We find ourselves at the end of another year, and thus it’s time for another special issue of the Automated Software Testing magazine. This issue provides a focus on two of the major events of 2011 for the test automation community: The 3rd Annual ATI Automation Honors and the VerifyATI 2011 conference. The content of this issue does more than parrot the results of these events, however, but instead interprets them and relays what these events say about the state of and trends in the test automation.

This year marks the third time the ATI Automation Honors have been conducted, and the first time they were held live, which proves its staying power and the interest the community has in the event. Therefore, we’ve provided the full results in print form to commemorate the accomplishments of the finalists and winners. In addition, having conducted this event for three years allowed for outcomes to be analyzed for the purpose of identification of continuously

developing trends, broken trends, and even the absence of trends. Such analysis often provides more useful information than the results of the awards themselves. Thus, the articles entitled “Shifting Trends: The ATI Honors Reveal Contemporary Tool Sentiment” and “These Tools Just Clique” shines an analytical light on the results of the awards and what it means to the finalist and the automation community at large. In

addition, pictures of the live awards ceremony are provided along with an interview with one of the finalists.

AST also shines a light on the conference that ATI conducted in conjunction with the Verify organization aptly called the VerifyATI 2011 conference. Learn more about what the conference offered, along with what sessions the participants liked the most.

TrendsShifting the ATI Honors reveal comtemporary tool sentiment

QUickTesT Professional (HP fUncTional TesTer)

QuickTest Professional (QTP) did pretty well in the 3rd Annual ATI Automation Honors Awards. It made its way into four of the seven Best Commercial Functional Automated Test

Tool categories: Web, Java, SAP and Overall. It was voted the winner in both the Web and Overall categories, while being named the runner up on the Java category. Unfortunately, for a tool as popular as QTP, the biggest story is probably not what it won, but rather what it did not win. SmartBear’s Test Complete bested QTP in the Java category, while Worksoft Certify took the honor in the SAP category. These results seem to tell a very interesting story. While the commercial market as a whole has been taking a hit from open source offerings, HP has in the past been considered the go-to option for those that sought a more robust solution than those offered by open source tools. The fact that HP lost in two major subcategories suggests that this trend is changing. While HP still has a firm handle on the automated test tool market when it comes to comprehensive solutions - evidenced by its multiple nominations and victory in the Overall category - the losses in the tool-specific subcategories suggest that the automation community is moving away from the sledge hammer approach of selecting a tool simply because it is good in multiple categories.

QTP

This year’s ATI Automation Honors Awards have come and named a new crop of winners. From the results, some important automated test tool trends can be inferred. This article identifies some of these trends

Shifting trends

soaPUi

SoapUI is no stranger to the ATI Automation Honors awards. The tool was a

finalist in the 1st Annual awards, 2nd Annual awards and now the 3rd Annual awards. Each of the first two years, the same thing happened to them... JMeter. Each year, SoapUI shared one or more categories with JMeter and each year, JMeter walked home with the victories. SoapUI was the proverbial bridesmaid that was never able to be the bride. Well, that has now come to an end as SoapUI earns its first Honors victory this year. With a victory in the Best Open Source Performance Test Tool Web Services/SOA subcateogy, SoapUI broke its second place streak, and finally bested JMeter; at least in one category. JMeter still won the honor in the Web subcategory and the Overall subcategory, so they still remain dominant, but the victory received by SoapUI is a definite message from the automated testing community that things are changing.

SoapUI is not only making moves in the open source categories, but also makes its first appearance in the commercial categories with its commercial counterpart SoapUI Pro. SoapUI Pro was named the runner up in Web Services/SOA subcategory of the Best Commercial Functional Automated Test Tool and the Best Commercial Performance Automated Test Tool categories this year. It appears that all of the community outreach that eviware began and is now continued by SmartBear is paying off.

SoapUI

WaTir

Watir has again made it into the ATI Automation Honors, but it seems to be coming in very quietly. It has consistently shared a category with Selenium, which is

a juggernaut in the Best Open Source Functional Automated Test Tool Web subcategory. Therefore, it is understandable that it hasn’t been able to take the honor in that category. Even though it hasn’t been a favorite to win, Watir was typically considered a viable alternative to Selenium. This trend seems to be changing, however. The vote tally for Watir has been steadily in decline, and Sahi has emerged as the alternative, based on its Runner-up status behind Selenium.

Watir

commercial Performance TesTing

The automated testing community is clear on what its favorite commercial automated test tool is. It has been LoadRunner for years. LoadRunner has dominated all commercial performance tool subcategories like no other tool in any other category, and this trend doesn’t seem as though it will change anytime soon. What the community seems a little unsure about, however, is what it would pick as its alternative to LoadRunner. Each year, the tools that come in second to LoadRunner are different. It has either been Micro Focus’

SilkPerformer, SmartBear’s AQTime or IBM’s Rational Performance Tester. This fluctuation

only serves the purpose of revealing that while LoadRunner is the clear current

favorite, there is plenty of room

for another tool to come along and be a game changer in the commercial performance tool market.

These Tools Just

Cl iqueThe ATI Honors

Awards, now in its third year, has become a

standard destination for those seeking to begin a tool search with a finite list of tools. This finite

list of tools has over time begun to take on a life of its own, with the members of this list coalescing into distinct groups, cliques even. These cliques are reminiscent of those

that form among school age students. Let's examine

these cliques.

Melomel

N e w K i d sEach year, the automation community

nominates a new crop of tools that make the finals, and this year is no different. Among this year’s new class are Hammerora, Melomel, Telerik Test Studio and ThoughtWorks Twist. Hammerora made it into the Best Open Source Performance Automated Test Tool’s Web and Overall subcategories. Making this list put it in good company with community favorites SoapUI and JMeter. It didn’t win in either subcategory, but it definitely made the most of the exposure by submitting a video for the live awards ceremony. The Best Open Source Functional Automated Test Tool category saw Melomel enter the fold as a finalist, while the Best Commercial Functional Automated

Test Tool category introduced Telerik Test Studio and ThoughtWorks Twist. Melomel in the Flash/Flex subcategory and Twist in the Java subcategory did not take the top prize in their respective categories. Telerik Test Studio faired a little better, however, by being named runner up in both of its subcategories: Web and .NET, behind QTP and Ranorex, respectively.

C o o l K i d sDo you remember the group of kids from

school that seemed to have everything working in their favor? These kids were smart, funny, popular, good at sports and anything else you could think of. They just had it all together. The tools in this group fit into this mold. JUnit, Selenium, JMeter and LoadRunner are nominated year after year, and like clockwork these tools are voted best in their respective categories. JUnit, Selenium and JMeter have proven to be staples in the Best Open Source Unit, Functional and Performance categories, respectively. LoadRunner has proven to be the most dominate tool of all, however, as it has consistently won every subcategory of the Best Commercial Performance Automated Test category.

RFT

RPT

Y e a r b o o k C o m m i t t e eThere is definitely something to be said

for dependability. Every school has a group of people that are not necessarily the most popular, but are well liked by many and are considered to be dependable. These people often serve in groups such as the Yearbook Committee. The ATI Honors has its ‘Yearbook Committee’ tools that are well liked and can depended on to be among the finalists. Sometimes these tools win, sometimes they don’t, but they will almost certainly be around. The open source category ‘Yearbook’ tools include NUnit, cfix, Watir and The Grinder. NUnit consistently makes the Unit Test Tool .NET s u b c a t e g o r y and Overall c a t e g o r y . While it is usually victorious in the .NET subcategory, NUnit fails to even come close to topping JUnit in the Overall category.

In the first annual awards, cfix finished as a runner up in the Best Open Source Unit Test Tool category, but hasn’t come close to victory since. It has proven staying power, however, as it continues to put out updated versions and continues to make it into the finals.

Watir and The Grinder have never won the top prize in the Functional Test Tool and

Performance Test Tool categories, respectively, but like cfix, they continue to release updated versions each year and get put into the finals by a faithful following.

The commercial contribution to the ‘Yearbook Committee’ includes Rational Functional Tester, Rational Performance Tester, AQTime and QuickTest Professional (QTP aka HP Functional Tester). QTP is obviously

the most successful tool in this group, but failed to make the 2nd annual awards due to not offering an eligible release. Upon

reentering the awards this year, QTP failed to sweep all Functional categories in which it was nominated

as many expected it to. QTP is a very popular tool with a

huge share in the test tool market,

h o w e v e r , and it has been very successful in the ATI H o n o r s . The other

tools have not been nearly as

successful, but continue to remain competitive. RFT often shares a category with QTP and has not yet been able to claim the top prize. It was even bested this year by new comer Test Studio in the Web subcategory. AQTime has had a similar fate in the Performance category, which has been totally dominated by LoadRunner.

T h e R i v a l sEach school has its epic rivalries. It

could be two kids fighting to be the head cheerleader or jockeying for the starting quarterback position. Rivalries also come in the form of kids battling for the student body counsel presidency.

In these rivalries, one side typically beats and/or has a higher degree of success than the other side, but what makes the rivalry compelling is the elevated level of competition and the fact that the losing side is constantly fighting for the respect they feel they deserve, and won’t stop until they get it. A n o t h e r compelling aspect of t h e s e rivalries is that the los ing side leaves you with t h e impression that their day in the sun is fast approaching.

The Automation Honors rivals include SoapUI, Certify and TestComplete. SoapUI is the rival of JMeter, one of the ‘Cool Kids’, and SoapUI has been the Runner-up to JMeter for years. Finally, this year, however, SoapUI put

a crack in JMeter’s dominance by winning the Best Open Source Performance Web Services/SOA subcategory over JMeter,. JMeter still won the Web subcategory and Overall subcategory to remain dominant, but SoapUI is definitely on the move.

In the commercial functional automated test tool realm, Certify and TestComplete have been teaming up against QTP for years. TestComplete took home a top prize last year, but that was during QTP’s absence due to ineligibility. This year with QTP back (with the new name: HP Functional Tester), it was expected to be a dominant force. Certify and TestComplete won victories over QTP, however, in the SAP and Java categories, respectively, to prove that they are tools to be reckoned with. QTP remained at

the top of the heap, however, with multiple

subcategory nominations and multiple wins, including a win in the Overall subcategory, but its rivals are working

to supplant it as the top functional tool.

The Verify/ATI 2011 conference was held from September 26 – 28 in Arlington, VA, and was a collaborative effort between an organization known as Verify and the Automated Testing Institute (ATI). The result was an event

that was hugely successful by all accounts (we may be a little biased, though). The Verify/ATI took elements from previous events held by Verify and combined them with ATI’s style, quality and focus on all things test automation to produce an event that rivals any other testing conference currently being conducted. This assertion is supported by the strength of the schedule, stature of the participants, and the overall structure of the event.The conference’s content was delivered in three distinct

parts: tutorials and core conference sessions and several keynote sessions. First, the conference offered full-day training sessions. Then, the core conference package offered a variety of track sessions organized into the following six tracks:

• Test Automation (TA)

• Testing Techniques (TT)

• Automated Tools & Implementation (AT)

• Agile, Environment & Methodologies (AG)

• Performance Testing & Security (PS)

• Virtualization & The Cloud (VC)

VerifyATIrevisitedVerifyATI

www.automatedtestinginstitute.comspecial edition 2011 33Automated software testing magazine

While two-thirds of the

tracks – TA, AT, PS, VC – were distinctly focused on test automation, all tracks

offered content that addressed contemporary practical test automation concepts and approaches in one form or another. The ‘Test Automation’ track, the first that is wholly dedicated to test automation, focuses on important concepts associated with the successful implementation of test automation. The second test automation centered track – ‘Automated Tools & Implementation’ – has a more technical bend as it focuses on specific tools and how those tools may be built and/or used. The third test automation specific track was the Performance Testing & Security track. This track obviously focused on load/performance testing and security concepts, which may often be applied through manual means, but are typically applied through the use of

tools . ‘Virtualization & The

Cloud’, much like the PS track, is also inherently related to tools in the fact that the cloud is an abstracted layer of hardware and software in which

to conduct computing activities.The ‘Testing Techniques’ and ‘Agile, Environments & Methodologies’ address more general testing activities and approaches for testing, but are not totally exempt from test automation topics.

With four tracks dedicated to test automation and tools, though, there was an abundance of content for test automation practitioners to choose from, content that was delivered by high-profile professionals including Linda Hayes, Dorothy Graham, Bob Galen, Ole Lensmar, Elfriede Dustin, Dion Johnson and Dan Bartow to name a few.In addition to the tutorials and concurrent sessions, there were plenty of other offerings that rounded out the event nicely. From the highly informative keynote sessions, forum discussions and the first ever live ATI Automation Honors awards ceremony, this conference was the complete package.

55 GettinG it RiGht the FiRst time: how to evaluate a test automation tool

Nick Olivo of SmartBear offered a presentation entitled “Getting it Right the First Time: How to Evaluate a Test Automation Tool”. In this presentation, Olivo provided a set of guidelines for performing a thorough evaluation of automated testing software. He offered key questions to ask when performing an automated test evaluation such as, “Is the test application obfuscated?”, “How does the tool handle errors?”, How big is the user community”, and “Does the tool have a scripting component?” He also offered a warning about the ideological extremes in test automation. There are those that think of automation as a silver bullet and then there are those that say automation is snake oil. Olivo suggested that these two attitudes can really hurt your automation efforts if you don’t address them early in your automation implementation.

PRoduction PeRFoRmance testinG FRom and FoR the cloud

Performance and cloud computing were already hot topics, but Dan Bartow came to our conference and made it even hotter. He framed the discussion in a pitch perfect way by first explaining the fact that

d i f f e r e n t organizations place different definitions on p e r f o r m a n c e testing, a point that he chalks

up to the fact there’s typically no clear owner in the enterprise for performance of a site. Responsibility, he explains, is shared between software development, marketing and IT. IT focuses on performance from a capacity perspective, marketing from a page response time perspective (using products such as Keynote and Gomez receive alerts if the site is down or pages are loading slowly), and software development (who usually focuses on testing before the go-live date). Bartow then goes on to explain the varying views that people have on cloud computing. He indicates that his mother-in-law thinks that cloud computing is a place for her to store her pictures; a view that originates from commercials on TV. Software engineers, Bartow says, think of cloud computing as infrastructure-as-a-service, software-as-a-service or platform-as-a-service. Then upon providing the three basic tenants of cloud computing - accessibility, affordability and availability - he delves into defining these terms, identifying key cloud tools and talks about how to implement a cloud-based infrastructure.

the Role oF testeRs and test automatoRs in test automation

There is a view that testers must be technical (i.e. have programming skills), especially if they are involved in test automation. Dorothy Graham takes umbrage with that assertion, because, while she believes technical skills are a positive for testers to have, they are not a prerequisite.Graham supports her stance in this presentation by describing the skills associated with testers in contrast to the skills associated with being an test automator. Those working directly with the automated test tool do need to be technical, according to Graham. They need to be able to effectively use test tools for designing testware as well as developing and debugging automated tests. Automators also aid testers in analyzing results, and providing utilities that aid in otherwise testing activities. Graham also discussed how these skills do not necessarily need to reside in someone who is also a manual tester. Testers not directly working with the automated tools will employ the skills of defining test objectives, designing the test, determining what tests should be automated, identifying what tests should be executed at which times, and then running the automated tests. In addition, they analyze the test results following a run. Graham further drives home the point by repeating a borrowed assertion that if you make a tester an automator, you may in fact lose a good tester and gain a poor programmer.

PRactical thReat modelinG - GettinG Qa to enGaGe eaRly in the develoPment PRocess

Internal security consultant, Edward Bonver, offers some live security guidance as he delivers his presentation on threat modeling, and reveals how QA can participate more in activities that go beyond

f u n c t i o n a l testing of binaries. Bonver defined threat modeling as the process of assessing and document ing

a system’s security risks, ranking those risks and coming up with risk mitigations.Bonver began with a house analogy that is fairly common place in the realm of security testing. He asked attendees to identify points of entry in a house that a burgler may use. After naming places such as doors, windows and chimney, the attendees were surprised as Bonver revealed images of a ventilation system, someone punching through the wall and breaking through the ceiling. He impressed upon the participants the importance of thinking beyond the obvious when performing threat modeling.Next, Bonver goes a little more in-depth by discussing the different components of the threat modeling process, which included: drawing a threat model diagram, analyzing the model, calculating risks using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and adding plan mitigations.

Sreedevi Sampath of the University of Maryland B a l t i m o r e County (UMBC) provides some of his university knowledge to the conference attendees in the area of pr ior i t izat ion . Sampath revealed test prioritization to be a regression testing technique where tests are ordered for execution in a manner best suited for quickly finding bugs in the application. He revealed the role that test case prioritization plays in software maintenance and regression testing, where a large number of tests accumulate over time from previous versions of the system, particularly as it relates to user-session-based testing of web applications, where field usage data is logged and converted into test cases. Sampath goes on to explain the test prioritization criteria which includes combinatorial-based criteria and count-based criteria. Then he spends the remainder of the presentation describing the make-up and use of the CPUT tool for effectively combinatorial-based prioritization for user-session based testing of web applications.

Interview with a Finalist Dan Levy speaks about Telerik

DanLevy

JeffPerlin

Speaks With

Perlin I’d like to start off by asking you about your background, and how you ultimately ended up working for Telerik as a Solutions Consulting for their testing division?

levy I’ve been in the software industry for about 15 years, holding a variety of positions from Technical Support Engineer to Director of Technical Services.

Prior to joining Telerik in June 2010, I wore many hats as the Director of Technical Services for a medium sized SaaS company. My responsibilities spread the gamut from Product Management to Testing and just about everything in between. During my tenure, we implemented many of the ASP.NET AJAX controls from Telerik and were very impressed with both the product and level of service we received from Telerik. When I decided to take my career to the next level, my resume went to just 3 companies that I personally sought out – and here I am today, 16 months

later, satisfied I made a wonderful decision.

Perlin What is it about software testing, and most particularly automated software testing that you find most challenging and rewarding?

levy The rewarding part is easy to answer – automation is fun for me. I enjoy being able to tap into my creative side to craft tests that will be reused for years to come. It’s also rewarding to be part of a team that is changing the landscape of test automation – the definition of rewarding (for me) is hearing customers make statements such as “How did I not know about this tool before?” and “Do you have any idea how much better my life just got?”

I think many of the challenges are in the planning of test cases – it’s critical to understand that this is a tool that can help automate good test cases and improve software quality. This tool can also automate bad test cases (bad input= bad output) – while this should be obvious, that’s not always the case. We recently brought on board a testing evangelist, Jim Holmes who is traveling the globe evangelizing testing best practices, it’s a real win for one

Frequent ATI contibutor Jeff Perlin speaks with Daniel Levy of Telerik about the company and its award winning TestStudio tool.

Interview with a Finalist Dan Levy speaks about Telerik

of the biggest challenges we face.

Perlin Several automated functional regression testing tools were pretty well-established and had a dedicated user base prior to the introduction of Test Studio (formerly WebUI Test Studio). Investing time and energy introducing a new automated testing tool seems pretty risky. What were the catalysts that made Telerik decide to enter an already well-entrenched tool market?

levy I can understand that at first glance, this could be viewed as risky, but it’s important to understand that Test Studio was created because there was a clear need for innovation in the testing industry. Prior to the release of Test Studio, quality professionals would have no choice but to settle with the existing tools available – these were tools that at the time could not test basic web 2.0 sites that were AJAX / JavaScript heavy and to date do not handle web technologies and RIA (rich internet applications) as elegantly as Test Studio.

Perlin When you analyzed the available tools on the market what were some of the shortcomings you had identified, and what was your strategy to overcome them?

levy As I just touched on, AJAX and JavaScript heavy web applications were being overlooked. We saw a window of opportunity to displace some of the legacy testing solutions. Another shortcoming in the testing market was the ability to craft powerful scripts without the need to write code. We set out to make an automation solution that was incredibly powerful, yet easy enough for manual testers to pick up and be immediately productive. This is an important concept since many corporations have adopted an agile approach to software

development. The transition to agile was / is particularly concerning to manual testers who see many of the existing tools available and wonder what a non-coders place is within their transitioning agile team.

Perlin What was your approach for mapping out a plan to design and introduce a new tool? Did you pulse the automated test engineering community to help form this strategy?

levy We analyzed what we did and didn’t like about the state of the automated testing industry and determined that the existing tools were expensive and too complicated. So we tackled both of these.

Perlin A Test Studio license comes with two different versions of the tool (the standard and developers edition). What made you decide to take this approach?

levy This approach is all about collaboration – By allowing testers to work in an environment that is most comfortable to them, and giving developers the option to remain within their IDE – everyone is more productive.

Page 40: Automated Software TestingMagazine_Special 2011.pdf

Let’s say you have an edge-case scenario that requires a small amount of scripting – your test team can craft the test case in the stand-alone edition of Test Studio, then pass the project via source control to a developer who never needs to leave Visual Studio to put the finishing touches on the test case. This approach will keep the test in a maintainable state for the test team. It’s a win-win situation that fosters collaboration between testers and developers, an important fundamental in agile development.

Perlin Currently the tool is designed to test web-based and WPF applications. Are there any plans to expand capabilities in the future which will enable Test Studio to interact well with other popular technologies?

levy Without getting into too much detail, I can confidently say ‘YES’. Our team is hard at work developing for new technologies with the same level of innovation that the testing marketing is so eager to have. We are very excited about what’s to come with Test Studio, I truly wish I could share the details – don’t worry though; the wait will not be long!

Perlin Test Studio is one on of the few tools that truly allow test engineers with no coding experience to design effective automated tests that do not have the common maintenance problems associated with other tools that have Record & Playback functionality available. Was this one of the main goals that Telerik had in mind when initially planning out the tool?

levy Yes indeed – We set out to make the tool that is easy to use for non-technical manual testers, yet provides the power and flexibility that seasoned automation engineers can appreciate. At the end of the day, productivity is boosted significantly thus ROI is realized faster.

Perlin Test Studio recently added performance testing capabilities to the latest version. Being that this is newly added functionality, what are some of the plans to expand upon these capabilities? For example, the current version provides useful information, but does not have the capability to simulate load. Will this be addressed?

levy Great question! Load testing is indeed coming. Before bringing load testing to the market, we first wanted to build a solid foundation that allows you to take a functional test and quickly gather detailed

performance data on. Now that this has been tackled, it’s time for load testing can be added into.

Perlin What are some of the other enhancements that Telerik has included in its roadmap for future Test Studio versions?

levy Again, I have to refrain to disclosing too much, but think big, think easy to use, and think end-to-end testing solution.

Perlin It’s just been announced that Test Studio has won 2nd place in a number of categories at this year’s Automated Software Testing Instituted Honors. Thoughts on this?

levy While we are honored to have received 2nd place, we are driven to succeed, we are innovating and we are getting the word out. Our users love what we are doing and I hope by this time next year, you will be asking us our thoughts on a first place clean sweep.

Perlin Any closing comments?

levy Jeff, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me today. I’d encourage anyone reading this to take a look at Test Studio – we have a free, fully supported 30-day trial – try it out and let us know what you think!
