Test Automation

Test Automation Strategies

Pyramid Approach

• Unit Tests (70%): Fast, isolated tests for individual functions and methods
• Integration Tests (20%): Tests that verify components work together
• End-to-End Tests (10%): Tests that simulate real user flows through the application

Risk-Based Testing

• Prioritize automation based on business risk and frequency of use
• Focus on critical paths and high-value features first
• Automate regression tests to prevent regressions

Test Data Management

• Fixtures: Pre-defined test data sets for consistent test runs
• Factories: Dynamic test data generation for flexibility
• Test Builders: Fluent APIs for creating complex test objects
• Data Seeding: Database seeding for integration and E2E tests
