Automation Framework is nothing but the way we r doing
automation is represented in a systematic way with proper
planning like Initial Setup(setting up shared
repository..), Tool configuration,Test Data files,library
files,Script
generation,Enhancements,Synchronisation,Exception
handling,Batch test,maintaning the scripts....all whichever
related to our automation plan.


Thank& Regards

Hi

Automation Framework is just nothing but similar to our TestPlan.

Thanks

Hi phanindranath,

TestPlan is goals and objectives of testing within the scope of the iteration (or project), the items being targeted, the approach to be taken, the resources required and the deliverables to be produced.

framework is regarding your file storage structure,reusable design,Assemble Script,Driver Script,future maintenance and lot more. as per the TestPaln we need to develope the fram work .

TestPlan and Framework and not similar.


Thanks

Hi Phanindra,

TestPlan and Framework are not similar

TestPlan is regarding the scope of the Project,targeted items in the project, infrastructure i.e test machines and test Envorinment ,available Resouce, Techinical Requirement of the Resource and time frame.

and Framework is

Reusable design
Assemble Script design
Driver Script
File Format to Pass Data
Result Storage.
Version control.
etc

Thanks

It is some procedure/way/design to ease all the automation difficulties.

It is nothing but hierarchiacla representation of the files in a structure
1.Main Script
2.Library Function
3.Test Data
4.Reports
All maintained in a separate folder and linked together

Frame Work is the model or structure we follow for a
Project. It is the approach that we follow to automate the
Project. There are so many types of framework in QTP.

1. Datadriven frame work
2. Keyword driven frame work
3. Module driven framework
4. Hybrid driven frame work

The framework you choose, depends on the model of your
Project. Usually most of projects fall under hybrid driven
frame work.

Datadriven framework: 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.

Keyword driven framework:
Firstly we should add the objects to repository( Shared
repository is preferable)
Then we can generate/write scripts for each functionality
and save them as the library files ( .vbs files)
Then we have to associate all these library files(which are
generated to test different funtionalities) to Quick Test.

Module driven frame work: we will divide entire project in
to modules and write functions or procedures for each and
every module and automate the project.
Hybrid driven framework: it is combination of Datadriven
and module driven framework.

Automation Framework is Executing set of Test Scripts without any human intervation during test script execution.
For example QTP opens the Test script by itself Executes it takes the sanp shots of defect(if any) save the results in user specified location and then starts executing next test script in queue. All will happen automatically by the framework code without any human intervention.

Thanks,
