Automation QA Tool

Why we want to automate QA ?
QA Automation would be to reduce the time and effort that is needed by the QA staff. It is very hard and boring when they have to perform the same test over and over again, and this may result in stopping the tests after some cycles. But this is not advisable and it is very important to test system for all the test cases after each bug fix. This is an impossible task without an automated testing system in place.
Even there are number of tools for automating the QA process each of them doesn’t fulfill our every requirement. Most of the tools only have some specific features. But we need a system it’ll able to do some important tasks which are expecting by the most software companies and they cannot be found in a single tool.


Objective of Automating Tool

Main Objective of the project is creating an automating testing tool for web applications. And this tool will be able to do the automating test with in our schedule. We can set the testing conditions for our each testing through this tool. Finally it will be generate the complete testing report including errors, critical points and changes from previous phase. This system will give alert to the responsible person via SMS or E-Mail, if there are any critical results.
Our system will be able analyse the log files of the live systems. All project test results go to one project log. The log begins when we define a new test project and ends when we close it. Tests, iterations and results are posted to the log as messages. Our system supports messages of different types: error, warning and informative messages, pictures, links to files, and more. We can nest messages in order to distinguish one part of a test from another.
Messages can be filtered by date, time, type, priority, and then automatically formatted into clear, to-the-point test reports that tell us exactly what we want to know about how our application is performing. The reports can be exported to XML and HTML or to an .MHT file for reading on any machine equipped with Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera.
We can also create a bug report from the logged results and automatically send it to the responsible person.
