Implementing Automated Software Testing: How to Save Time and Lower Costs While Raising Quality

Appendices

Appendix AProcess Checklist

To help enforce the AST technical process and associated quality gates throughout AST implementations, we have developed a high-level quality checklist for each phase of AST. The AST phases were described in detail in Chapter 9 and consist of the following:

• AST Phase 1: Requirements Gathering—Analyze Automated Testing Needs, Develop High-Level Automated Test Strategies

• AST Phase 2: Test Case Design and Development

• AST Phase 3: Automated Software Testing Framework (ASTF) and Test Script Development

• AST Phase 4: Automated Test Execution and Results Reporting

• AST Phase 5: Program Review and Assessment

This quality/testing checklist can serve as a baseline of sample (not comprehensive) process steps ...
