MetaAutomation is a pattern language of five patterns for test automation, especially but not exclusively suitable to regression tests. The patterns present solutions to common problems in test automation, for example: * Speed, scalability and reliability in running automation * Compact, strongly-typed and hierarchical artifacts to enable efficient analysis of detailed product quality information * Self-documenting checks (i.e. automated tests) * Avoiding false positives i.e. spurious automation failures * Minimizing blocked check measurements, but automatically documenting those that do occur * Effective and directed communications around automation failures MetaAutomation is language- and platform-independent. Matt Griscom created MetaAutomation in 2014 primarily as a means to create software test automation that provides sufficiently detailed artifacts that the follow-up debug sessions are seldom needed. The “Meta” of MetaAutomation represents going beyond the simple product automation that is only concerned with making the software product do operations, to record detailed information on those operations from the client perspective and provide structure for detailed information on product operations and failures, and make this information available quickly and to anyone on the team who is concerned with the details of functional product quality. To put it another way, the “Meta” addresses the “why” of software automation for quality. The five patterns of MetaAutomation in dependency order are: # Atomic Check # Precondition Pool # Parallel Run # Smart Retry # Automated Triage == Atomic Check == Atomic Check is the least-dependent pattern of the MetaAutomation pattern language. To use this pattern, design your automated tests (checks) around aspects of business logic for your software project, prioritized by importance. The most innovative and important aspect of this pattern is that the artifacts for the check have these properties: • 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MetaAutomation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
