Regression Testing for dummies

Question

Hi,

I'm looking to implement regression testing of my web apps before I release them.

Simply put, I'm looking for something that could do the following:

1. record tests via a web browser using something like selenium
2. load those tests into an app
3. make my required logic/feature changes
4. run test scripts
5. view test status (pass/fail)
6. fix broken tests
7. rinse and repeat

I'd like a QA person who has minimal coding skills to be able to do the above. This is in addition to coders doing their own lower level regression and unit tests.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use IBM's Rational Robot tool for doing all the above.

Answer 2

I'd have a look at

1. Testcomplete. Commercial tool.
2. AutoIt. Free

Answer 3

Selenium RC does work well for what you are describing. I was able to use TestNG to manage the Selenium tests. Both good and both free!
