What is the entry and exit point of automation testing

Answer Posted / sandeep guttikonda

The word Automation can also called as computerization
means we are making the task simple.

But to go for automation we should have idea on Manual
tasks.

This tells that the entry point for atumation testing is
manual testing.

Actually we can go for automation testing only if the
system is stable i.e. some times after the applicatoini
when into production. ( Indicates the system is stable)

Here also there are many criteria's:

1) Suppose if we are following V-model then we can start
the coding (Descriptive Programming) at the time of
planning itself.

2) If we are following Agile Methodology, we can start the
coding for the small modules as reusable action and can use
these in the master action at the end of the testing in
Agile methodology.

while comming to exit point we cannot tell specifically.

1) As it may be the x% of the manual testing scripts.
2) Till the end of cycle 4
3) Till the end of release phase 3

Like this it may vary depending upon the situation.

The ideal case is automating the entire application and
running the scripts unattended.

Please let me know if you need further info.

Thanks.
