Several programming languages such as TCL/Expect, Perl help automation testing of products
however there is a cost to learn these languages that slows down the automation (plans).
Usually automation is done by special-qualified teams and it does not become part of
software/product development and is not used by developers for unit testing, integration
testing or by testers in early stages of testing. Resulting in bugs in products
that are found at much later stage of the game but however could have
been found if teams could automate early enough.
Mission of Project
SubTest is to develop a framework that is extremely easy to use so that developers/testers can start automating
testing in the early stages of product development. And, of course the framework has to be scalable,
modular, easy to maintain.
Project SubTest initially focuses on Command line testing of products however
architecturally it is aware of what else is needed.
Plan is to use programming language PERL.
