- Create big and complex
scenarios
- Use test automation tools
- Implement continuous
integration

5. Automate your tests
Approaches to test
automation:
- Test only web-services
- Test web-services together
with front-end part
Why test automation?
- Stable regression test
suite
- DDT
- Maintainable tests
- Continuous integration

6. What do we have in real life?
Developers: QA:
- unit-tests - simple request/response
- integration tests testing

7. How should it be?
Developers: QA:
- unit-tests - complex scenarios
- integration tests - test automation
- best test design practices are
used for creating testcases
- continues integration
- all requirements covered by
tests

8. Conclusions
- Test web-services and use QA knowledge and experience for this.
- Use test automation to make your testing more efficient
- Have a good quality of your product and a happy team
