Can we automate test cases?
Good test cases for automation are ones that are run frequently and require large amounts of data to perform the same action. You can get the most benefit out of your automated testing efforts by automating: Repetitive tests that run for multiple builds. Tests that tend to cause human error.
What is batch testing in automation?
This chapter discusses all aspects of automating testing, also known as batch testing. The coverage includes automatically executing tests, distributing tests to different machines, and processing the results produced by the test runs.
What is batch execution in testing?
Batch Execution It is the process of executing all the test scripts or suites in sequential order. There is no need for any manual intervention to run each test suite.
When to choose which test cases to automate?
If a case requires an overnight devotion, you should automate it. Here’s a tip on when to avoid automation. If you have a test case that is not yet thoroughly explored, doing manual testing is always a better option. Otherwise, you might end up with a false result.
Is there a way to automate batch testing?
As mentioned in my previous blog on Mainframe Batch 101, there are plenty of opportunities to streamline, automate, and reduce risk associated with batch application changes. One of them is to automate testing of the batch application at various levels. Let’s explore.
Which is the best framework for batch testing?
Choose a client-side testing framework of your choice like MochaJS or Jest. Create or re-use static test data for each component test. Implement a test for every batch job that is part of the batch application. Zowe CLI can be used as the interface between the client-side test frameworks and z/OS.
What is the QA stage of Batch testing?
QA Stage — Component Testing This next level of testing involves testing each batch job that’s part of the batch application. These are the batch jobs that are individually scheduled into the batch scheduler to string together the logical batch application. Each batch job may have multiple job steps that call multiple programs.
