What is Automated Testing?

[@nathanlee5440]

This is the most helpful video I've seen on testing strategy. Well done, sir.

[@humeidjocordasse4605]

Thank you very much for all, seriously it helped me to have an holistic vision about testing, greetings from Mozambique...

[@anonanon8974]

I really am in love with your articulation and timing. Like caramel to the ears.

[@victorruiz4533]

This is awesome. Thanks for posting this!

[@androidwae9919]

thanks for sharing this

[@Nandhis]

That's the great content.

[@logancratty7680]

I love this break down and the overall explanation!

[@fredianriko5648]

Hey, this might be sounds so noob question to you, but as beginner on web development i'm curious about what exactly script for quality automation look like? what programming language do they use? how is the practical workflow of automated testing look like? what are basic tech stack of automated testing? really, I heard a lot that automated testing required to write script, but what language? and what does it look?

[@TheStartupLab]

Great questions! These all sound great for a future video, but for a short answer, there a tons of options out there! You could write automation test cases in various languages (js, java, .net, etc). For something like javascript you might use nightwatch nightwatchjs.org/ or protractor www.protractortest.org/#/ for an angular project.

[@LizhiinGermany]

so great explanation! Thank u!

[@danescott3460]

Thank you so much. Great information. I finally started working as part of a regression team, and being that I'm a newbie in professional QA testing, it makes me have more questions. One question I have is does it makes sense as a manual tester to try to learn how to perform automated testing, or should I stay away from it?

[@TheStartupLab]

I think it makes total sense! Although you might be "just a manual tester" today, that can very well change in the future and you might find you have a strong interest in it. It's never a bad idea to experiment or reach outside your comfort zone in anything in this space, or life for that matter. The name of the game is growth! Do not stay stagnant.

[@AdilKhan-vf2es]

Thanks man... good explanation.

[@goodnamehostname4978]

What if someone don't like coding or don't know coding but interested in automated testing.....? What should such people do...?

[@luisfcocontreras]

Is there a continuation of this video? Like a series for testing?

[@TheStartupLab]

Great question! We are working on more videos including continuation in these concepts. Stay tuned!

[@luisfcocontreras]

@@TheStartupLab thanks, I am a test engineer and I would really like a course or follow up videos on this

[@godsend2546]

Good intro, though very little on what Automation testing actually is. Would like to see more of that content. Cheers 👍

[@eratera5836]

i'm an sdet ... automation testing can be tricky to define ... basically you have to design an entire framework, have knoweldge of html/dom ... have computer programming knowledge ... have knowledge of different test strategies ... knowledge of when and when not to do manual testing ... knowledge of Ci/CD ... knowledge of tools like team city ... knowledge of api ... knowledge of how to develop api tests ... knowledge of how to do performance tests ... knowledge of sql databases and how you could test databases while interacting with your application ... knowledge of mobile device automation testing ... the differences between different types of os's and how they relate to computer programming ... cross browser testing ... how to write good documentation ...

[@VeraxMusic]

@@eratera5836 Ok, you just listed a list of things in which knowledge is required. Can you now answer that guy's question - "what is automation testing." Why can no one explain this.

[@eratera5836]

@@VeraxMusic automation testing is like a very long silent f@rt ... no one knows who did it, but everyone in the room will smell it.

[@muhammadsabiil3482]

this video helpful for newbie, thank you! btw are you have recommendation to learn qa automation?

[@TheStartupLab]

Working on some new videos to help with this!

[@2010aishwary]

superb explanation, Thanks

[@user-rm1ez3ku3y]

Thank you, good video.

[@haslan4885]

great video, sir!! btw, any book you recommend on this topic?

[@TheStartupLab]

Hmmm great question. Not off the top of my head, but follow @thestartuplabtx on twitter and we will post some further reading on the subject!

[@kazox770]

Thanks! Is there a preffered language for automation ?

[@TheStartupLab]

Not at all! Lots of great automation frameworks for JavaScript if that is your jam. Lots of times developers own part of creating their automation scripts so its usually a matter of comfortability with a given language.

[@riniksarkar]

You missed the automated part !!! But good content, thanks.

[@still-dls]

Helpful, thanks

[@justshoppy2256]

Is Quality assurance role into manual testing or automation testing?

[@TheStartupLab]

Both! Typically QA engineers work with automated testing as well as manual. Automation helps cover fine granular task and manual testing serves as a human sign off and acceptance, usually checking for any regressions.

[@justshoppy2256]

@@TheStartupLab thanks for the reply

[@softwaretestingjourney]

Quality assurance is a broad role that encompasses both manual and automation testing. It is up to the individual Quality Assurance professional to decide which type of testing they prefer to focus on.

[@emelie8868]

What's the difference between unit test and component test? It seems like they are the same, in this video.

[@wadelkane]

For the QA what is going to be automation testing ?

[@softwaretestingjourney]

Automation testing is a process of automating the manual process of testing the software application to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual requirements. Automation testing uses special automation tools to write and execute test cases, no manual involvement is needed. Automation testing is used to increase the test coverage, improve accuracy, and enhance the efficiency of the testing process.

[@MsNitigya]

Who performs end to end tests? Is it QA or the developers?

[@godsend2546]

QA would be my preferred answer, as it should simulate how a user would use the entire application in real life. Hope this helps. 👍

[@user-lm3uc9eu8i]

I dont have degree on IT . I talked to a "personal teacher" and he told me that it is better to be QA/Tester because it is a bit easier for someone who has not degree on IT . He said that he suggest it to everyone who has not degree. He said that i will learn python, sql ect ect ect .... I said him that i am police officer at Europe Union country and i want to change my job , i want to go to U.K.. I asked him if there is a way to connect my previous job and the new one in IT , in my CV. He said that everything in IT can not connect in POLICE. Do you agree with this ? That nothing can connect and that the only easy way for someone who has not degree in IT is QA/tester . Could someone be at first QA/Tester and if he want it , he will change it to be software developer later ?

[@Alexey-f7d]

Yes you can. Tbh it will be a challenge to find your first job(or internship), but when you've done with it you can easily be a good programmer without degree

[@softwaretestingjourney]

Yes, it is possible for someone to transition from a QA/Tester role to a software developer role. Depending on the individual's experience and skillset, they may need to take additional courses or gain additional experience in order to make the transition.

2:38 Will someone tell me where the example foo bar is coming from in IT? I had a professor using this as a regular example in my last semester and I was sure it was only because she was foreign. "FUBAR" = "F*ucked up beyond all recognition".

[@TheStartupLab]

It's just a common generic name for variables in terms of examples. Similar to referencing a fake person as John Doe

[@Eclipse581]

Who would be responsable for creating script?

[@goodnamehostname4978]

Is coding necessary for automatic testing ?

[@TheStartupLab]

Typically yes, one would write custom scripts to automate a workflow/processes. However, there are a lot of GUI tools out there that can make this easier where it can record activity and generate these types of scripts for you. We will be diving deeper into these topics soon!

[@neerajrajput113]

Can I learn it or not how can I learn it

Hi Neeraj! We will be releasing more content around automated testing and the various tools you can use for these efforts. Stay tuned!
