Automated Process

In the automated testing based on actions in user interface of the tested application, one of the key challenges is maintenance of these tests. The maintenance overhead can be decreased by suitably structuring the test scripts, typically by employing reusable objects. To aid in the development, maintenance and refactoring of these test scripts, potentially reusable objects can be identified by a semi-automated process. In this paper, we propose a solution that identifies the potentially reusable objects in a set of automated test scripts and then provides developers with suggestions about these objects. During this process, we analyze the semantics of specific test steps using a system of abstract signatures. The solution can be used to identify the potentially reusable objects in both recorded automated test sets and tests programmed in an unstructured style. Moreover, compared to approaches that are based solely on searching for repetitive source code fragments, the proposed system identifies potentially reusable objects that are more relevant for test automation.

Automation Testing

In order to keep pace of product development and delivery, it is essential to implement an effective and reusable automation test framework. The traditional capture/replay framework is not only out of date but hard to use. Much more robust automation framework must be found otherwise automation test will only end up with failure forever. Success comes when clear concept of automation test is in managers’ mind and full preparation is made. The paper first make it clear what is test automation and how it should be used and then list some approaches and tools popular in automation test. Then, it describes details of a framework. A model is given after it. It has been proved that this flow is reliable and greatly improves test efficiency in a company.

Pengujian adalah tahap yang penting dan harus dilalui dalam proses pengembangan perangkat lunak. Pengujian tersebut dilakukan untuk menghindari kesalahan yang mungkin terdapat pada perangkat lunak yang diuji. Ada banyak kasus uji (test case) yang harus dieksekusi dalam proses pengujian. Karena itu, pengujian yang dilakukan secara manual membutuhkan upaya yang besar. Oleh sebab itu pengujian otomatis (automated testing) menjadi hal yang penting untuk dipertimbangkan menggantikan pengujian manual. Pengujian otomatis adalah penggunaan kakas pengujian (testing tools atau testing framework) dalam melakukan pengujian suatu perangkat lunak yang secara signifikan mengurangi waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk melakukan pengujian. Ada banyak kakas yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pengujian otomatis, antara lain Selendroid, Calabash, dan UI Automator. Tulisan ini membahas tentang studi perbandingan kakas pengujian otomatis pada aplikasi mobile berbasis android dengan menggunakan Selendroid, Calabash, dan UI Automator. Eksperimen dilakukan untuk mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing tools. Dari hasil analisis dan eksperimen, penulis merekomendasikan UI Automator sebagai kakas terbaik dalam hal kemudahan penginstalasian dan menjalankan kasus uji dalam sebuah kegiatan pengujian aplikasi mobile berbasis android. AbstractTesting is a must to do phase in software development process. It is perfomed to avoid any bugs that may exist in the software. There are many test cases to be executed in the testing process to make sure software is running according to its specification and without any bugs. Testing done manually takes a long time and extra work. Therefore, automated testing is important. Automated testing is the use of testing tools or testing framework in testing a software. Automated testing aims to test or significantly reduce the time required for testing. There are many tools that can be used to perform test automation of android mobile application, including Selendroid, Calabash, and UI Automator. This paper discusses about comparative studies of automated testing tools on android applications using Selendroid, Calabash, and UI Automator. Some experiments are conducted to know the strengths and weakness of each tool. Based on this study, we give recommendation to UI Automator as the handiest tool to use in term of installation and the execution of the test cases.

Data Survivability

Regular data backups are fundamental for protection against cyber-attacks and damage to infrastructure. To ensure a successful restoration, backed up data must be tested regularly for restorability to the company’s current environment. Cloud providers generally test their backedup data, but a testing framework is also required for locally stored files and databases. The paper proposes an automated test framework that validates the continued usability of backed up data for target restoration environments. The framework tests backups of Excel files, MySQL and Postgres databases, PDF documents and flat files.
