Action Figures

The article shows how the Action Based Testing framework can be applied to model-based testing. In a model-based test one does not specify explicit test cases, but rather describes a model to generate the tests automatically. Although this is a complex matter, ABT can be used to make test automation more accessible to non-technical testers.

Designing a Reusable Automation Framework
This presentation discusses a case study of how to create an automation framework designed to be a product-independent automated testing solution. "Product-independent" means that the automation solution can be easily adapted to do various tasks and accommodate changes to the application under test (AUT) without having to redo the framework. Includes tips for preparing for an automation project and development mistakes to avoid. It tells the story of how one of the test automation teams at LogiGear went about the process of requirements analysis, research, designing, prototyping and implementation.
