A Test Automation Framework is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing. The main advantage of such a framework is the low cost for maintenance. ...

it can define as:
-Defines a set of guideline for all phases of test automation
-best practice followed to support automation
-can be visualized as a wrapper around some complete internal architecture to make it easy for the end user
-set of standards used for implementation
-break the testing activities and inter-relate them to work as a whole
-idea is to get efficient testing and achieve all the goals of automation

Answer / seema

Please describe :
1. Keyword Driven Framework
2. Linear Framework
3. Moduler Framework
4. Hybrid Framework.

i have a little idea about Keyword Driven Framework and
Moduler Framework

Keyword Driven Framework - where we create O.R., Scripts,
Data tables, Function Library and etc.

Moduler Framework - we can call reusable existing /
external Actions in a particular Action.

Let me know, if i am wrong.


Thanks

Automation Frame work is Nothing but execute the Test
script of a functionality of particular application, so
that we must associate the all required files of that
application to recognige the words whatever we used in
entire script. And its vary from company to company and
also project.

Answer / subhani

Automation frame work is a set of guidelines,coding
standards,assumptions,concepts and practices that provide
software to automated testing.
it is like a planing for the project ,in which it
invovles identification of common functionalities,define
coding standards and naming conventions,common repository
files and define the folder structure of the automations
testing.
The use of the automation frame work is
(1)Automation frame work is particularly help full for
regression testing ,as it allows regression testing of
critical business with minimal effort .
(2)it is consistent and repeatable test execution.
(3)ability to run test unattended.
(4)autonation testing can increase the testing
reliability,repeatability and reusability while descreasing
the time and effort required completing a test cycle.
(5)datadriven methodology provides the opportunity to
significantaly increse test coverage because more data
input combinations and different data choices can be
quickly executed.

Framework <<<< Frame work is a set of guidelines assemption
and procedure to perform a task in sufficiant way

Why frame work .... in qtp we will maintain different files
and perform different tasks so, we need to put in order
thats y frame work will occured.

files are... OR files , test data files , test log files,
environment files(XMl), library files (VBS) .etc..

Tasks are ... parameterization, synchronization, flat files
, etc...

(some spelling mistakes is ther dont mind it friends) but is
pure and correct answer follow it

automation frame work is nothing but a set of guidelines
designed by expert to accomplish a task in an

1.script modularity framework
2.library architecture framework
3.keyword driven or table driven framework

5.hybrid automated test framework

1.this framework requires to develop simple and independent
scripts to represent modules,sessions and functions of AUT.

2.The test library architecture framework is very similar to
the test script modularity framework and offers the same
advantages, but it divides the application-under-test into
procedures and functions instead of scripts. This framework
requires the creation of library files that represent
modules, sections, and functions of the application-under-test.

3.Keyword-driven testing and table-driven testing are
interchangeable terms that refer to an
application-independent automation framework. This framework
requires the development of data tables and keywords,
independent of the test automation tool used to execute them
and the test script code that "drives" the
application-under-test and the data. Keyword-driven tests
look very similar to manual test cases. In a keyword-driven
test, the functionality of the application-under-test is
documented in a table as well as in step-by-step
instructions for each test.

4.Data-driven testing is a framework where test input and
output values are read from data files (datapools, ODBC
sources, cvs files, Excel files, DAO objects, ADO objects,
and such) and are loaded into variables in captured or
manually coded scripts. In this framework, variables are
used for both input values and output verification values.

5.The most commonly implemented framework is a combination
of all of the above techniques, pulling from their strengths
and trying to mitigate their weaknesses. This hybrid test
automation framework is what most frameworks evolve into
over time and multiple projects.

SRSS: automation frame work is nothing but a set of guidelines designed by group of experts to accomplish a task in an effective,eficcient and an optimised way.
there are 4 different types of frame work 1)linear 2)
modular 3)keyword 4)hybrid
max we follow keyword framework
keyword frame work is nothing but creating a software
structure like
1)scripts 2)object repository 3)test data 4)recovery
scenario 5)log files 6)library files etc
1)create scripts and save it in scripts component
2)create shared o.r and save it in o.r component
3)create test data and save it in test data component
etc
after creating all these components include the files or
components to script or qtp and execte the script

Answer / kishore kumar

Before talking abt Framework we need to understand the
Application it means we need to know the basic and important
flows. only then we can determine how to structure the
Reusables/actions/functions. which interns says what has to
be passed as parameters how we are going to plug in to make
test script. modularity. Automation framework is a
Structured format which states how we are going to create
the modules,library files,OR,Parameters etc.
Under <<Application folder>> we usually have below folders
1.Test scripts/Driver scripts
2.Library Files
3.Object repository
4.Results (Html result,Word Format,QTP Result any one which
client wants).
4.Reusables (QTP Test files)
a simple change with the above structure will check the
framework if we put library files folder out of application
folder then the library files can be access able across
various Applications. thats where framework differs with a
small change not by any means but by structure.

Data driven -> when data drives/determines the flow is data
driven.
key word driven -> passing a keyword which drive the flow
say Input,Verify,output,launch..are the keyword which drives
or trigger the even to perform the actions in a test script.
Hybrid -> mixture of both.

When I start recording any web application (either Mozilla or IE) QTP recognizes window instead of browser and also it does not show all the hierarchy tree of that particular web page. 1. Window("Mozilla Firefox").Check CheckPoint("Mozilla Firefox") 2. As everybody knows it should be browser("Mozilla Firefox").Check CheckPoint("Mozilla Firefox") I am using the windows vista, do you think it may be a problem of my settings in QTP or problem of my installation. Your kind responses will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Satya
