3 What Is Exploratory Test Automation?
TASSQ/KWSQA 2009 What Is Exploratory Test Automation? Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010 Why Tests Don't Pass

4 Considerations for Automation
Theory of error Input data Sequential dependence Output data Comparison Detection Evaluation Troubleshooting Notification Retention Maintenance Relevant contexts Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

5 Disk Buffer Size Write random sized records Read random sized records
Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

6 Database Record Locking
Create random set of records Launch several threads to Select a random record Open record exclusive for random time, or Open record shared for random time Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

7 Exhaustive Testing Maspar sqrt Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner

8 Reset Database Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

9 Simulator Generation Of Results
Telenova example Maspar compiler example Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

10 SVD Generation SVD: the means to verify data is embedded into the data itself Database records example Data communication packets example Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

11 Database Links Modified database engine to verify forward and backward links Chose a schema Generated a number of records Generated random inserts, modifies, and deletes Used random values for field entries Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010

12 Summary Not all automated tests have to do the same thing each time
TASSQ/KWSQA 2009 Summary Not all automated tests have to do the same thing each time Many different ways to explore using automation Looking faster and more deeply Working in areas not humanly accessible Douglas Hoffman Cem Kaner Copyright © 2010 Why Tests Don't Pass
