New Tutorial Alert 
We’re live with a brand-new series: Test Automation Framework Development!
Watch the first part now: Defining Scope and Requirements now. Dive into the essentials and start building your expertise from the ground up. Don’t miss out!
Hi,
You can also conduct workshops involving key stakeholders such as developers, testers, product owners, and business analysts. Define the scope by identifying critical functionalities, high-risk areas, and key user journeys.
Gather requirements by discussing acceptance criteria, non-functional requirements (like performance and security), and any specific edge cases or scenarios that need automation coverage. Document outcomes and decisions to align everyone on the automation framework’s scope and objectives.
Also, you can follow a risk-based approach to prioritize test automation efforts. Identify and assess risks associated with the application under test.
Focus automation efforts on high-risk functionalities or critical business processes that have a significant impact on system performance or user experience.
Define requirements by specifying the types of tests needed (e.g., functional, regression, performance) based on identified risks. This ensures that the automation framework targets areas most crucial for the application’s stability and reliability.
Besides above things, you can also:
Perform detailed use case analysis to define the scope of test automation. Break down application functionalities into use cases or user stories.
Map each use case to corresponding test scenarios that need automation coverage. Specify requirements by outlining the expected behavior, inputs, outputs, and acceptance criteria for each test scenario.
Ensure comprehensive coverage by prioritizing use cases based on business criticality and user impact, aligning automation efforts with business objectives and end-user expectations.
