About the Book
This book is a practical guide aimed at transforming traditional manual testing methods into modern automated practices in software development. Beginning with a brief exploration of the challenges in manual testing, the book introduces the Fourfold Organized Concerns for User-aligned Software (FOCUS) pattern. It uses a case study of a Track Expenses feature in a Personal Finance Tracker application to demonstrate the practical application of the concepts, emphasizing the creation and use of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) used to define test cases.
The book delves into an innovative way to generate manual test scripts from DSL-defined test cases, illustrating a key step in the transition to automated testing. It encapsulates best practices and key takeaways for software testing professionals, highlighting the importance of example driven acceptance tests, iterative development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The book is an essential resource for those looking to navigate the shift from traditional to advanced testing methodologies in software development.
