testing Framework

What is the meaning of testing Framework

Frame work actually means the process which we follow to do the Testing like mostly while Automating a Testing process we design a framework like creating reuable actions and calling them here ever we want and so on ..Process which we follow

Its method followed by the Test engineers. Before going to Start Automation Test operations we have to design a procedural approach.

hi i want to know what is test suit and fuzz test

[QUOTE=anuradha162;9026]What is the meaning of testing Framework[/QUOTE]

Hi
Framework is nothing but a standard approach which the entire Team follows in the course of a Project. This includes Folder structures, Naming conventions, File paths, Common Functions, etc

Frameworks can be of different types...... either system specific one or else QC implmented

QC impleted framework has a benefit of global access. I have myself worked on 2 frameworks in QC..... BPT & Actions framework

Even for system specific framework..... one can just emphasize on the reusability, naming conventions, folder sturcture, distributed ORs, ability to test it from any location, recovery, etc

[QUOTE=anuradha162;9026]What is the meaning of testing Framework[/QUOTE]

A testing Framework is a set of assumptions, concepts and practices that provide support for software testing.

Can I get the of the contents more specifically what goes into the testing framework ? Good information shared but want to know more

Framework will more specifically have a set of common functions or reusable scripts (actions or components). The naming convention should also be a standard one. Folder structure should be fixed.

I agree with debleena...A test automation framework is a set of assumptions, concepts, and practices that provide support for automated software testing

The test script modularity framework requires the creation of small, independent scripts that represent modules, sections, and functions of the application-under-test. These small scripts are then used in a hierarchical fashion to construct larger tests, realizing a particular test case.

This is my realization after using 5 different types of automation Framework
more over this is a set of approach where customers data is supplied to the script and start the execution..
It's a well-known programming strategy to build an abstraction layer in front of a component to hide the component from the rest of the application. This insulates the application from modifications in the component and provides modularity in the application design. The test script modularity framework applies this principle of abstraction or encapsulation in order to improve the maintainability and scalability of automated test suites.

There is new concept has come which is called hybrid ... The hybrid test automation framework the most commonly implemented framework is a combination of all of the above techniques, pulling from their strengths and trying to mitigate their weaknesses. This hybrid test automation framework is what most frameworks evolve into over time and multiple projects.

do you know guys regarding this framework in details??

its good message for all asking questions is easy but relpying answer is very difficult.

Hi

This is dileep all above answers are explaining about automation test structuring, but can any one give a clear picture with exapmples about mannual test structring

thanks

Frame work actually means the process which we follow to do the Testing like mostly while Automating a Testing process

There are 4 types of frame works in QTP

1.linear frame work
Modular frame work
3.Keyword driven frame work
4.Hybrid frame work

Testing framework is nothing but it one type of folder management. I am giving an example.Currently i am working on a qTP project.In this project i have to insert some data (input data) in a application and based on this data the application will give you some result(whether it is passed or failed).So you need to capture this data also.So till now we need three folders one for QTP script another for input data and another for Output(result).
To handle all these three folders properly we have to write a such a script in QTP which will incorporate all the folders.

[QUOTE=anuradha162;9026]What is the meaning of testing Framework[/QUOTE]

In my opinion, framework refers to a standard procedure which contains an application (or few scripts) which do the following actions:
- run several automated tests from a specified location
- store logs to a specified location
- parse logs and other useful informations
- create a HTMl file which contains a summary with the tests results
- create also other different log files with more detailed tests results
- In the end an e-mail is send to the persons interested in those results
- There is also a configuration file which contains variables to configure the test

I have to repeat that that's what my own framework does.
But basically framework is a procedure where you have:
An INPUT - actions to process the INPUT - OUTPUT / Deliverables

hi all, am new to this forum.......... Hereafter, i will be part of this forum.........

Can anyone tell me, What is Hybrid Framework?

hi,
I am new to this forum, just say hi to every one

[QUOTE=rama11;26179]Can anyone tell me, What is Hybrid Framework?[/QUOTE]

The hybrid test automation framework is a combination of all the techniques,

The hybrid test automation framework is a combination of all the testing techniques.

Hybrid frame work is the combination of all the 3 frames works( Linear ,Modular and Keyword driven frameworks)

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii frnds,

I'm here 2 learn more.Be in contact 2 eachother.:)

hi do u want to know abt testing frame work

Hi,
As my knowledge Hybird frame work is combination of Data driven frame work and module driven frame work.

Module driven Frame work:
we will divide entire project into modules and write functions or procedures for each and
every module and automate the project

Data driven Frame work:
Here we divide the entire project in to modules and start automation by writing data driven
scripting for each one of them. We will have test data either in excel sheet or flat files or from database...we will pass that test data in to the script and perform data
driven testing.

Thanks,

benefits for framework:[/B] • allow highest possible reusability
• support different application versions
• should support different environments • self configurable
• easy to use and understand
• flexible [B]general types of framework:[/B]
• the test script modularity framework
• the test library architecture framework • the keyword driven testing framework

test script modularity frame work: [/B]
the test script modularity framework requires the creation of small, independent scripts that represent modules of the application-under-test. These small scripts are then used in a hierarchical fashion to construct larger tests, realizing a particular test case. [B]the test library architecture framework[/B]
the test library architecture framework is very similar to the test script modularity framework but it divides the application-under-test into procedures and functions instead of scripts. This framework requires the creation of library files that represent modules, sections, and functions of the application-under-test. These library files are then called directly from the test case script. [B]the keyword driven testing framework[/B]
keyword-driven testing framework requires the development of data tables and keywords, independent of the test automation tool used to execute them and the test script code that "drives" the application-under-test and the data. Keyword-driven tests look very similar to manual test cases. In a keyword-driven test, the functionality of the application-under-test is documented in a table as well as in step-by-step instructions for each test. It is an application independent automation framework. [B]the data driven testing framework[/B]
data-driven testing is a framework where test input and output values are read from data files (datapools, odbc sources, cvs files, excel files, dao objects, ado objects, and such) are loaded into variables in captured or manually coded scripts. In this framework, variables are used for both input values and output verification values. Navigation through the program, reading of the data files, and logging of test status and information are all coded in the test script. [B]the hybrid testing framework[/B]
hybrid frame work is combination of data driven framework and keyword driver framework

you need to know about automation tools framework too....:cool:

Usually in Manual there is no framework. We write test cases in Excel sheet. But for automation every company has its own framework. I.e. we write scripts and save them in a folder and for functions, recoveries, data, object repository for all these we use different folders.
