The Research And Development Of Testing And Automated Testing Framework Based On Exchange

Along with the development of software developing technology and software engineering, software testing becomes professional and attracts more and more attention. Meanwhile, modern software enterprises supply a separate testing branch, where software test works together with software development. Software testing has become one part of the development of software. People realize the importance of automated software testing because the disadvantage of manual testing. Automated testing will be a new way of software testing.The appearance of test automation framework product indicates that the technology of software automated testing is going to be mature. The insufficiency of using capture/playback and script tools is being got over, thus, automate testing will become more economical and efficient, and be more advantageous to be implemented and maintained. Information filled with hopes is that more time can be used to increase the coverage and improve the quality of software product along with the decrease of the time expended on development and script maintenance. Thereby, investment on automation can be paid back faster.The paper explains the theory of automated testing and automated testing framework combined with actual application of test automation framework in detail. In the meanwhile, it discusses and describes several test automation frameworks and their realization.The thesis has four parts. The first chapter summarizes the development of software testing and automated testing. The second part includes the problems of automated testing, the principles of implementing it, and brings forward test automation framework. In the third chapter, I introduce the background of Exchange2007, the testing flow and the testing methods. At last, I give a CmdletValidation framework based on Xml. First introduce the advantage and use of the framework, then give the details of every part of the framework, finally clarify some main .cs files and methods in every class. The last part points to the orientation of automated testing.
