1. AUTOMATION FRAMEWORK

2. AGENDA
 What is Automation Framework
 Why we need
 Advantages
 Types of Framework
 Framework Architecture
 How to Design (Practical..)

3. WHAT ?
Automation Framework is not a single
tool or process but it’s collection of
tools and processes working together to
support automated testing of an
application

4. WHAT ?
It integrates function libraries, test
data, object details and various
reusable modules

5. WHAT ?
Is an integrated environment that sets
the rules, assumptions, standards,
concepts, guidelines and tools to aid
automated testing

6. WHY ?
 To maintain the defined approach across the test suites
 To fasten the work progress
 To easy maintain the test code
 To eliminate the human error
 To test the application effectively
 To achieve CT and CD

7. ADVANTAGES
Defined approach to be followed by everyone across
the test suite
Understandable code
Low cost maintenance
Reusability of code

8. ADVANTAGES
Maximum coverage
Minimal manual intervention
Easy Execution & Reporting

9. Automation Frameworks
Module Driven
Framework
Data Driven
Framework
Keyword Driven
Framework
Hybrid
Framework`
TYPES :

10. MODULE DRIVEN
FRAMEWORK

11. MODULE DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
Module Driven Framework is based on one of
the OOPs concept – Abstraction
The framework divides the entire “Application
Under Test” into number of logical and isolated
modules

12. MODULE DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
For each module, we create a separate and
independent test suite
These modules are separated by an abstraction
layer in such a way that the changes made in
one module doesn’t affects other module scripts

13. MODULE DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
Integrating all the individual modules together
builds a larger test suite representing entire
application under test

14. PROS’ OF MDF
Easier and cost efficient maintenance due high level of
modularization
The framework is pretty much scalable
If the changes are implemented in one part of the
application, only the test script representing that part
of the application needs to be fixed leaving all the

15. CONS’ OF MDF
While designing the test scripts for each module, we
embed the test data into the test scripts.Whenever we
want to test with a different set of test data, it requires the
manipulations of test scripts

16. CONS’ OF MDF
Need to modify the script if sanity or regression based
testing to be performed other parts untouched.

17. DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK

18. DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
This framework is mainly centralized with Test Data
Test Script will not be embedded with test data
Test Data will be stored in external databases like
xml, csv, excel, odbc repository with key-value map.
Ex :Validating Gmail login functionality

User Name Password HomePage Message
Shruthi Superman Welcome Shruthi
1234 (@)(&) Welcome 1234
Test123 Test456 WelcomeTest123
Key Value
Username_Shruthi Shruthi
Password_Shruthi Superman
WelcomeMessage_Shruthi Welcome Shruthi

19. PROS’ OF DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
 Pros
 Single test script can be executed with all various Test Data, so more
coverage
 Increases flexibility and maintainability of test data because one place to
modify
 Cons
 The process is bit complex
 Requires proficiency in a programming language that is being used to
develop test data sources and reading mechanisms

20. PROS’ OF DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
 Pros
 Single test script can be executed with all various Test Data, so more
coverage
 Increases flexibility and maintainability of test data because one place to
modify
 Cons
 The process is bit complex
 Requires proficiency in a programming language that is being used to
develop test data sources and reading mechanisms

21. 3) KEYWORD DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
 As the Name suggests, it enables Keyword Driven Testing or Table Driven
Testing
 Data & Keyword Tables being Independent of the Automation Tool
 Enables documentation of the functionality of the Application under Test
(AUT) in A tabular format

22. PROS’ & CONS’
 Pros
 Easy to use since the approach is keyword based
 Easy to modify the execution layer
 Cons
 Requires proficiency in a programming language that is being used to
develop keyword based functional library

23. 4) HYBRID FRAMEWORK
 Hybrid Testing Framework is a combination of more than one above
mentioned frameworks. The best thing about such a setup is that it
leverages the benefits of all kinds of associated frameworks

24. HOWTO DESIGN :
 Identify the Scope of Testing
 Company Oriented, Application Oriented, Project Oriented
 Identification of the Needs of Testing
 Identify Types of testing e.g. Functional Testing, Web Services etc. and
application / modules to be tested
 Evaluation of the Test Automation Tool
 Preparation of Evaluation Checklist, Identification of the Candidate Tools
Available, Sample Run, Rate & Select the Tool, Implementation &
Training

25. POM DESIGN PATTERN
 Test scripts will be written on page wise
 Ex: Home Page has features like header, footer, menus and carousal
Images.
 All the home page features validation script is written in one class file
 Advantages:
 Script maintenance is easy since its in page level.
 Since its page level, stitching of scripts to make entire test suite is
easy
 Disadvantage's:
 Classifying the scripts into Sanity, Functional and Integration is not
easy
 Partial execution is not possible

26. HYBRID DESIGN PATTERN
 Hybrid Module
 It’s the combination of multiple framework design pattern like data
driver, keyword driven, module driver etc.
 We can achieve maximum benefit since we are clubbing multiple
frameworks pattern

27. FRAMEWORK ARCHITECTURE

28. FRAMEWORK COMPONENT
 Object Repository
 Object Repository is consist of set of locators types associated with web
elements in the application
 Test Data
 Input data with which the test scenario would be tested and it can be the
expected values with which the actual results would be compared.
 Configuration File
 The file stores the information regarding the application URL, browser
specific information, server IP, device ID’s etc.
 Generics/ Readers
 These are the utility classes that store the functions which can be commonly
used across the entire framework.
 Build tools and Continuous Integration
 These are the tools/API’s used to build, deploy the application, generate test
reports, email notifications and logging information.

29. FRAMEWORK COMPONENT (CONT..
 Logging:
 Logging mechanism generates the log file, which writes the entire stack
information of the application during run
 Reporting
 Reporting is the key point in success of any automation framework
 Since Selenium doesn’t have inbuilt reporting mechanism we can rely on
TestNg / ReportNg report, Extent Report, html based customized report
etc.
 Execution:
 Execution can be initiated by using Eclipse, ANT Build, TestNg , Jenkins
and Email based triggering using outlook
 Scheduling can be done using Windows scheduler and Jenkins
