What’s the hype all about?
Automation Framework:

• To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Automation testing process it is important to find ways
to improve Re-usability of scripts.

• A test automation framework is a set of assumptions, concepts, and practices that provide support for
automation testing.

• It mainly contains Component functions which can be used on every application irrespective of the
environment in which they are built

• Since the framework's functions automatically performs validations on every object within every action,
many hours of script coding and debugging also avoided.
Why to Develop an Automation Framework.
Advantages:
• Re-usability of scripts
• Can be used independent of AUT and dependent on technology and testing tool
• Scripts can be developed even when application development is still in progress
• Uniformity is maintained for all the scripts

Disadvantages:
• Initial cost and effort required would be quite high
• Constant changes to framework would lead to increased re-work of scripts
Features of Automation Framework.
• The test framework should be application-independent - "We should focus our
automation framework to deal with the common components that make up our
unique applications.“

• The test framework must be easy to expand, maintain, and perpetuate- "We must
always remember: our ultimate goal is to simplify and perpetuate a successful
automation framework.“

• The test strategy/design vocabulary should be framework independent - "A good


test strategy can remove the necessity for both manual and automated test scripts.
The same ‘script’ should suffice for both.“

• The test strategy/design should remove most testers from the complexities of the
test framework.
Components of Automation Framework
Types of Framework
• Functional Decomposition or Modular Approach

• Test Library Architecture Approach

• Data Driven Approach

• Keyword Driven Framework

• Hybrid Approach (implementing multiple framework approaches)


Types of Framework
Functional Decomposition:

• Common functions can be integrated/called in individual Testscripts


• To build test library by identifying the common functionalities in AUT

Advantage:

Quick and easy to implement

Disadvantage:

Not as robust as Keyword Driven Approach


Types of Framework
• Keyword Driven Framework

• Requires the development of datatables and Keywords

• Independent of Test Automation Tool

• Development of Master Script code and Keyword functions that drive the AUT and the data

Pros:
Robust framework
Knowledge on Key Words usage is sufficient

Cons:
More initial time and effort is required than anyother framework
Details steps for each test condition need to be documented
Keyword Driven Framework
Types of Framework
Data Driven Approach

• A data-driven framework is where test input and output values are read from data
files

• Utilises a modular design where files are used to input as well as verify data

• Reduces redundancy and duplication of effort in creating automated test scripts

• If functionality changes, only the specific "Business Function" script needs to be


updated
Types of Framework
Hybrid Approach

 It is a combination of all of the above techniques, pulling in their strengths and


trying to mitigate their weaknesses.

 The most successful automation frameworks generally accommodate both


Keyword-Driven testing as well as Data-Driven scripts

 You can implement modularity by nesting test scripts and using the library files (or
objects) to implement functions, procedures, or methods.
