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

Appendix DCase Study: An Automated Software Testing Framework (ASTF) Example

In this appendix we will summarize a case study of how we successfully implemented an automated testing framework, using mostly open-source tools.

Using the guidance given in Appendix B, we first define our requirements; for the purpose of this case study they were as follows:

• Support applications¹ running on multiple distributed computers.

• Support applications developed in different languages.

• Support applications running on different types of OSs.

• Support applications that have GUI and those that do not (for example, message interface testing).

• Support applications that use different types of network protocols such as TCP/IP, DDS, CORBA, etc.

• Support ...
