Transitioning Manual Testing to an Automated Environment

Question

Your TAS has been running successfully on a Windows/GUI based SUT for some years. The SUT has undergone minimal change over the years to maintain business as usual, deploying six- monthly releases for minor enhancements and bug fixes using a waterfall lifecycle. The TAS has not changed at all during this period. The current project for the SUT will be using the Scrum methodology to deliver a more modern, competitive, user interface. It is in the release planning stage with an agreed release backlog and set of sprints outlined. The move from lengthy waterfall releases to shorter sprints has led you to conduct a review of the current TAS to make sure it is robust and fully optimised for the timescale challenges of the new project. What two steps would be BEST to undertake during the review?

Explanation

Reviewing the functions that act upon the GUI controls for possible consolidation (d) helps improve maintainability and efficiency, which is vital when transitioning to shorter sprint cycles. Involving the test team (e) allows the TAS to be adapted for greater usability and productivity in an Agile context, aligning the solution with real user needs and making it more effective in the new development environment.
