Automation Setup
Create the automation setup as development environment and execution environment. Development environment should support the automation script development. Install the testing tool and supporting packages, IDE or any UI to develop the script. If the testing tool is commercial, then collect the list of softwares and packages. Follow the instructions given by the commercial tool provider. Plan the development setup properly and keep the scripts in version control.
Test execution setup
Execution setup requires the test scripts which is developed and reviewed as per business needs. Then the application to be tested. To run the automation scripts correctly and successfully, AUT (Application Under Test) should be separate from other testing environment. Which will help to avoid failures in test automation. AUT has to be installed with default data, configuration. Lets say automation is looking for user1 as supervisor but the user not available in the database, then automation will fail. Also all user configuration and rights remains same in all the versions.
Automation scripts always look for the data feeded in the script. If any of the data is mismatched, then the automation test will fail. Have to check the internet connectivity and make sure there will not be any interruption.
Review the setup for every release and make sure it is ready to execute for every release. Notification for test report should be configured and always shared with team.
