Open2Test_Selenium

Open2Test_Selenium is Keyword driven Framework - supporting Continuous Integration using Gradle and Jenkins

Synopsis:

Open2Test framework is open source framework developed by Open source team of NTTDATA INC. This is framework developed for automation testing using Selenium. Aim of Open2Test framework is to provide easy way to approach automation testing. Keyword based solution formed on the premise that makes any application to be described using short text description or keywords.

Keywords

Appendix

Salient Features of Keyword Driven Testing

Natural language: -

Keywords can be defined in natural language meaning that, test cases can be written with more or less detail, depending on the project's needs.

Not require technical understanding:-

Testers working at the business level do not require technical understanding of the test automation framework to be able to create and edit test cases

Maintenance:-

Sensitivity to changes (which can create the need for maintenance effort) is reduced. Maintenance of test cases for business reasons will not affect the implementation of the Keyword scripts, as long as the set of keywords and the semantics of the keywords are not changed.

Portability:-

Portability of test suites is easier to achieve, (e.g. if a similar system with almost the same business cases has to be tested then many of the keywords can be reused).

Early Start:-

Automated functional tests can be implemented before the test item actually exists, either by sing existing keyword libraries with their corresponding automation scripts, or by defining new keywords and adding the automation scripts later as the test interface is defined.

Efforts:-

A limited set of keywords implies a limited effort for implementing test automation, (e.g. usually, one automated keyword script for each keyword will be sufficient).

Layers in Keyword-Driven Testing:

Keyword-Driven Testing can be organized by using one or more layers. Typical layers are

End user domain layer

Test interface layer.

While many implementations of Keyword-Driven Testing will comprise two or three abstraction layers, in some cases it may be necessary to structure keywords in more layers.

Abstract layer:

The topmost layer is the most abstract layer which is generally aligned with the wording of the application's users. In practice, the topmost layer is usually the domain layer. However, in some situations the domain layer may not be required, and another, more abstract layer is used (e.g. if the test cases are supposed to span several different end user domains, a Meta domain layer can be introduced).

Detailed layer:

The lowest layer is the most detailed layer. It is commonly aligned with the names of test interface elements
in practice, this layer is usually, but not always, the test interface layer (e.g. asSometimes a test interface layer is not required, or for specific reasons, even more detailed layers may be used).
Most Keyword-Driven Test systems will have more than one layer due to factors such as having understandable keyword test cases, maintainability and division of work relying on a multi-layer structure. If only one layer is implemented, it will commonly be either at a low level, which affects the readability of the keyword test cases, or at a high level, which can result in more keyword execution code.

Types of keywords

Simple keywords

Simple keywords, which are often used at the test interface layer (e.g. "MenuSelect" or "PressButton"), can be the connection between the test execution tool and higher level keywords at an intermediate layer or domain layer. Using only keywords at the test interface layer can be sufficient for the definition of test cases and their execution. Exclusive use of simple keywords will lead to test cases with many actions. Depending on the test item, keywords at the test interface layer could need to interact with different systems such as databases, the system registry or SOA-Messages. In a similar way, the automation framework will support access to the test interface or other interfaces on which the keyword operates (e.g. mouse, keyboard, and touch screen).

Composite keywords

Simple keywords are sufficient to compose and execute test cases but are often insufficient to reflect functional features. Composite keywords are keywords composed from other keywords. This means that keywords can be organized in different layers (see 5.2). For composite keywords, composite parameters (e.g. a data structure) can be required. It is often useful to use business-level keywords, such as “login user“. This keyword may be composed of a sequence of lower level keywords, such as “enter username“, “enter password“ and "push login-button“. For more complex business objects, such as large forms for the preparation of contracts, a keyword like “filloutContractformPage1” can be valuable. A composite keyword is a ‘package’ containing a sequence of other keywords. The set of parameters for a composite keyword can be the union of the set of parameters of the keywords that comprise the composite keyword; sometimes however, the implementer of a composite keyword may choose to ‘hide’ one or more parameters by assigning it a literal value within the composite.

Navigation/interaction (input) and verification (output)

Keywords may be classified into at least two categories:

Navigation steps (i.e. input to the test item) and

Verification steps (i.e. output from test item).

Most keywords belong to the first category, (i.e. the navigation steps) because most actions are needed to prepare the test item or perform certain actions on it which will lead to a result. Navigation steps usually are steps that do not verify and log the test result.

The result is then checked by one or more other actions i.e. the verification steps.

The verification steps are related to the result of the test case. For example, if the condition of a verification step is not met, then the test result will be set to "failed".

It may be useful to allow navigation steps to be used for verification.

Keyword Driven Framework

Keywords and Data

Keyword-Driven Testing can be enhanced if keywords are associated with data. To allow an association with data, in many cases keywords will need to have parameters which may be fixed, or list driven. Most keywords will need to have at least one parameter to specify the object they apply to. Some will need another parameter to specify input, (e.g., true/false, a string to type, an option to select in a combo box). This input will generally depend on the type of control and the type of action.
