Wat ga je doen?

The goal of this internship is to research existing automated GUI testing solutions—both open-source and commercial—and implement a prototype testing framework tailored to a selected application within the company.

• Research Component
• • Market Analysis: Investigate existing automated GUI testing tools (e.g., Selenium, TestComplete, Ranorex, Squish, Playwright, etc.).
  • Company Practices: Interview team members and review internal documentation to understand which tools have been used previously, and gather feedback on their effectiveness and limitations.
  • Evaluation Criteria: Define criteria for evaluating tools (e.g., ease of use, integration with CI/CD, support for different platforms, scripting capabilities, maintenance effort).
• Implementation Component
• • Tool Selection: Based on research, select one or more tools for prototyping.
  • Test Case Definition: Choose a representative GUI application within the company (in consultation with your supervisor) and define a set of test cases (e.g., button clicks, form submissions, navigation flows).
  • Automation Framework: Implement automated tests using the selected tool(s), ensuring they are maintainable and scalable.
  • Documentation: Provide clear documentation of the setup, test cases, and results. Include a comparison of tools and a recommendation report.

Deliverables

• Research report summarizing findings and tool evaluations.
• Prototype implementation of automated GUI tests.
• Documentation of test cases, framework setup, and usage instructions.
• Final presentation to the team with recommendations.
