Research And Application Of Software Test Automation

The software test plays an important role in the whole development process of software. It is the key to keep the quantity and improve the reliability of software. With the development of the software design, the increment of the software scale, the shorten of the software development life cycle, the augment of the workload of software test, it is the inevitable trend of the evolution of software test technology that using software test automation technique for improving the speeds and efficiencies of software test, shortening the software development life cycle, and reducing the cost of software test. Therefore, it is very valuable that developing an automated test tool which is effective, reusable, and maneuverable. This paper in the background of gcMultiRow5.0 goes deep into the technology of test automation. It analyzes the difference between manual test and automated test and the general process of software test. Then it analyzes the software test tools on the current market. Aiming at their disadvantage, it develops a fully automated testing tool. Considering realistic characteristics of component product basing on .Net, this tool tests different functions of gcMultiRow5.0 automatically based on test case, and it stores test result after automated test.
