Microsoft Test Manager – FUEL for test automation

(this is a follow-up post to this one: http://sudiptopaul.blogspot.com/2011/12/using-aspnet-page-state-and-theme-to.html)

Traditionally Test Management and Test Automation tools have been remotely related to each other.

Microsoft’s Test Manager changes this -
  1. Manual Testers contribute effectively by creating action recordings for each test
  2. Common portions of test steps can now be grouped into what is called as Shared Steps – again manual tester can create independent action recordings for these
  3. Test Manager enables these action recordings to serve as active inputs to test automation – separate class is created for each test case, and a reusable function for each shared step
    • This is very elegant as it saves the test automation engineer an amount of time required to refactor common portions of longish test path recordings
    • The Manual Tester gets to contribute in the Keyword definition phase – an important thing to do, because they are the subject matter experts!
Here’s a video that demonstrates this:
