Testing & ALM

You’re reading the fifth post in a series that’s intended to get you and your teams started on the path to success with your UI test automation projects: Look Before You Jump.

During our most recent webinar, “Silverlight UI Automation with Test Studio,” Jim Holmes shared practical tips on ways to connect to Silverlight applications, automate custom controls, handle data visualization and more. See the answers he provides to all the questions asked at webinar, and get a link to the webinar recording.

Chapter 4: Resources No, "people" are not "resources." Let's get that straight right now! We've walked through getting a plan in place for having your team build their automation skills. Now you've got to consider another aspect of the team's success: proper tools and infrastructure to help them get their work done. Your team will need a number of pieces to create, execute and maintain your UI automation suites effectively.

Chapter Three: People As with everything else in software development, success comes through getting good people and giving them the tools they need to succeed. Lining up the right people for your successful project means finding ones with the right skills, or giving them time and support to grow those skills.

Chapter One: Introduction The goal of this series is to help you understand the right questions to ask of you, your team and your organization. There won't be any Best Practices; there won't be any silver bullets. What we hope is to convey the right information to help you get started on the right foot and get through some of the most common problems teams hit when starting out with UI test automation.
