Vision of automation test platform?

NEST as foundation for Test automation framework?

Several months ago I got a idea to use NEST as foundation for test automation platform.

There is several interesting projects going on which could be part of my “silver bullet solution” I will describe this “solution” later

About NEST Project Platform usage…

Last couple years I have been using NEST Project Platform as training environment. Now days it has been working quite nice from my point of view There is still lot for pit and holes but I can live with them. From student point of view there is lot of issues which can be very annoying.

-Linking and moving around environment is not so simple

-There is no user guide!!!

-Diffrent tools are having different styles/themes

That’s why I would like to do better “User Guide for Nest Environment” I hope we can get at last some place for training movies.

SW Testing Course started with pre-version of NEST 1.2

I have started a  Software testing course at JAMK. This course is running on NEST Project Platform 1.2 pre-release version as a real life test.

Targets for several student teams in course are listed below:

-Do “simple” consept design and Requirement model around “Virtual” project IFDK (Internal Flame Drum Kit)

-Requirement model is used as reference for testing topics like (System testing, Integration testing and unit testing)

- All testing is done in context of Android SDK if possible.
