by Traditional Functional Testing :
- Traditionally, not in Agile testing, functional testing is implemented by a team of testers, independent of the developers.
- However Functional tests can be automated.
Agile Testing :
- In the Scrum framework, there is no assigned Role (e.g. QA) who conducts the Test Cases, Developers are responsible for writing and executing the Test Cases.
Automated Tests benefits :
- Running automated tests in automated builds guarantees that every build is tested for bugs.
- If any bug in the code arises, it is better to detect and fix it as soon as it appears.
- Using automated tests in automated builds makes it possible to discover bugs in the shortest period when it is easier to find the reason of the bug and fix it.
- This allows software developers to find and correct more errors before the application is released.
Automated Tests practice :
- The following tests can be automated :
- Unit Test,
- Integration Test,
- Component Test,
- System Test,
- Functional Acceptance Test,
- User Acceptance Test
- Non-functional Acceptance Test
- Capacity Test,
- Security Test,
- Performance Test,
- etc
- However, the following tests cannot be automated :
- Exploratory Test,
- Usability Test,
- Showcase Test.
