Course Outline:

The test automation workshop is an interactive and solution based program that takes the participant from conceptualization to implementation. The two day program presents a detailed examination of commercial and open source solutions and how they can be applied to both traditional application and specialized testing initiatives.
Participants will learn how to properly evaluate, implement and gain sustainable utilization, whether they are doing this as their primary job or only on a part time basis. Individual who participate in this workshop based program will develop documents that will provide a quick start when returning to their businesses.

I. Introduction
Establishing a basis of understanding about the tool universe, the real-world pursuits that companies are engage with and the framework within which these endeavors are engaged. One should view this as the contextual foundation from which the program will be built upon.
o    Objectives and What to Expect
o    Historical Perspective
o    Automation Support Universe

II. Master Strategy

Even for simply enterprises a point of reference is need in order to add perspective to what we are doing and the value contribution that an investment is taking. Tools, in and of themselves are devices to enable efficient testing (and V&V) behavior. Without perspective and a fundamental framework for use automation will not reach optimal levels of effectiveness.
o    Recognizing Fundamental Mistakes for Tool Pursuits
o    Test Automation Strategic & Tactical Framework
o    Synchronizing Technologies with Processes
o    Scope Limitation & Baseline Requirements (eg. Commercial/Open-Source)
o    Broad yet Focused Behavior
o    Connection and Dependencies

III. Criteria

Planned and focus attention given to evaluation and implementation elements helps to facilitate successful test automation engagement. In this chapter participants will be oriented in automation requirement definition, laying the groundwork for broad based participant support and how to effectively work within the corporate procurement framework.
o    Determining Need
o    ROI Goal Setting
o    Stumping for Stakeholders
o    Building Environmental, Functional and Operational Requirements
o    Working with Contract, Procurement and Legal Functions
o    Presenting a Plan
o    Approval and Funding

IV. Evaluation

Scrutiny of companies, candidate solutions, and specific attributes is presented in a pragmatic organized fashion. The value of breaking past practices (demo & selection) are explored and a new paradigm put forth where blind definition unfolds to form solid highly effective solution selection.
o    Candidate Sources
o    Pre-Evaluation Criteria
o    Scoring
o    Illustration and Illumination (demo & test)
o    Courtship Period

V. Selection

“If it’s not in the contract then it doesn’t exist” is a phrase that has been a resounding theme behind failures arising out of expectations not becoming reality. Selection is more that a ‘liking’, it’s the embodiment of full and complete connection of the test enterprise to the technology and the culture from which it comes.
o    Prenuptial
o    Negotiation
o    Solidify/Formalize

VI. Implementation

Just when you thought the hard work was over now you face the reality of making the choice(s) institutional. Participants will be lead through the key factors to successful implementation and common pitfalls to be avoided.
