How to Automate Software Testing

如何实现自动化的软件测试

 

Why isn't automated testing a reality? In an age of rapid development in increasingly complex environments, automation is the only real hope for achieving any acceptable level of test coverage. Yet, even with all of the tools and technology available, the overwhelming amount of testing is still done manually.、

 

为什么不实现自动化测试呢？在飞速发展的时代，在日益复杂的环境中，自动化是实现任何可接受的水平的测试覆盖率的唯一希望。然而，即使所有的工具和技术，海量的测试仍然是手工完成的。

 

The good news is when it does succeed, software test automation reaps huge rewards. But it's like anything--if you've never done it before, you must learn through trial and error. The problem is you don't have time to make mistakes. The stakes are too high, and you can't afford technology that won't save you time and money. Instead, get the benefit of the experiences of hundreds of companies who have implemented automated testing-- what worked, what didn't and why.

好消息是当它成功实施时，软件测试自动化将获得了丰厚的回报。但它是什么呢？——如果你以前从未做过，你必须在实践和错误中学习。问题是你没有犯错误的时候。赌注太高，你不会为浪费你时间和金钱的技术买单。相反，得到的是数百家已经实施的自动化测试的宝贵经验——什么起了作用，什么没有起作用以及为什么。
