16. Steps to Create the Automation suite using Framework Step 1: Create a Folder for your Automation Suite (Ex. Support_Request) Step 2: Record the Flow which you need to automate and Save the Flow Script Step 3: Save the Local Object Repository as Shared Obj. Repository in the Folder (Automation Suite Folder) Step 4: Use the “Data Generator” to Convert your Flow into Datasheet and save the same In the automation Folder Step 5: Save a Result Sheet Template
So, this is what automation really means for software testing.
Instructor notes: Automating tests by using only a capture tool such Quick Test Professional to record and play back test cases has its drawbacks. When you use only a capture tool, it is very time consuming and expensive when running complex and powerful tests. These tests are created ad hoc and hence any changes in the functionality or UI can be difficult to track and reproduce, and therefore can be costly to maintain. A better choice for an Automated Testing Team that is just getting started might be to use a Test Automation Framework. This abstract gives a brief description about a modular framework, which helps in designing scripts independent of the application.
