What Does it Do
What Needs to Be tested
How can it be executed
Where will it be implemented
PageEducating –
• Reaching out to the vendor about training (FREE)
• Understanding what Communities that are available.
• Looking for Training Videos
• Knowing “YOUR Y”
Attempt to implement POC
Be Okay with reassessing your framework

Creating a Time Line & ExpectationsKeep Goals Attainable:
Create 1 Test that runs without failureGoal 2: Create a Test SuiteGoal 3 : Create a Smoke TestGoal 4: Create Regression ScriptGoal 5: Script run automatically thru TestComplete. Goal 6: Placing script in shared location and allow other users to execute scriptGoal 7: Script Runs without errors for certain amount of time. Goal 8: Implementing Scripts into Continuous Integration by being able to be run thru QA complete.

PageResearching – Do Your Research
Discovering what type of frameworks can be used. We first had to Identify the correct frame work to use for our Automation.
We decided to compare the following:
• Modular
• Data Driven
• Keyword-Driven
How Test Complete helped us :
• Allowed us to use a modular design framework
• Allowed us to Capture items in objects to do a comparison thru the UI and Database.
• Easy to integrate with our QA Repository
• Easy to onboard other QA Members

Final Thought
Impossible is defined as “Not Capable of being accomplished” however, if you have a plan and a willingness to fall and get back up you can always do the impossible.
