Test Automation Fundamentals

ASoftware Quality Characteristics

Numerous standards and guidelines exist for software and software development, and their associated processes. Some of these approaches are domain-specific, while others attempt to provide interdisciplinary standardization for software engineering. The ISO 25010 standard describes quality characteristics that can be used to evaluate software [ISO 25010, Pfeifer & Schmitt 21]. Here too, automation can play various roles in different areas. In real-world situations, some quality characteristics require automation if they are to become measurable (and thus verifiable) at all. When defining the test scope, this list provides a helpful checklist for make conscious decisions for or against testing individual criteria ...
