High Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT) revolutionizes the approach to automation by enabling testing scenarios that exceed human capacity or would be prohibitively expensive. Developed from historical insights dating back to the 1970s, HiVAT encourages programmers to leverage automation in innovative ways. The introduction to HiVAT stems from earlier discussions by Cem Kaner, emphasizing how automation changes test design and execution fundamentally. The implementation of HiVAT was explored in the context of a UI testing framework for a specific software product, Quipucords, highlighting the decision-making process and valuable lessons learned throughout.
"High Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT) takes the idea that automation changes the very concept of how tests can be created, run and evaluated, and extends it to its logical conclusion."
"If you program a computer to interact with a software, you can program it to do things that would be too costly for a human to do, or which a human could never do."
