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>

Collecting and documenting learning


We have to collect and store information by its category; the key discussion areas for which we will capture the information are stated in the following sections:

Key challenges

Every project has some challenges. Documenting these challenges and the methods of their mitigation will be of great help in future. These challenges can be related to people, tool technology, skills, or processes.

What went well

When positive outcomes are captured and documented, they become guidelines for future projects.

What can be better

When we capture what can be better, it suggests how proactively we can use these lessons to overcome the challenges already faced—these will help in risk identification and mitigation. Some of them can even be chosen as the goals for future projects.
