Introduction To Automation Framework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A framework is a set of rules or guidelines like Coding standards, Test data handling, etc. that the testing world follows systematically during Automation scripting to achieve the best output or results. It comprises best practices and tools that help the QA professionals to test and achieve more efficient results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing frameworks are an essential part of any successful automation testing process as they help in reducing Maintenance costs, Testing efforts, Code reusability, and many other things to achieve. Here we can achieve the best Return on Investment (ROI) by showcasing it to the client along with the benefits that we are achieving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Automation Framework<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The major benefits include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Increase the Testing team\u2019s speed and efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Improve the Testing team\u2019s Accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Reducing Test maintenance costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Maximum test coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Code reusability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Types Of Automation Framework<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It is very important to choose the type of framework while chalking out the test plan. Enlisted below are the most common types of test automation frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Linear Automation Framework<\/strong>: Record and playback framework, no coding is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Modular Based Testing Framework: The application<\/strong> is divided into individual modules and then tested separately. These modules are then combined to build larger tests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Data-Driven Testing Framework<\/strong>: Here, test data is stored externally in the form of Excel spreadsheets, Text files, CSV files, etc. Test scripts are connected to these files and the application is tested using these files multiple times with different test data sets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Keyword-Drive Testing Framework<\/strong>: This framework utilizes data tables and self-descriptive keywords that are also stored in the external files. Keywords represent various actions like click, login, etc. Keywords are stored sequentially with the required object and testing is done accordingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Hybrid Test Automation Framework<\/strong>: This framework is a combination of one or more frameworks mentioned above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      What Is TestNG?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \"Test<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      It is a Test Automation Framework for Java, inspired by JUnit and NUnit with new introductory functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use. NG means Next Generation. It is an open-source and free tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is designed to cover all the categories of testing like Unit Testing, Functional Testing, End to End Testing, Regression Testing, Integration Testing, etc. TestNG supports both Android as well as IOS Applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
