Question

Can someone help me with the good practices one should follow to have a smooth test automation framework? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The features of a good test framework can be listed as follows:-

• Flexible in the programming language supported.
• Support a wide range of keywords and actions.
• Provision data sources for input, this makes taking input from different source easy.
• Should allow multiple creation and manipulation of test cases.
• Define priority for test case
• Should provide both Manual and automated execution
• Keep track of test results.
• Report creation and the readability.
• CI tool integration eg. Jenkins
• Cross-browser and cross-platform support is mandatory for the coverage of multiple platforms.

These are the few important behaviour of a good testing framework.
