Approaches to Automated Testing

The focus of these guidelines and the initial remit of GoR institution Testing Services is aimed at introducing and embedding the key principles of manual testing to GoR Institutions and associated business areas. Once the principles and associated processes of manual testing have been implemented and suitably matured the aspirational goal is then to look at how automated testing can complement and replace existing manual testing processes.

However, whilst automation of testing activities will not formally be part of the day-to-day processes, GoR Testing Services will always be reviewing ways to improve the testing framework. Further regular reviews of this policy are planned and the approach to automation may be updated to reflect the approach at that time.
