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>

Discussing lessons learned


The lessons learned revolve around the following topics:

  • Agenda: Set up a meeting with the key stakeholders to discuss the lessons learned for the test automation. Begin with setting up the meeting agenda.

  • Project details: Here you will introduce the project and its details, such as the technologies and tools used, domain of application, and team size and composition. The details for the key stakeholders can be summed up as follows:

    • Customer: This field will hold the customer's name.

    • Engagement/Project Name: The corresponding project name is to be mentioned.

    • Test Manager: This field will hold the test manager's name.

    • Project Manager: The project manager's name is to be entered.

  • Challenges: Brief the team on the key challenges faced and how you mitigated them. Encourage every team member to participate and assertively speak about their observation and learning. Challenges can belong to any of these areas, including technical, process, people, and skill issues.
