Automation is an important aspect of software testing. Testers use various tools to automate their testing activities. The choice of instrument depends on the type of application under test. There are several commercially available tools such as Rational Robot, Mercury Quick Test Pro, eventing and many more.
Makes automation to make life easy, but the automation of the testers in itself is a difficult task. There are many problems they face, while the automation of an application and a tester has to find a get around that problem.
In this section we give some tips for automating Geek Test. These tips are mainly drawn from personal experiences and are very useful in cases where a tester is stuck in a similar situation.
Waiting for long to complete processing
A common problem they face, while automation of the financial applications or application that requires too much processing time is expected to appear some windows or buttons that is activated after processing operations very long. This time can vary from 5 min. 30 min. Sometimes the automation tool does not respond after a long interval. One of them was found to the automation of an insurance company based on the application. The processing time is more than 15 minutes and the tool for automating the response after 15 minutes. The result was that the evidence can not be completely automated. To address this issue had many options:
1. Property Waiting: allows you to pause script execution until the specified property object is equal to the value specified or until the specified timeout is only
2. Waiting Child: This delays the execution of the functions of the script for the specified period or until the specified object.
3. BUT these tricks do not work for the processing time of 30 minutes. This was the work on monitoring the CPU usage. Since the process this function. CPU Usage "will constantly monitor the CPU and will pause script execution until the CPU has been reduced to zero or below. This trick is very effective. Even after 40 minutes of processing time, I follow my script execution as intended. Wait for the circuit to the CPU usage is 0.

Hi,
First of all Thanks very much for your useful post.
I would like to introduce another good blog which is having free software testing ebooks and technical content, Have a look.
