The team members who are fulfilling the role of test automation engineer are often people with a software development or computer science background, but lack a strong expertise in testing fundamentals, the software under test, or the business domain. Action Based Testing allows both types of team members to contribute to the test automation effort by enabling each person to leverage their unique skills to create effective automated tests.
Testers define tests as a series of reusable high-level actions. It is then the task of the automation engineer to determine how to automate the necessary low-level actions and combine them to produce the required high-level actions, both of which can often be reused in many future tests. This approach allows testers to focus on creating good tests, while the automation engineers focus on the technical challenge of implementing actions.
Significant Reduction of Test Automation Maintenance Many organizations build a significant test automation suite using older automation methods and begin to see some benefits, only to get stuck with a huge maintenance effort when the application changes.
Test automation teams end up spending more time maintaining their existing tests than actually creating new tests. This high maintenance burden is due to the fact that automated tests are highly dependent on the UI of the application under test; when the UI changes, so must the test automation. Action Based Testing significantly reduces the maintenance burden by allowing users to define their tests at the business process level.
Rather than defining tests as a series of interactions with the UI, test designers can define tests as a series of business actions. Even if the underlying UI changes, these business processes will still remain the same, so the test designer does not need to update the test. It will be the job of the automation engineer to update the actions affected by the UI changes, and this update often needs to be made in only one place.
Improved Quality of Automated Tests In Action Based Testing, test designers follow a top-down approach which ensures that there is a clearly stated purpose for every test. The first step is to determine how the overall test automation effort will be broken down into individual test modules.
Different quality attributes being tested business processes, UI consistency, performance, etc. Once the test modules have been identified, the next step is to define test requirements for each module. Test requirements are critical because they force test developers to consider what is being tested in each module, and to explicitly document it.
Once the test requirements are defined, they serve as both a roadmap for developing the test cases in the module, and documentation for the purpose of the tests. Each test case is associated to one or more test requirements, and each test requirement should be addressed by one or more test cases. By explicitly stating the test requirements, it is possible to easily determine the purpose of a test, and to identify if a test does not sufficiently meet those test requirements.
Test requirements can be quickly checked to determine if the test needs maintenance or even retirement. Test developers can be precise and concise in their test creation, creating enough tests to meet their stated requirements without introducing unwanted redundancy.
After explicitly defining the test requirements, the Test designers can start implementing the test cases using either predefined actions or by defining new actions.
Test designers can define their tests as high-level business processes, which allow the tests to be more readable than tests defined using low-level interface interactions. A very typical approach is to acquire a test automation tool, and then try to start automating as many existing test cases as possible. More often than not, this approach is not effective. Action Based Testing provides a framework that integrates the entire testing organization in support of effective test automation.
Business analysts, testers of all kinds, automation engineers, test leads and QA managers all work within the framework to complete test planning, test design, test automation and test execution. With the right framework in place, the organization can respond most effectively to everything from marketing requirements to software development changes. Action Based Testing provides a proven framework for organizing tests and test automation libraries with a clear structure, preventing disruptions that can be caused by distance and time zone differences.
Conclusion As with other areas of software development, the true potential of software test automation is realized only within a framework that provides a scalable structure. Action Based Testing offers the latest in keyword-based testing from the original architect of the keyword concept.
The pattern of the blocks arrangement should take into account stacking sequence and designed to enhance stability of the individual block as well as the whole of the Kentledge setup. This geotechnical factor of safety should generally be in the order of 2. The bearing area of the steel mat is not enough. LTA do not allow permanent or support like bored pile because the test pile very near to the boundary line and future tunnel.
Only removable foundation system are allowed. Precast 15m x 17m concrete slab as footing to support the ton Kentledge. During Ultimate Test Pile stage, a few 4, ton Kentledge Load Test were conducted, using steel mat to support the 4, ton Kentledge. The footing settlement is less than mm. After the grouting work by others, the platform are badly disturbed. Additional pile either permanent working pile or combination of permanent working pile plus temporary bored piles must be used to support the Kentledge.
Set up the Kentledge based on drawing issued by office. Check by a senior staff or full-time test pile foreman. The position of the collar casing must be at the center of the pile. Place the test pile jack at the center of the pile. Set up settlement marker on the steel mat. Take settlement marker reading during stacking and testing time. SMS the settlement marker reading to Project Manager to check.
