Ensure a Automation test suite that has the following features:
- Re-usability – Develop a robust function library to be used across the projects and within the application.
- Robustness – Develop a robust test suite that can be easily used for testing the application in different environments e.g. development, testing and production.
- Portability – To ensure easy installation of the suite in different environments.
- Modularity – Develop modular scripts to ensure maintainability, scalability and readability of the scripts.
- Scalability - Scalable scripts which can be upgraded/ enhanced.
- Maintainability – The approach should be such where in major effort goes in to the planning and developing the scripts where as least possible effort is required to maintain the same.
- Data Driven Testing – To perform positive and negative tests using data driven scripts. To achieve this, we need to a checklist for Automation Framework Planning:
- Identify the Scenarios / Test Cases for Smoke – 6 Identified Done
- Execute the Scenarios / Test Cases Manually at least 5 times - Done
- Get the Scenarios approved from QA Manager / Product Manager / Client - Done
- Create the Folder Structure – Done, C:\AST
- Create the shared object repository - Done
- Identify the Actions for the approved scenarios – Done with 8 Actions
- Create test data (take inputs from the manual testing team / SME’s) - Done
- Generate the Actions / Action library by hard coding the data – 8 reusable created, 0-pending
- Separate the data from the Actions / Reusable – Done
- Integrate / call the Actions in the main test - Done
- Execute & debug the Actions / Reusable - Done
- Get the Actions reviewed by the lead / manager / client - Done
- Create the AOM - Done
- Use Environment Variables - Done –Build in, user defined Functions
- Schedule the Smoke Test - Done
