Designing and Implementing Test Automation Frameworks with QTP

By: Ashish Bhargava

Overview of this book

<p>As software testing is maturing, the focus is shifting towards test automation. The key is to learn and grow skills in framework designing and start contributing to project organization goals.</p> <p>Through a helpful mix of conceptual and practical aspects, you will learn everything you need to know related to the implementation of frameworks using QTP. Through simple examples, you will gradually develop the skills needed to execute concepts and code blocks used to design and implement the test automation framework.</p> <p>This tutorial-based guide demonstrates an easy way to implement concepts to create a portable framework across the various versions of QTP. You will learn about the automation lifecycle and gradually develop technical concepts related to each phase. Within a short amount of time, you will be able to deal with challenges in test automation. "Designing and Implementing Test Automation Frameworks with QTP" uses a simple, yet elegant approach and gives the reader all the skills and knowledge they need to implement the framework.</p>

Application-independent framework


The application-independent framework is a specific keyword-driven testing or table-driven testing. It identifies the keywords that are independent of the AUT, which can perform specific actions on the components of the AUT directly. The key difference between the keyword-driven framework and application-independent keyword-driven framework lies in the library. In the application-independent keyword-driven framework, the functional library is more generic or works directly on the generic components for AUT. The following is the data table:

The functionality of the AUT is specified in the data table. The preceding table allows calculating some operations on the calculator window, which is 1 + 3 = and verify the result. The instructions are as follows:
