CQAA January 2012 Program: Automated Tests Into Automated Builds!

Automated Tests Into Automated Builds!
Eric Landes, AgileThought

About the Topic

So many automation options! But what automation do you need in your project? Where does that automation fit? For testing, Unit Tests, Automated Acceptance Tests and Automated GUI Tests are now fashionable. All have their place. You may want to use none or all of them in your testing strategy. That testing strategy changes for each project. Once you have decided on your automated testing strategy for a project, then you need to decide on which automated builds to use in the project. After deciding what you need to use of these different automations, which ways can automated builds and automated tests be combined? Eric shows you the most effective places to put these automated tests in your automated builds. And he shows where not using automated tests is a good idea. Discover how you can ensure your test and build strategy accomplish the correct purpose for the team and project.
