Overview[edit]

Automated testing is a key technology being incorporated into the workings of JBS. At the present, this is a somewhat specialized skill, and a team of people who are familiar with this will help write automated tests and train other JBS members on automated testing. Our aim is to eventually make automated testing a routine part of fixing issues.

To follow the analogy from the Bug_Squad_Coding_Team doc, if the Bug Squad was run like a hospital, then the Automated Testing Team is like your doctor whom you see for your a regular checkup just to make sure everything is fine. If something is found not be quite right, we'll send you to see a specialist to get checked out and treated.

General Procedure & Goals[edit]

As of this writing, the system test suite in run a daily basis in conjunction with the nightly build. The individual tests and test suite can also be run manually on an end-users workstation. When they are run, failures and errors will be displayed at the end of the test suite. These failures and errors will indicate where changes or regressions may have occurred. The person running the test(s) can then investigate whether the issue stemmed from

Automated Testing is comprised of two types of tests, System and Unit Tests. System test simulate and test what a user may experience where as Unit tests check individual blocks of source code.

For a good comparison of the two, see System Testing versus Unit Testing
