Vijay Rangaiah and Sharadindu Mohanty present SPI - WATS, an open source web automation testing framework that provides test management, manual test case development, traceability from test cases to automation tests, and continuous test execution of automation suites for builds. SPI - WATS uses open source tools like Selenium for automation, Test Link for test management, Java for the framework, MySQL for the database, Apache Tomcat for hosting results, and Jenkins for continuous integration. It provides a cost-effective solution for clients by using open source tools for test management, continuous integration, and automation, with benefits like portable scripts, no manual dependency for running tests, faster time to market, and scalability.

4. SPI - WATS Web Automation Testing Framework
4
SPI -WATS is a complete OSS solution Framework for
Web Automation Testing which Provides features on
par with Commercial Tools
• Test requirement management
• Manual Test Case development
• Traceability from Manual Test case to Automation Tests
• Continuous Test Execution of Automation Suites for Builds
• Test Reporting, Email Notification/ Web posting of Results

5. Concept & Technology Used
Concept: The Selenium automation test suites are linked to a OSS test
Management tool (Test Link) through SPI developed Java Swing Application. The
automation test can be run from this Application as well as from the CI Tool Jenkins,
triggered automatically whenever a new release build is deployed by the
Configuration Management team and results are generated automatically and
posted to stakeholders.
Technology/Tools Used: OSS tools & Components
 Selenium – Web Automation Test Tool.
 Test Link – Test Management tool for test case creation & execution.
 Java - Swings for graphical user interface & framework handling.
 MySQL- Database connectivity for robust framework.
 Apache Tomcat - Web server for hosting test results online (web & mobile).
 XML, JSP, Google graphs & jQuery – for Web reporting.
 Jenkins for Continuous integration of build & Test execution of Automation Test Suites. 5
