ABSTRACT
Regression testing is very important for the delivery of high quality product. It helps to simulate a suite of
critical test cases periodically and helps to identify if introduction of any new features or any source code
change has adversely affected the software quality or functionality. As a result, regression testing cannot be
ignored from the software testing life cycle (STLC). But just doing a regression testing cannot be beneficial
until it is accompanied by automation testing. Automated regression suite not only saves time and cost by
re-running test scripts again and again but it also provide the confidence that all the critical test cases has
been covered, providing more confidence in the quality of the product and increasing the ability to meet
schedules. IT has an ability to explore the whole software every day without requiring much of manual
effort. Current software is going through continuous development which requires testing again and again
to check if new feature implementation has affected the existing functionality. In addition to this, it is facing
issue in validation of the installation at client site and requires availability of testers to check the critical
functionality of the software manually. This paper came up with the solution of creating automated
regression suite for the software. The current research will provide guidelines to the future researchers on
how to create an automated regression suite for any web application using open source tools.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Company was founded in 2002 and is a leading healthcare software consultancy offering real
knowledge and experience of the medical field to shape solutions for diverse industry
requirements. It creates software solutions for health monitoring environments. This company
specialize in systems across 3 markets:
 Rehabilitation
 Community Health
 Occupational Health
The Company is currently developing an Occupational Health Management Solution (OHMS), a
cloud-based occupational health platform designed to help organizations proactively manage
employee health monitoring, pre-employment and wellbeing activities. This solution is built
around Electronic Health Record (EHR). An EHR is a person-centric dataset which provides a
360 degree view of an individual’s health and well-being, as well as relevant clinical episode of
care. It has an ability to capture and manage information such as patient demographics, progress
notes, medications, past medical history, immunizations and laboratory tests. OHMS is going
through continuous development to meet the requirements of multiple clients and therefore

2
requires testing of software again and again to check if new feature implementation has affected
the existing functionality of the software. Currently to confirm that OHMS has been installed
correctly at client site, tester are send to client’s premises and test the critical functionality of the
software manually. Both these activities need lot of time and manual efforts and therefore this
paper has tried to suggest creation of automated regression suite for OHMS. This suite can be
executed at client site for checking the functionality of the software. In addition to this, this suite
will also help the testing team to validate if the new features which have been added to the
existing software are affecting the existing system or not.
The scope of this project is to create automated regression test suite. This research project report
is organized as follow: Section 2 focuses on the literature review of various studies concentrating
on automation regression. Section 3 is focused on the research methodology for this research
project. Section 4 of this research is focused on project execution results. Discussion to results of
this project is provided in section 5. Section 6 is dedicated
towards the future work recommendations. Finally, in section 7 conclusions to the research is
provided.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
A thorough study of different research paper has been done before implementing any
methodology or technique for this project. Regression testing has a capability to detect the bugs
caused by software enhancement or bug fix [1]. Evidences regarding advantage of implementing
automation testing which includes saving time by re-running test scripts again and again,
providing more confidence in the quality of the product, increasing the ability to meet schedules
and significantly reducing the manual efforts of the testers are provided on the basis of survey of
115 software professionals [2]. In addition to this, automated regression suite has an ability to
explore the whole software every day without requiring much of manual effort. Also, bug
identification is easier after the incorrect changes have been made [3].
Selenium is one of the most popular open source tools for web based testing and supports all
prominent browsers and operating systems. It supports automation of dynamic web pages where
web elements changes without the page being reloaded [4]. The selection of selenium Webdriver
can be further supported by highlighting the easiness of test suite maintenance using selenium
Webdriver [9]. Creation of automation framework for web application with “Selenium Webdriver
could reduce time for development, increase the return on investments (ROI) and minimize the
risk” (Elior, 2017).
Visual studio (VS) is a fully-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for Android,
iOS, Windows, web, and cloud which is freely available. It supports GitHub. Its functionality and
features can be extended through plug-ins. Number of extensions can be found in the Visual
Studio Gallery for VS [6]. Trello is a free cloud-based project management tool which gives an
overview of what is being worked on and who is working on a particular task. It helps project
leaders in managing large projects, planning programs, and coordinating teams [7].
Scrum methodology is ideal for the software where client requirements are rapidly changing. It
emphasis on incremental development effort which allows early delivery of a portion of the
solution without the entire solution to be 100% complete and hence helps to gain client
confidence over the team. Work estimates are much easier under this methodology [8].
Most of these research papers are confined to the usage of JAVA as the programming language in
their projects, whereas, a large portion of companies in New Zealand still uses C# as a

3
programming language in their coding. This report has explained how automation can be
achieved using C# with selenium Webdriver. In addition, this paper has explained how the
combination of selenium Webdriver with Visual Studio can help any organization to achieve
regression automation.
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology for OHMS Project has been discussed below.
4.1 Proposed Architecture for the project
Proposed architecture for OHMS Project is shown in Figure 1. The whole suite has been divided
into three folder structure. The first folder named as Initial Execution is having a main class in it.
This main class will initialize the scripts for execution. Second folder named as Task Execution
has a Base class inside it which again have two abstract methods namely up and down methods
for creating and deleting entries respectively and the third folder named as Test Scripts have all
the scripts which contain the web elements and the actions which are getting performed on the
OHMS.
Main class calls “Browser start” class, which helps to initialize the Webdriver and later return the
initialized Webdriver to the main class. Classes defined under Test Scripts folder inherit and
implement the base class. Once these two actions are complete, main class start calling test
script’s classes one by one, to perform the actions on the OHMS and displays the results in the
console for each action.

3.2 Project Execution
3.2.1 Testing Phases for Project
Automation testing phase which has been implemented by OHMS project is shown in figure 2. It
shows the different phases involved in the whole testing process along with the different activities
which have been performed in each stage. This project has 6 phases. In first phases requirements
are gathered from the client and a technical analysis of those requirements is done. In this
Company, it needs the involvement of Business Analyst (BA) and product owner (PO) for the
accomplishment of this task. Second phase involves test planning including creation of test
strategy and test plan documents. PO will help the scrum team in identifying the user stories and
will also prioritize the user stories which need to be covered in each sprint. In Third phase
environment is set up. During this phase, Visual Studio has been installed in the local machine,
Selenium Webdriver related jar files and libraries has been imported and Visual SVN is installed
which helped the team to commit the updated code to the central repository. Once the setup was
ready, team starts designing test scripts on the basis of Acceptance criteria mentioned on the user
stories. Traceability matrix is used to make sure that all the requirements have been covered by
the test scripts. In the execution phase, test scripts are executed and once they are passed they are
committed to the central repository. The last phase was the test result analysis phase where the
complete code and the output was reviewed by the scrum team, and team members would suggest
areas of improvement.

3.2.2 Test Cases
Test cases are the set of steps and conditions which helps to determine whether application
under test works correctly and meets the requirements. Some of the test cases which have been
created for OHMS are shown in Table 1. This table explains what each test case is supposed to
do, pre-requisites which need to be fulfilled, detailed steps which need to be followed to achieve
the expected result. Test cases are helpful in ensuring that all the requirements have been covered
and creates a layout for the automation scripts.

3.2.3 Traceability Matrix
Traceability matrix is a critical part of testing as it ensures that the product delivered to the client
is meeting all the stated requirements. Traceability matrix shows the mapping of the requirements
with the test cases and ensures that all the critical requirements of the application have been
covered by the test cases. It is a way to tie all the testing artifacts together from the starting to the
end to ensure that the end product align with the goals and objectives of the project. The matrix in
Table 2. shows the number of test cases which has been created in order to give full test coverage
to the particular requirement.
One great benefit of this matrix is the ability to access the impact of any requirement change.
When the requirement changes midway during the development of the software, this matrix helps
the tester to track the number of test cases which has been affected by that particular requirement
change.

3.2.4 Solution Structure for OHMS Project
Complete structure in which OHMS automation scripts have been managed inside Visual Studio
is shown in Figure 3. All the test scripts are categorised on the basis of the type of action they are
performing. The structure consists of three folders namely: Initialize Execution, Task Manager
and Test Scripts. There is a separate section named as “Dependencies” which consist of all the
selenium libraries and packages which have been installed in visual studio for carrying out the
automation.
 Initialize Execution: It has the main class which helps to initialize the web driver by
passing URL and credentials to Browser Start class.
 Task Manager: It has the base class which consists of two methods namely : Up method
( for the creation of data) and Down method ( for the deletion of created data). It need to
be implemented by all the classes of “Test Script” folder.

11
 Test Scripts: This folder have the test scripts, which contains web elements, their xpath,
selenium and C# commands for carrying out the execution on the OHMS.
Figure 3. Solution structure for OHMS Project
a) Task Manager Folder
This folder contains the Base class which has two abstract methods namely Up and Down
under it. This base class is inherited, and methods are implemented by the classes of
“Test Scripts” folder. Up method is used to create new entries in the OHMS and down
method is used to delete the same entries at later stage.
Figure 4. Task Manager

12
b) Initialize Execution folder
This folder contains the main class. This main class is the starting point of the execution and
calls all other classes for performing different tasks. The first action performed by the main
class is to pass driver name to the “browser start” class. Depending upon the passed
parameter, “browser start” class will initialize the driver of the same browser and later will
return the initialized driver back to the main class. Main class with the help of that driver will
navigate to OHMS official site and later will call other test scripts to perform next actions.
The code which has been used to create main class is shown in Figure 5.

13
Figure 5. Main class
c) Test Scripts Folder
This folder contains the test scripts which consist of all the web elements, their xpaths and the
actions which are need to be performed on the OHMS. Each class under “Test Scripts” folder
is named as per the task they are performing. Below is the brief explanation about the
functionality of each script:

14
 Brower Start: Script to initialize the browser and to navigate to OHMS website.
 Authenticate: Script which will help the user to get logged-In to the OHMS and later to
get logged-Out.
 Creating Program Manager for Home Company: Script to create a person for the
home company and later to delete this person from the system.
 Assigning Program Manager Role to Home Company person: Script to assign
Program Manager Role to the newly created person and to generate credentials and later
to revoke the assigned role from the same person.
 Creating Nurse for Home Company: Script to create a Nurse for the home company
and later to delete the nurse from the system.
 Assigning Provider Role to Home Company Nurse: Script to assign Provider role to
the newly created nurse and to generate credentials and later to revoke the assigned role
from the same person.
 Creating Client Company: Script to create client company.
 Creating Client Company Sites: Script to create sites for client company and later to
remove these sites from the client company.
 Creating Client Company Divisions: Script to create divisions for client company and
later to remove these divisions from the client company.
 Creating People for Client Company: Script to create employees,client admin and
company manager for the client company and later to remove these people from the client
company.
 Assigning Roles to Client Company people: Script to assign admin role and company
manager role to the concerned people and later to revoke the assigned role from the same
people.
d) Selected Tool
Below are few of the code snippets which have been created for OHMS using C# and selenium
Webdriver. Appendices can be referred for the code snippets of all scripts.
Start browser class: It has implemented the three major drivers namely: Chrome, Firefox and IE.
Depending on the user requirement, user passes a driver name from the main class. Once the
driver name gets passed, the driver gets automatically initialized in the “Start Browser”. After
initializing the driver, “Start Browser” returns the driver to the main class and now main class use
this driver to execute the actions on the OHMS. The complete code for this class can be seen in
Figure 6.

15
Figure 6. Start Browser Class
Authenticate Class: The test scripts which is created for the login credentials and then for logout
is shown in Figure 7. The main class calls this authenticates class and at the same time passes the
driver and the login credentials to this class. This class receives the parameters and at the same
time inherited Base class so that it can implement the up and down methods. In up methods, the
script is trying to login to the OHMS using valid login credentials and once all the entries are
made, it finally logout from the OHMS using down method.
Figure 7. Authenticate class

4. RESULTS
The results of the test scripts execution are shown in Figure 8. The snippet shows what all test
scripts has been executed along with their execution result. The first half of the results have
covered the scenarios related to login as an Admin in the OHMS, creating PM followed by
creation of the client company and employees for that company and then assigning different roles
to these people according to their profile.
The second half of the result is about revoking the different roles assigned to the people, deleting
the created entries and finally getting logged-Out from the OHMS. Deletion of these entries was
critical for this project as Company had limited database storage. And also, earlier these entries
were getting deleted manually by the database admin which was again a time consuming activity.
Hence by automating the deletion process, testing team has saved a lot of effort and time.

5. DISCUSSION
This paper main focus was to create automation test scripts for OHMS based on the client
requirements and later to create a suite which will be used for regression testing later. Creation of
automation regression suit is accomplished by using Visual studio and selenium Webdriver with
C# programming language.
The major issue Company was facing was the amount of manual efforts which were used to test
the whole application manually again and again whenever a change is introduced to the
application. These midway changes were getting introduces because of various reasons which
includes change in client requirement, defect fix or feature enhancements. Another bug challenge
for the company was the need of physically going to client location to validate the correct
installation of OHMS in client premises. Research papers and the requirements of this project
helped to determine the need of going for regression automation testing. Moreover, budget
constraint for OHMS suggested the team to go for the open source tools. These are not only free
but also have a huge community support.
Due to involvement of diverse clients, the company was not having a clear definition of the
requirements therefore it was practically impossible to make an estimation of the time and costs
that would be involved in this project. As a result, this paper suggested adopting scrum
methodology. It is flexible and adaptable in nature. In addition to this, Client feel more involved
as they have the option to see a project’s progress throughout its lifespan—not, giving them an
opportunity to collaborate and watch the project move from start to finish. In addition to this there
are many research papers which support the use of Scrum methodology for a successful delivery
of a product.
There were few issues which were faced during this research. One of them was having limited
amount of database for OHMS. As a result, it was important to delete the data whenever a new
entry is made in OHMS. Another issue was the data which was getting entered into the
application was getting linked to the other database following primary-foreign key concept.
Hence it was impossible to delete the primary keys without first deleting the linked foreign keys.
To resolve the above mentioned issues, this paper suggested the idea of creating a deleting
mechanism as well for the scripts. So, for every entry which has been made in the application
there was a connected delete mechanism and hence the need of up and down method came into
the picture.
One more issue which was found during the research was related to the web elements. Web
elements are the critical part for any web automation testing. These are the interactive elements
on which the action is actually performed. There were few web elements available in the
application that were not assigned unique id or name and were changing the values dynamically
which made their detection quite difficult. To overcome this problem, it was decided that testing
team need to make a list of all these types of web elements and need to ask developers to assign
unique ids. In places where giving unique ids were not possible, relative Xpath have been used.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of the issues which were faced during this research, below are the few
recommendations:
 Introducing automation testing in the early phase of software development is not advised.
Automation tested should only be approached once the critical functionalities or features
of the application have been stable and freezed. OHMS is still in its early development

18
phase and new features are still getting added to this application. Continuous change in
these critical functionalities will require rework in the automation scripts, affecting the
time and effort of the testers.
 Before going for the automation testing, product should be thoroughly tested manually.
At time absence of manual testing or investing less time in manual testing adversely
affect the time required for automation testing. The same issue was faced while
automating OHMS. Many a time while creating scripts, there were few critical bugs
which were found. As a result, creating scripts for those particular functionalities was
getting on hold until the issue is fixed hence impacting the time frame which has been
assigned for automation.
 It is also recommended to use framework like TestNG for easy maintenance of test
scripts and for reporting purpose. Currently console output has been used to reflect the
test script execution results. TestNG is very helpful for unit testing, it upholds parallel
testing and group testing, and gives a user-friendly reporting experience.
 It is also recommended to use defect reporting and tracking tool. A bug tracking tool not
only helps in reporting and tracking of bugs but also ensures that the flaws are removed
and bugs are fixed. It helps the testing team to recognize the repetitive issues and come
up with a permanent solution. Since bug tracking software helps to segregate high and
low priority issues, development team can focus on the high priority stuff, instead of
wasting time on the minor issues.
7. CONCLUSION
This paper focuses on creation of automated regression suite for OHMS using open source tools.
This paper have tried to help the company in overcoming its two main problems which include
too much of manual efforts in the execution of same test cases again and again and the time and
cost required to validate the correct installation of the software in client premises. The frequency
of OHMS builds to meet frequently changed requirements mean that certain tests must be run
over and over again to ensure that changes to software applications have not impacted the
integrity of OHMS. Automated Regression suite will verify that existing software performs
correctly even after it has been updated. By creating automation regression suite, now team can
validate if the application is working fine with just one click and can execute the suite as many
time as needed to check the critical functionality of the application. It also helped the team to
ensure if any major or minor changes which has been made at later stages due to client
requirement has impacted the critical functionality of the application. This report has also
highlighted few issues which have been faced during the testing and the alternatives taken by the
team to tackle these bottlenecks. For issues related to the database constraints, testing team came
up with the idea of creating deleting mechanism, which would run automatically once all the
entries have been created. The current research will provide guidelines to the future researchers
on how to create an automated regression suite for any web application with the help of open
source tools namely Visual Studio, Selenium Web driver and Trello.
