The document presents an automation testing solution and discusses challenges with the Selenium IDE. It proposes using the Selenium WebDriver as it supports various browsers and languages. The document also discusses different testing frameworks - modular, data-driven, keyword-driven, and a hybrid approach. The hybrid approach combines benefits of the other frameworks like reusable keywords and separation of test data from scripts.

We Started with Selenium IDE
CHALLENGES FACED WHILE USING IDE
 Condition statements
 Iteration or looping
 Logging and reporting of test results
 Error handling, particularly unexpected errors
 Test case grouping
 Capture screenshots on test failures
 Results Report generations

Solution to IDE challenges is
SELENIUM WEB DRIVER
 It helps us for cross browser automated testing of web
application.
 It supports IE, Firefox, Chrome.
 User can writes Scripts in JAVA , PERL , PHP and other
languages.
 And a Major fact we say
“Learning about web driver helps us to get closer to JAVA , HTML and
XPATH etc. its more like a fun rather just clicking in IDE” 

Optimized Automation Process
BY USING MODULAR FRAME WORK
Advantages:
 —The functionality is available in easy to use test libraries so
creating new Driver scripts for different tests is easy and fast.
Disadvantages:
 The main problem with modular frameworks is that the test
script have test data & Element Locators embedded in them. So
when the test data needs to be updated we need to change the
code of the script. This becomes a big problem when the test
script is large.

5. 5
Advantages:
 Less amount of code is required to generate all the test cases.
Disadvantages:
 The test cases created are similar and creating new kind of tests
requires creating new driver scripts that understand different
data. Thus the test data and driver scripts are strongly related
that changing either requires changing the other.

Data-Driven Approach

6. 6
Keyword- Driven Approach
Advantages:
 —Keywords are reused across multiple test cases.
Disadvantages:
 —The main problem is that this requires a more complicated
framework than the data driven framework.

7. 7
Hybrid Approach
 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.
