What is automated testing? Beginner intro & automation demo

What is automated testing? How does test automation fit into application development? What are the usual types of automated testing and what are its powers and weaknesses? Follow me through this short beginner tutorial as I take you step by step through automated testing. Towards the end of the video you'll be challenged to learn your first automation tool. It can be used for testing, but works wonders as a productivity hack as well (it takes seconds to install and can handle any type of online repetitive work).

    LinkedIn recommended to me a payed guide into Test Automation. I checked the free bits and pieces to see what it's about. After 10 minutes they just threw at me 20 different terminologies, names of types, methods, divisions but said nothing about what it actually is and why. Completely backwards and discouraging. This free 15 minute video is so much more valuable and doesn't waste my time.

    Great video, thank you! Finding a good video on this topic was harder than I thought it would be, so your video saved me! Edit: the automated testing mini-project didn't work for me since I wasn't able to make it press enter even after attempting to debug it. But nevertheless, the point gets conveyed, so it's good.

    In my case following your example, the final test, "assert title" always runs before the page has rendered. If I tell it to play to that point and stop and then unpause the test it works. Is there something wrong with my configuration which causes the last step to execute before the page renders? This happens even on the slowest execution speed.

    Hello Sir. Have you encountered any use case where AI ( e.g. genetic algorithm) was used in the testing case by testing engineers ? I'm looking in how to use genetic algorithm to provide a larger exploratory scenario during testing.

    Hey George! Only through the use of AI-enabled automation tools. Nowadays, most test automation tools are aiming to be a part of the AI movement (e.g. applitools, TestCraft, functionize). But, for the time being, most of the AI-enabled functionality I've seen in such tools is around self-healing tests. So if the test can't find an element on a page because it has been changed, the tool attempts to map the old element to its changed version. A good tool will avoid false positives by notifying the Test Automation Engineer that the test was self-healed and allowing him to review the change. I wish you good luck with your idea! I think it has lots of potential.
