Test Automation Overview

Automated test scripts are a valuable way to perform
regression testing on applications to ensure that new
features or bug fixes don’t break existing functionality.

They typically supplement manual testing and
exploratory testing which is more efficient at the testing
of new features and capabilities.

For complete test coverage you need to perform the
same automated tests across a complete spectrum of
platforms, browsers, devices and environments.

Types of Automated Test

There are several types of automated test:

Unit Tests – these are coded against specific modules or
subroutines and verify that these modules correctly in isolation

Functional Tests – these are tests that simulate a user’s actions
and test that the various screens and functionalities work as
expected when a set of scenarios is executed

Performance Tests – Also known as load and/or stress tests,
these test that an application works correctly under the planned
load and determine the point at which it stops working

Vulnerability Tests – Also known as security tests, these test
that the application’s security cannot be compromised and a
hacker cannot access secure data or functionality

Web Service & API Testing



A web service is a unit of managed code that can be remotely
invoked using web protocols. This allows you to share your
application’s functionality with other programs.
The purpose of Web Service and API testing is to verify that all of
the APIs published by your application operate as expected. API
testing requires that you test using all the expected data formats
and input parameters.
Rapise provides native support for testing web services. API tests
can be integrated with user interface tests for complete coverage.
