A test automation framework in POCT system using TDD techniques

Abstract

Nowadays, the growth of IT business are highly competitive both of development process and functionality of software to meet mostly customer requirements. Normally, software performance should develop to increase the high quality whilst it should reduce both of the cost and the time. The IT business is to start the attention with satisfaction of the customer for expanding opportunities of grown business. The problem of former software development is an operation under the pressure conditions affecting to see more bugs of the software in a period of testing system and delivering the program to the required customer. This paper presents an implementation of approach which is an agile development (If what we do that able to modify the code to meet the requirement in the future, that's call agile.) using Test Driven Development (TDD) in automation testing framework for software development process. It helps optimization of software testing as it can found early bug, flexible for requirement changes in the future, either to increase or change requirement without any effect on coding behavior. It also helps to reduce cost of software development as a human resource, time and rapid feedback of test result. We apply this approach with prototype in software development processes using the Point of care testing (POCT) system which is as an example to create test case with black-box and white-box testing techniques based on the requirements specification to improve more product quality. © 2013 IEEE.
