4. -->What is Automation Framework?
A test automation framework is a set of
assumptions,concepts, and practices that provide support
for automated software testing.
So is a framework or methodology built to successfully

1. To have control over the testcases to be executed.
2. To get Customized Test Execution Report.
3. For better maintenance of testdata and test objects

Types Of Framework
---------------------------------
1. Modular Framework
2. DataDriven Framework
3. Keyword Driven Framework
4. Hybrid Framework

7. Modular Framework
-----------------------------
modularity framework requires the creation of small,
independent scripts that represent modules, sections,
and functions of the application-under-test. These small
scripts are then used in a hierarchical fashion to construct
larger tests, realizing a particular test case.
It is almost similar to record and playback feature.

8. Data Driven Framework
--------------------------------
It facilitates reusability of a function or a test. Using
DataDriven a frame work you can write a method and use
it several times, It also enables you to run multiples sets
of data.

9. Code For fetching data from excel sheet
-------------------------------------------------------
public String getCellData(String sheetName, String colName, int rowNum) throws
Exception{
String path = System.getProperty("user.dir");
System.out.println("Path :"+path);
try{
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new
Presenter: Rajendra Narayan Mahapatra,

File(path+"testdatatestdata.xls"));
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);
int i=0;
int colNum;
for(i=0; i<sheet.getColumns(); i++){
if(sheet.getCell(i,0).getContents().equals(colName)){
break;
}
}
colNum = i;
Cell cell = sheet.getCell(colNum, rowNum);
String cellContents = cell.getContents();
System.out.println("CellContents="+cellContents);
return cellContents;
}catch(BiffException getCellDataException){
System.out.println("Error While fetching data from Excel
Sheet :"+getCellDataException.getMessage());
return "Fail :"+getCellDataException.getMessage();
}
}
