application (sanity check, regression)
- Tests that use multiple data values for the same actions (data driven tests)
- Complex and time consuming tests
- Tests requiring a great deal of precision
- Tests involving many simple, repetitive steps
- Testing needed on multiple combinations of OS, DBMS & Browsers
- Creation of Data & Test Beds
- Data grooming
Low Scoring Test Cases
-
- Usability testing – “How easy is the application to use?”
- One-time testing
- “ASAP” testing – “We need to test NOW!”
- Ad hoc/random testing – based on intuition and knowledge of application
- Device Interface testing
- Batch program testing
- Back-end testing
