|
|
framework is a set of assumptions, concepts, and practices for your test automation project. Its code that makes our automation more maintainable and sometimes makes scripts easier to write.
Frameworks are most commonly used in large test automation efforts, where the focus is on creating regression test scripts. Common framework buzzwords include data-driven, keyword-driven, and object map.
When trying to figure out what type of test automation u need for a given problem, ask urself the following questions:
Whats the goal of my testing?
What aspect of the application am I trying to cover with this test or set of tests?
What risk(s) does this test address?
What specifically am I looking for automation to solve?
Where will this test run, and how long will I need to maintain it?
Will someone other than me look at or maintain this code, and what (if anything) will he or she need to be able to do with it? |
