Automation Tool Testing

The Automation tools to write and execute test cases known as automation testing. No manual intervention required while executing an automated test suite.

Benefits of Automation Testing

  Reduction of repetitive work.
  Repeatability
  Greater consistency
  Ease of access to information about tests or testing

Automation framework divided into 4 different types

  Linear automation Framework:

the linear framework based on record and play the procedural code. this framework especially for very small projects and for the creation of smoke test. where only basic tests execute.

  Structured automation Framework:

The test cases are writing in a structured way using loops. if else statements, Switch statement and conditional statement. but it does not have any functions or modularity to make the framework more flexible.

  Modular automation Framework:

The reusable code put in functions. functions getting called whenever needed. it makes the framework more flexible and easy for maintenance.

  Data-driven automation Framework:

When some test needs to repeat for the different data set. Data-driven framework gets used. In this framework, Parameters in the test case gets linked to the database, excel, CSV, text files. their test case run for all defined parameter in the file.

  Keyword-driven automation Framework:

As Name suggest, Keyword nothing but a code. which represent some action, say login. in this framework map the set of code. which perform the certain action with a keyword across the framework.

  Hybrid automation Framework:

It is nothing but the mix of any frameworks together. most popular hybrid automation frameworks are Modular- Data drove and Keyword- data were driven.
