Description

Test Studio is Telerik's QA solution for automating your manual testing. With Test Studio's standalone edition or Visual Studio plugin, you can rule out the possibility of unreliable test execution and UI recognition, non indicative test results and reports, dispersed test repository, low code coverage, and unaffordable learning curves. With no code, this tool provides an intuitive IDE to effortlessly create maintainable tests. If you are looking for a solution to automate testing for your web, desktop, or mobile application, you can now benefit from Test Studio's rich automation features. "Learning Software Testing with Test Studio" will illustrate how to reliably automate test cases when it is time to relinquish manual testing habits. This book is all about less theory and more hands-on examples to present a complete manual and automated solution for your ASP .NET, WPF, Silverlight or iOS apps. This book gets you started directly with automation in Test Studio by exploiting its recording powers through series of concrete test cases built around the equipped applications. Each chapter starts with a typical automation problem which is then approached using Test Studio specialized automation features. You will learn how to create record and playback functional, performance, and load tests. Furthermore, we will see how to insert verification steps, logical constructs, convenient logging operations, and how to convert test scripts in order to implement keyword and data-driven architectures. To endow your tests with additional flexibility, each recorded automation feature will be approached from its coded perspective through the usage of the underlying ArtOfTest Test Studio automation library. This book also illustrates how Test Studio can automate pre-conditions, test result inputting, and the capturing of system states during manual test case execution in order to keep the tester's attention focused on the important details.

Who is this book for?

If you are a beginner or a professional QA who is seeking a fast, clear, and direct to the point start in automated software testing inside Test Studio, this book is for you. You should be familiar with the .NET framework, mainly Visual Studio, C#, and SQL, as the book's examples rely on them. Prior testing knowledge will also be helpful.

What you will learn

Create functional automated tests using the recorder
Add logic to the recorded tests
Insert proper verification, and wait and log steps
Customize tests in code
Produce Keyword tests
Generate data-driven tests by connecting tests to various data sources
Export, create and run manual tests

This is really helpful book. You know the books which describe you solution but nothing mention about the problem. This book is problem driven and explain the solutions in details and also something which I liked really much is that each chapter present a situation (from the real world) and after that explains the problem followed by the solution.I found really interesting the chapter related to Mobile Testing which cover the problems from deployment of application under test to generating test report. Some of the chapters illustrate how to use testing techniques like decision tables and state transition diagrams using Test Studio IDE which is very cool because to know the particular technique is valuable, but to know how to apply it is priceless. You definitely have to find a way to read this book because it demonstrate best practices in functional automation and manual testing as well as performance testing and it can become your favorite book which have answer for most of the questions you asked yourself every day.This book contains examples with Test Studio IDE as well as theoretical information which I found very useful and up to date.

Software testing is one of these things that most programmers acknowledge as a necessary evil. Few programmers, and perhaps especially the new ones, regard this as interesting or challenging. But if you have been programming for some time, you should be aware of how important it is to test. And to build testing in as an inherent part of the development process. To this ends, Test Studio offers a framework to minimise some of the manual steps. Chapter 1 explains how Test Studio is compatible with data driven architecture and functional test automation. But it can also enhance manual testing.However, the main thrust of the rest of the book is to go from manual testing to the automating of it. You can see how unit tests can be simply hooked up in Test Studio. The framework is like a debugger, but at a higher level. In similarity with a debugger, you can define what happens when a test breaks - does the framework continue or abort. How serious is a test failure? This is important, for it recognises that some unit tests could fail in benign ways. That a fail has a gradation of meanings.For manual testing, some people have written tests in Microsoft Excel workbooks. Test Studio can import these very easily. Or, if you define tests in Test Studio, there is the means to export to Excel format.There is also comprehensive reporting ability. And another type of testing. For performance. Where you want to measure certain quantities during a test run, or during a set of runs. The most common is simply the run time or the wall clock time. Care has also been taken to handle the important case of web server performance. Perhaps germane to your situation.

Learning Software Testing with Test Studio teaches you how to reliably automate test cases. It takes a less-theory and more hands-on approach, (which i liked)Furthermore, you learn logical constructs, and convenient logging operations, as well as converting test scripts in order to implement keyword and data-driven architectures.Overall the book keeps the focus on the important details. A reference worth keeping.

This book came in handy when our company decided to run with Test Studio as our automation tool. While Test Studio is pretty straight-forward and a very easy to use, there are some instances where their very detailed documentation and forums were not able to answer some of my questions. This book was able to answer three issues that I was not able to get satisfactory answers to. Since these issues were addressed as direct examples in this book, I'm assuming it must have been that the author came across the same questions.Well written with a good flow and each example builds upon the previous ones. This can be used as an easy reference once you have gone through it and put it up on your bookshelf.I gave it 4 out of 5 only because the book is not updated and the screenshots are from an earlier version of Test Studio. Test Studio is current on release 14 and the book looks like it is using version 12 or earlier.
