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>

Best practices for collecting lessons learned


Automation team members always possess the key to learning at the back of their minds; it is always in the best interests of the individual, project, and the organization. It is important to bring these lessons into writing by documenting them.

Start capturing early

We should start the capture learning early, right from the conception phase. This allows us to capture most of the learning without losing the information due to procrastination.

Documentation and ensuring reusability

It is important to document the lesson(s) even if not organized initially. Only capturing and documenting the lessons learned is not enough. You need to ensure that these lessons are saved and available for reuse; they should be easily accessible across various teams.
