Augmented System Verification Using Automated Testing

Abstract

A verification process is an evaluation of whether or not a product satisfies its requirements, which typically includes a visual verification activity. This is sometimes referred to as acceptance testing. Minimal or no human interaction is the construct of fully automated testing, which is often not sufficient for verification process/user acceptance testing. An approach for writing automated testing is described here, which augments the human verification process while still leveraging the benefits of test automation.
