Automated Testing (ATF) opinions

This is a list of items I think the ATF Tests should include.

I think every test should have the following steps;

• Create users to use to for test (Server>Insert Record on sys_user)

• Create role(s) for the newly created user, as you may not always know a good user to test as.(Server>Insert Record on sys_user_has_role)

• Impersonate the user(Server>Impersonate)

• Use Server>Record Validation to test most field values

• Use Form validation for User Experience testing.

Tests should also follow these as well

• Track Tests in update set with the code

• Group Tests by tag.  Tag for Application, Testing Schedule, and Feature/Effort/Sprint

• Tests should be small units to test and not dependent on eachother.

• Tests should be part of the estimate of work when sizing work.

• Tests should run on a schedule.
