Abstract

The test automation tools available in the present market is limited in various features, e.g., reporting, debugging, logging, usability, and portability, resulting in need of integration of these features to achieve automation objectives, e.g., positive ROI, stability, and efficiency. In this paper, we propose an innovative tool that proves as a panacea for many of test automation challenges discovered in worldwide surveys. In order to provide these challenging features in Web automation testing domain, an attempt has been made to create a tool called AutoJet. It is a Web automation testing tool that aims to provide a great extent of usability to both automation as well as manual testers. Using AutoJet, paradoxically a manual tester can automate test scenarios smoothly and profitably. Our study shows that it is possible for a manual tester to automate test scenarios effectively with reduced time span as it eliminates the efforts spent by the testers to understand existing test harness or to create a new one.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Test Harness is a test automation framework responsible for accepting test data, execute the test and validate results by comparing expected and the actual outcome.

  2. 2.

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2PJ7NNW.

  3. 3.

    Keyword Driven Framework performs test execution by applying actions on web elements based on keywords like click, input.

  4. 4.

    TestNG is an open source testing framework used in integration with selenium for automated test execution.

  5. 5.

    BDD is Behavior Driven Development used to write test cases in a more generalized form that enables tester, developer, manager and clients to have a common understanding.

  6. 6.

    Stakeholders are those people who are interested in the success of the project like Tester, Test Lead, Test Manager, Project Manager, Client.
