Improve the efficiency of your quality assurance efforts through the use of our automation techniques. We have extensive background testing the world's most cutting-edge and complex solutions. Comspec has the track record and 30 year IT background that Fortune 50 companies have come to trust. Typically automation is done in the following ways: | Creation | Maintenance | Re-use | | | 0% | - Record
- Add custom code
- Reference shared spreadsheet
| - Re-record portions
- Tweak custom code
- Extend object repository
| 20% | - Define structured actions and components
- Leverage a shared object model
| - Updates are made at a component level and leveraged across automation scripts
| Up to 70% |
Structured approach
Each component of your application will be broken down and automation scripts will be created. For user interface testing we would employ HP Quick Test Pro (formerly Mercury Interactive QTP). Your back-end scripts and data validation can be completed with the use of custom QA data analysis programs and Excel macros. 
Anatomy of a structured automated test
Once all the components have been created and refined, they can be grouped together as shown below to enable the test case of an existing user's purchasing workflow. As changes are made to the basket or checkout functionality in future releases this test case will be able to leverage the changes made to the modular portions without changes. 
Major Assessment Factors - Creating an initial set of reusable components
- Impact of ongoing development
- Page object names changes
- Scripts must run and complete providing valuable results.
- When modifying the vb code, tests can be tuned to run smoothly in all cases but provide very little benefit
