Agile Automation and Unified Functional Testing is a one-stop resource that explains all concepts, features and benefits of agile automation and UFT with real-time examples and their solutions. This book starts with test automation basics and subsequentl

Test Automation using HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 11.5, is the first book released globally on HP UFT 11.5, which is the latest and enhanced version of the HP test automation tool, Quick Test Professional (QTP). This UFT book has been designed with the objectives of simplicity and ease of understanding. This book is recommended both for those who are beginning to learn test automation (using QTP) and for advanced automation users. Another major highlight of this book is that you will be learning on our custom developed web based application instead of windows based flight reservation application that comes by default with HP QTP/UFT. This application with enhanced test scenarios will bring you very close to real-time automation using HP QTP/UFT. With author's huge experience as corporate trainer on HP QTP/UFT, this book follows a unique training based approach instead of a regular text book approach.

This book is written by testers for testers. In ten chapters, the authors provide answers to key questions in agile projects. They deal with cultural change processes for agile testing, with questions regarding the approach and organization of software testing, with the use of methods, techniques and tools, especially test automation, and with the redefined role of the tester in agile projects. The first chapter describes the cultural change brought about by agile development. In the second chapter, which addresses agile process models such as Scrum and Kanban, the authors focus on the role of quality assurance in agile development projects. The third chapter deals with the agile test organization and the positioning of testing in an agile team. Chapter 4 discusses the question of whether an agile tester should be a generalist or a specialist. In Chapter 5, the authors turn to the methods and techniques of agile testing, emphasizing the differences from traditional, phase-oriented testing. In Chapter 6, they describe which documents testers still need to create in an agile project. Next, Chapter 7 explains the efficient use of test automation, which is particularly important in agile development, as it is the main instrument for project acceleration and is necessary to support state-of-the-art DevOps approaches and Continuous Integration. Chapter 8 then adds examples from test tool practice extending test automation to include test management functionality. Chapter 9 is dedicated to training and its importance, emphasizing the role of employee training in getting started with agile development. Finally, Chapter 10 summarizes the results of the agile journey in general with a special focus on testing. To make the aspects described even more tangible, the specific topics of this book are accompanied by the description of experiences from concrete software development projects of various organizations. The examples demonstrate that different approaches can lead to solutions that meet the specific challenges of agile projects.

The Agile Software Tester is the must have book for any forward thinking software tester who wants to move forward in the fast moving and existing world of agile software development. This publication will introduce you to this challenging and yet rewarding world and help you build a fulfilling and enjoyable career. From manual testing to automation, it is all here. While many organisations have adopted the agile framework fully with a carefully planned strategy and 100% company commitment which means they are now reaping the benefits gained there are still plenty of software companies out there who have, for one reason or another, not. These companies still ignore the agile framework methodology or they have simply placed a taskboard in the centre of the office and stated ‘there, we are agile’. While it is true that the agile methodology is not for everyone and not every software development project is suited to the framework it is, however, the way forward for the majority of companies who are involved in software development. As agile has grown in popularity and usage over the decades the amount of literature about the subject has also grown. However most of the books currently available on the market focus on the project management or software development areas of the software development life cycle, there is still very little for the agile software tester to read. In the agile world; testing and the software tester are just as important as any other process or person and that is why I have written this book. Hopefully experienced and new testers alike will find some useful pointers within these humble pages which will help them enhance their career and enjoyment of testing software. Version 7

Crispin and Gregory define agile testing and illustrate the tester's role with examples from real agile teams. They teach you how to use the agile testing quadrants to identify what testing is needed, who should do it, and what tools might help. The book chronicles an agile software development iteration from the viewpoint of a tester and explains the seven key success factors of agile testing.
