3.  Effort and Cost
◦ Lets assume 6 test cases
◦ Effort required to run all 6 manually => 10 min
◦ Effort required to write unit tests for all 6
cases => 10 min
◦ Effort required to run unit tests for all 6 cases
=> < 1 min
◦ Number of testing iterations => 5
◦ Total manual testing time => 50 min
◦ Total unit testing time => 10 min

5.  A testing framework or more specifically a testing automation framework
is an execution environment for automated tests. It is the overall system in
which the tests will be automated.
 It is defined as the set of assumptions, concepts, and practices that
constitute a work platform or support for automated testing.
 The Testing framework is responsible for:
 Defining the format in which to express expectations.
 Creating a mechanism to hook into or drive the application under test
 Executing the tests
 Reporting results
 Properties of a testing framework:
 It is application independent.
 It is easy to expand, maintain and perpetuate.

8.  To demonstrate the modular framework we use the Gmail program.
 Consider the basic functions of the calculator such as Login, send mail, send
mail with attachment, CC, Bcc.
We create scripts for these functions as follows:
8
‐LoginLink.Browse
‐UserNameField.EnterText. “test123”
‐PasswordField. .EnterText. “test123”
‐RememberPswd.Check
‐LoginButton.Click
‐Confirm Login
‐LoginLink.Browse
‐UserNameField.EnterText. “test123”
‐PasswordField. .EnterText. “test123”
‐RememberPswd.Check
‐LoginButton.Click
‐Confirm Login
‐ComposeButton.Click
‐ToField.EnterEmail. “toEmail123”
‐SubjectField. EnterText “Test Subject 123”
‐BodyField. EnterText “……”
‐SendButton.Click
‐Confirm.EmailSent
‐Logout
 User Login  Send Email
‐VerifyLink.ForgotPwd.isPresent
‐Application can have 100’s & 1000’s of
TestCases all needs to be updated.

9.  The Modular testing framework is built on the concept of functions or
modules.
 This involves the creation of independent scripts / functions that
represent the modules of the application under test.
 Thus the changes made to the other part of the application do not effect
that component.

Pros Cons
Changes require less effort
Reuse this over and over
Accuracy improved
Data is hard coded
Code needs change for change in data
QA Team 20% auto – 80% Manual
Manual engg also should use test
framework.

10.  To demonstrate the data driven testing framework we use the User login
function again.
 The first step involves creating the test data file. (testdata.csv)
 This data file contains the different types of input data which will be given to
the driver script.
 In the next step we create a driver script and make references to the test
data file.
10
‐Data = openfile(‘testData.csv’).read()
‐line = Data.splitLines()
‐LoginLink.Browse
‐UserNameField.EnterText.{line.useName}
‐PasswordField. .EnterText. {line.userPwd}
‐RememberPswd.Check
‐LoginButton.Click
‐Confirm Login
‐line++ then Loop

The driver script contains navigation through the program, reading of the data files
and logging of the test status information.

Pros Cons
Repeat same TC for various TD
Much more faster-efficiency
Sharing load with Manual QA
Changes with TC Requires code change
To add new TC, we have to do a code
change

12.  Assume your application under test is undergoing very frequent changes
 Need to cover various areas functional, regression, load, stress,
performance …
 More for automation and manual team can be further used
 By this time we separated functions and Data from main Program.
 How about if we separate the test steps and keep it external
12
Test Case Test Steps Test Data Element Identifier
User Login Browse https://.gmail.com address bar
Key in test123 By.ID(“user_Name")
Key in test123 By.name(“password")
Enable checkBox By. class("css selector")
Click loginBtn By. tagName(“LoginBtn”)
Hover homePage By.link("link text")

13.  Keyword driven testing is an application independent framework utilizing
data tables and self explanatory keywords to explain the actions to be
performed on the application under test.
 Not only is the test data kept in the file but even the directives telling
what to do which is in the test scripts is put in external input data file.
 These directives are called keywords. The keyword based testing is an
extension to the data driven testing.

Pros Cons
Change to TC, require no code Change
Add new TC require no code change
Webpage change & element
identification becomes issue
Dynamism in web objects

16.  Hybrid testing framework is the combination of modular, data-driven and
keyword driven testing frameworks.
 This combination of frameworks helps the data driven scripts take
advantage of the libraries which usually accompany the keyword driven
testing.
