As the complexity of software system increases, delivering quality software successfully
becomes an ever more challenging task. Applying automated testing techniques effectively to the
software development process can reduce software testing effort substantially and assure
software quality cost-effectively. Thus the future of software testing will rely heavily on
automated testing techniques.
This thesis describes a practical approach to automated software testing by investigating and
analyzing different automation test tools in real-world situations. In view of the fact that the key
to successful automated testing is planning, understanding the requirements for automated testing
and effectively planning is critical and essential.

This thesis presents the design and implementation of an automated testing framework. It
consists of an automated testing tool, which is based on the commercial product TestComplete,
as well as associated testing processes. The application area is telephony communications
software. To demonstrate the viability of our automated testing approach, we apply our testing
framework to a Voice-over-IP telephony application called Desktop Assistant. This case study
illustrates the benefits and limitations of our automated testing approach effectively.
