TESTING AUTOMATION

Test and Evaluation Approach

Requirements decomposition drives:

• Component Test Cases
• Integration Test Threads
• Functional Test Threads

Agile development process with continuous feedback from the test results. Test cases and test threads captured in a Test Management System.

• Provide traceability to requirements and development activities
• Capture details on test setup, procedures, and pass/fail criteria
• Can be linked to specific test events
• TMS example includes Redcase for Redmine

I&T Continuous Integration

Continuous integration (CI) tools used to automate builds and testing:

• Provide rapid feedback to developers based on latest changes
• Regression testing to maintain existing functionality
• Tracking of test results over time
• Reduces risk of technology insertion
• Verifies component functionality before integration

DAS experience with CI Tools:

Jenkins CI, Bamboo, Sikuli GUI automation, Selenium Web Driver

I&T Orchestration Tools

Orchestration Tools Capabilities

• Maintains proper test configuration and operation
• Enables consistent and well documented test environment
• Ensures test repeat-ability
• Properly collects all test artifacts

Test Configuration

• Chef, Puppet, Salt's tools available
• Automate system configuration and update
• Provides means for strong configuration via version control

Test Execution

• Sikuli and Selenium can be used to drive GUI and web applications
• EASE is capable of orchestrating component configuration, startup, shutdown, and artifact collection
• Particularly useful for Integration Events
