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>

Preparing for the lessons to be learned


An organization that allows capturing of the lessons learned as a process becomes more efficient and effective in executing test automation projects from conception to completion. Ensure that the knowledge gained during the test automation life cycle should be captured in a way that it becomes effective for future references.

We will be organizing the lessons learned for the following areas:

  • People

  • Process

  • Framework design

Test managers and automation leads have responsibilities towards test automation, the automation team, as well as organizing and refining the processes. At each meeting, they should ask a series of questions regarding the following topics:

  • What has been achieved against the defined goals for test automation

  • What are the best ways to utilize the lessons learned for next releases and future projects

The discussion should be organized around the following three areas:

  • People: What are the skills, knowledge, and experience we have gained about...
