Assignment
Prepare a Test Automation Project using a web or mobile application or API as your test object. Create a Test automation plan and copy the automation script into the test plan. Programming languages accepted: Java, Selenese, Ruby, Javascript
You must exhibit at least 2 of the following test automation techniques:
Object Oriented Techniques
Objects are created to modularize and reuse code
Test code is stored in objects
Component object design is used as opposed to page object design
Test data are stored in objects
Configurations and properties are stored in objects
Calls are made to the application and to APIs
Use of Data driven techniques
Create modular, reusable test libraries of functions
Create variables and arrays to store data
Create parameterized functions or methods to store data
Create file readers that pull in parameters from files (CSV, text files etc)
Abstract out the data from the test by externalizing the data
Add loops, conditions, create iterative tests that are data driven
Abstract out the UI locators from the tests by externalizing UI maps
Create global properties and configuration files
Use of keyword driven techniques
Create keyword driven libraries
ODBC/JDBC functions to read data directly from databases
Create spreadsheets of keywords: test operations, business operations
Create hierarchy of abstracted keyword spreadsheets
Build a Test Framework
Compatible with many test tools and common utilities (example: Selenium, WebDriver, Junit and Jmeter can all be called from common framework)
Abstracts away low level commands.
