wt is automation framework? give explonation?

Answer Posted / suresh kumar uppalapati

A test automation framework is a set of assumptions,
concepts, and practices that provide support for automated
software testing. This article describes and demonstrates
five basic frameworks.

Basing an automated testing effort on using only a capture
tool such as IBM Rational® Robot to record and play back
test cases has its drawbacks. Running complex and powerful
tests is time consuming and expensive when using only a
capture tool. Because these tests are created ad hoc, their
functionality can be difficult to track and reproduce, and
they can be costly to maintain.

A better choice for an automated testing team that's just
getting started might be to use a test automation framework,
defined as a set of assumptions, concepts, and practices
that constitute a work platform or support for automated
testing. In this article I'll attempt to shed a little light
on a handful of the test automation frameworks I'm familiar
with -- specifically, test script modularity, test library
architecture, keyword-driven/table-driven testing,
data-driven testing, and hybrid test automation. I won't
evaluate which framework is better or worse but will just
offer a description and a demonstration of each and, where
appropriate, some tips on how to implement it in the IBM
Rational toolset.

How do you script a nested loop in QTP? I am showing a snipet of my code. Any suggestions to help me get this to work would be great appreciated! STEP A - Customer Number: No loop - ISBN: Loop STEP B - Customer Number: Loop - ISBN: Nested Loop Here is the code I am using now. I am using i for the loop and j for the nested loop in STEP B of my script. =========================================== 'CREATE AN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER Dim myNum, RowNum, RowCnt2, val2, total, i DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" RowCnt2 = DataTable.GetRowCount i = 1 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' Set row to one Do while Not i > RowCnt2 i=i+1 DataTable.SetNextRow MsgBox Datatable.Value("Customer_Num") Msgbox i Msgbox RowCnt2 If Not i > RowCnt2 then val2=datatable.Value("Customer_Num","Global") OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").SelectMenu "File->New" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").Enter val2 End If 'CREATE SECOND ISBN LIST DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" Dim j, RowCnt3, val3 RowCnt3 = DataTable.GetRowCount For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' datatable.getSheet("DataTable").setNextRow If Trim(DataTable("ISBN",dtGlobalSheet)) = "" Then j = j - 1 Exit For End If Next 'Define ISBN rows If RowCnt3 <> j Then RowCnt3 = j End If 'Loop through ISBN rows For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) val3 = Datatable.Value("ISBN","Global") msgbox j If j = 1 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").Enter val3 else If j < 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).Enter val3 else If RowCnt1 => 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").InvokeSoftkey "DOWN" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").Enter val3 end if end if End If Next 'EXIT APP msgbox i loop Browser("Browser").Page("Oracle Applications 11i").Sync Browser("Browser").Close ========================================== It isn't working correctly in my nested loop in STEP B (for ISBN). Any ideas?? Thanks! SBsteve
