Abstract

Let’s face it: we’re in the 21st century. There’s no reason why any repetitive task won’t be fully automated, especially in a high-tech environment! But still, a large portion of the manual tester’s job is performing regression tests, which is very repetitive. And obviously, doing it manually is much slower and error prone compared to what the computer can potentially do.

Fußnoten
1
Regression tests are tests that verify that a functionality, which previously worked as expected, is still working as expected.
 
2
For that matter, “Code” refers to any artifact that is part of the system and can affect its behavior. For example, if the list of countries in a database is not something that a user can and should be able to alter, then you can consider it as part of the code of the application.
 
3
Check-in, also known as Commit, Push or Submit is the operation of applying the changes made by a developer on his local machine into a centralized source code repository that is shared by the entire development team. These repositories are managed by source-control systems such as Git, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, SVN, Mercurial, and more.

5
The term Test case may be somewhat overloaded. For me, a test case is one test scenario that is composed of specific steps (actions) and verifications. Usually test cases are organized in Test Suites. A Test Plan usually contain multiple test suites, in addition to other details regarding planning, resources, etc.
 
6
I use the term “script” here to describe a single automated test case, whether it is written in code, a scripting language, a record-and-playback tool, or any other form.
