Abstract
Test automation tools are developed mainly for actual software testing requirement. Compared to manual testing, proper use of test automation tools will result in lower workload, higher testing efficiency in finite period, and higher quality products.
The test automation tool that we developed is a GUI test automation tool. It is made up of record module, script module, object interaction module and log module. This sequence is consistent with the process of running the program. Any more, object interaction module is an interior module, which links up script module and log module. So it shows no interface.
According to the analyzing, we decide to use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET developing tool of Microsoft Corporation. We can make use of kinds of Object Oriented developing tools which is offered by .NET. Especially interface window, which can operate object conveniently and compactly. First, we will use UML to build the system’s architecture model of the test automation tool. And then we developed the tool with VC++.NET basing on the model, modifying and improving it continually to keep pace with users’ requirement.
