“Testing the Application or Web sites by using Automation Tool is called Test Automation or Automation Test”

Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions.

Test automation involves automating a manual process already in place that uses a formalized testing process.

Automation Frame Work :

Automation Framework is a process of

Structuring and Organizing Scripts to increase

the level of reusability and readability of

scripts.

Tool :

Is a mechanism used to simplify and speed the

effort required for testing.

Introduction to Automation Framework

Test Automation Framework is defined as a set

of assumptions, concepts, and practices that

constitute a work platform or support for

automated testing.

Automation Framework is a process of

Structuring and Organizing Scripts to increase

the level of reusability and readability of

scripts.

A framework defines the organization's way of

doing things - a 'Single Standard'.

Structured Robust Automation Framework Approach

1:Create a folder structure for Structured Robust Automation framework

2:Develop all required files(Lib files,OR files etc) for framework and store them in to respective directory

3:Create Driver Script in QTP Expert view and store it to root directory


4:Call Driver script from Expert view to execute the test scenarios

Structured Robust Automation Framework Approach – Contd..

Call to Driver Script from Expert View. It internally calls ScriptExecutionFile from the Library.

ScriptExecutionFile uses Scenariofile’s keywords and perform actions on the AUT respectively.

Test Result summary

Test Execution Result can be viewed and analyzed as soon as run session ends.

To access the Test Result ,choose Automation->Results menu item

Store them to respective folder for future reference

5:Analize Test result and store them for future reference

Structured Robust Automation Framework Approach – Contd..


Use of variables Conditional checking Data-driven testing Reports Calling functions and reusable actions Keyboard inputs Date/time functions Exception handling Handling object (Web or windows)

Structured Robust Automation Framework Features


Reusability Optimum utilization of the tool Less effort Increased quality Greater productivity Maintenance No scripting skills required by the end user Return on investment is high
