The document discusses hybrid test automation frameworks. A hybrid framework combines aspects of data-driven and keyword-driven frameworks to eliminate their individual disadvantages. It allows testers to write tests using keywords without coding, while supporting bulk data changes and flexible execution like data-driven frameworks. The document proposes a sample hybrid framework where test data, page objects, and keywords are defined in an Excel file, eliminating the need for code. This provides reusability, maintainability and a low learning curve while maintaining flexibility.

- 3. Data Driven Test Framework 1 © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected] Existing Framework In now a days industries using Data Driven frame works It’s also requires script writing experience using IDE(Eclipse or some other). Using this frame work Automation Engineers can write and run robust data driven test suite. Learning Curve is higher
- 4. © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected] Data-Driven Frameworks A data-driven framework is where test input and output values are read from data files (ODBC sources, CVS files, Excel files, DAO objects, ADO objects, and such) and are loaded into variables in captured or manually coded scripts. Data Driven frameworks Mainly Contains Below Packages • Data Objects • Execution Class • Page Objects • Helper Class
- 5. In coming slides describes to what extend QA Engineer requires coding ability when writes an Execution Class/ Data Objects, etc.. © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 6. Data Provider Class Data Loaded from Excel File Data Passed to the Execution class © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 7. Keyword Driven Framework Script Writers can use built in frame work which supports to Keywords. Therefor no coding ability requires when writing automation test suite. Not supporting bulk data Changes using Excel, CSV or XML Easier to understand and scripting Not supporting to new functional changes (JavaScript Executions) Flexibility is lower With current functional tests(Various Data Levels) less popular in the industry. © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 8. Why do we need Hybrid Automation framework? 2© Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 9. © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected] Data Driven Frame Work + Key Word Driven Frame Work What is Hybrid Frame Work Able to gain advantages of both frame works by eliminating disadvantages
- 10. Sample Test Case Runner that will drive our Hybrid test is shown below. Once you built the Framework, No need of coding, just Excel Anyone can Automate Data Set( From Where data is loaded) Page Objects Keywords(Actions) Data validation Column names from Data Set Locators can be ID/XPATH/NAMELocator Type © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 11. Disadvantages of Data Driven Framework • Tester should be conversant in programming language • Learning curve is high • More time consuming Disadvantages of Keyword Driven Framework • Less flexibility • Not supporting for java script executions/code injections • Less data driven support • Highly depending on the developed framework • When AE’s going to change the framework its highly time consuming and less supporting © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 12. Advantages of Hybrid Framework • No Code level Work (Execution class writes on Excel) • High level of reusability (All the data objects’ Page Objects maintained in Excel file) • High level of maintainability(Use of Data Driven Framework) • Minimal learning curve for the end user(New Comers can learn quickly) • Higher flexibility(Finally Selenium runs in back end) • Easier to understand(Not in IDE just Excel file) © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
- 13. Further Obstacles and Investigations.. • Report generations • Use of Jenkins • Execution of multiple test cases • Implementing custom listeners • Different browser per page • Loading more properties © Ganuka Yashantha | [email protected]
