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.
