Do I have to develop a test tool by myself?

 

A newbie recently asked me about some development tasks.. NetThe problem with the automated testing tool is said to have occurred.10The Director of software development for many years asked her new "Test beginner" who just graduated to use existing automated testing tools to develop a tool for testing their products.

 

Based on Windows API and . net to develop a . net the automated testing tool is not an" impossible task ", because our predecessors already have similar experience and practices, see graphic GUI testing automation developing an automatic GUI testing tool (the Chinese version is called graphic user interface test automation).

 

If you want to train the tester's coding level and deepen your understanding of the principles of automated testing tools. It is a good choice to develop an automated testing tool.

 

If you have a programming expert in the test team and want to develop a program that only applies to your projectProgramWhen testing tools are used and the testing tools and frameworks on the market are not suitable, it is "understandable" to try to develop an automated testing tool from scratch ".

 

However, if you want to develop a general automated testing tool that is a newbie and can use existing tools, it seems a little overdone to say that it is a "strong, I can only say "good luck"!

 

For the test team's self-developed testing tools, I have detailed descriptions in the book "Software Testing Technology Daquan" and some examples are listed, I prefer to encourage testers to develop auxiliary testing tools and small programs to solve some problems encountered during the testing, for example, scripts built on a daily basis, defect rate statistical programs, and monkey testing tools, instead of makingQtp,RobotSimilar test tools. Of course, if you want to "move towards Tiger Hill", I will also "Love cannot help! Try again ".
