Using test automation frameworks
Good software testing doesn’t necessarily imply a high-quality and reliable system, but no testing will most likely result in a flawed application with bugs. Despite that, companies that adopt DevOps and CI/CD pipelines have a clear requirement for automated tests, and they cannot afford long manual testing cycles that clog up their pipeline (and delay the release process).
Test automation frameworks aid developers and testers with good practices, rules, and guidelines that they follow pragmatically to achieve automated testing in software development. These frameworks establish how to write automation test scripts and manage test datasets. Within software engineering, we have the following types of test automation frameworks:
- Linear scripting
- Modular testing
- Library architecture scripting
- Data-driven testing
- Keyword-driven testing
- Hybrid testing
- Behavior-driven development (BDD) testing
Each type of...
