Overview
To be competitive, an organization must constantly improvise
its products and services and also at the same time, maintain
the quality of existing software and services. With the
introduction of Agile, release cycles are shortened and time
for testing also get reduced.
Hence, the challenge is to reduce time for completing a
testing cycle while maintaining the quality of the end
product. This gives way to Automation.

Evaluation of Various Approaches in Automation Testing
# Approach How it helps Remarks
1 Open source tool • Direct reduction in investment • Helps overcome budgetary
constraints
• Investment in effort might be
much larger than that in the tool
• Test Tool support virtually non ‐
existent
• Usually takes time to catch up on
the latest platform or technology
2 1st generation
Record & Playback
Little or no scripting support
• Extremely rapid creation of automation • Poor maintainability
• Lack of tool and APIs hamper
creation of any suitable
frameworks and is unsuitable for
enterprise apps
3 2nd generation
Record & Playback
With scripting language support
• Robust object recognition • Maintainability has to be built in
through a suitable framework
• Proficient in programming
language
4 Scriptless Testing • Automation based on a model of the app, thus the scale
of the operation is smaller
• Being based on a model, it provides a higher level of
abstraction, thus test design itself can benefit from this
approach
• Low Cost approach
• Wait and watch
• Save testing time
• Easy to start with it
• No need for coding skills

• Easy to use interface – uses Spreadsheets for test suit configurations and
development
• Reduces automation testing time to a large extent
• Eliminates the need for programming experts at every step
• Robust and extensible framework to support test automation on multiple
platforms i.e. on diverse sets of native, web and hybrid
• Single automation script can be used for multiple devices
• Supports data driven testing and reusable functions
• Regression, Functional, Acceptance and Compatibility testing for different
platforms/ Operating systems/ applications etc. can be achieved using
single script
• Supports both on device, emulator/ simulator and Test Labs
• Highly scalable with less maintenance of test scripts
• Increases test coverage as result to fewer product escapes
• Provides detailed reporting with videos, screenshots, passed and failed
reports in different formats

Benefits - Scriptless Automation Testing
• Requires a one time effort of Automation Expert to build the
architecture and design the complete solution
• Ease to use for testing team. No need to know the programming
language and can be done by a non-technical user
• Reduces learning curves as same approach is used across different
technologies/ applications
• Supports multiple platforms, devices etc.
• Applicable to all areas of automation testing like Regression, smoke,
UAT etc.
• Automation tests can be executed more faster and at every stage
• Provides a comprehensive test result reports hence reduces time
spent analyzing failures
• Ability to keep up with increased product workload without
increase in resources
• Easy to maintain complete framework
• Increases test coverage as a result to fewer product escapes
• Fully compatible with Agile methodology as testing can be done on
every step
Limitations:
Need an Automation engineer to maintain the Application
Areas and Object Repositories.

Scriptless Testing Framework – How it Works….

Automation using Scriptless Framework

Components of Framework
Configuration
• Configuring automation suite is very easy
• Same configuration can be used for multiple projects with
minor changes
• Can be configured for multiple browser/ platforms/ OS at
the same time
• Can be configured for native application
• Is capable of executing test case on the basis of priority so
as to monitor risk areas
• Option to get Videos of complete execution
• Is able to get screenshot of all the executed steps
• Is capable of sending emails to multiple users with the test
reports
• Test execution can be scheduled as per the requirement
like downtime

Object Repository
• All page objects are listed
• Object elements should be unique
• Supports multiple locators like xpath, css, id etc.
• Can be listed in separate .txt file
• Can also be directly written in Test Case sheets

Test Suite
• Collection of all the test scenarios
• Can be chosen to form regression suite, smoke suite etc.
• Can be written for multiple modules
• Can be executed as per the requirement
• Easy to maintain
• Can be executed in required sequence

Test Cases
• All Test Cases & Test steps are listed
• Page identifiers are listed to execute the automated
steps
• Can use multiple identifiers locators
• Predefined functions are listed in the dropdown
• Action can be performed using predefined functions
• Test Data can be created as per the test steps
• Expected result can be compared with Action Result
• Test step result can also be captured
• Test step can be reused for multiple devices and
platform in a single run

Script Execution
• Easy to execute
• Execution on a single click
• No need for programming knowledge
• Step wise output analysis
• Complete log creation

Reporting
• Simplified Reports
• Reports can be extracted in multiple formats
• Step wise video recording
• Screenshot of all the pages
• Automatic trigger of emails to all the stakeholders

Net Solution’s Framework
Net Solutions Test Automation service helps customer to achieve following goals:
• Automation can be done after every change
• Automation testing will be consistent i.e. each test is executed in the same way
• Testing can be started early, and can be executed over multiple platforms
• Regression test can not be sacrificed due to time constraint
• Regression test can be executed more often to detect any error as early as possible
• Total testing time gets reduced, allowing the final product to hit market in a shorter time
• Control Testing cost as Automation gives control over the test execution
• Helps the client mitigate risks and hence avoid extra costs, increase productivity without sacrificing quality
• Provides Automation Videos and Screenshots on regular basis
We help clients to increase testing quality by using an effective test methodology and an industry leading testing strategy, approach and
framework. The main aim is to reduce the regression testing time and save extra efforts in script development. We also assist clients in
improving their test coverage by reusing the test scripts across platforms, technologies, OS and multiple environments.
