UFT Automation Framework Introduction

  UFT Automation Framework By HimalBandara
• 2.
  Preface  While thereare several frameworks that provide support for automated software testing using HP UFT, this document introduces one particularly effective type.
• 3.
  Objective  To createa framework which supports test automation work done by UFT in QA environment by working as a tool chain.  considerations :  UFT tool will be integrated and used with HP ALM.  UFT Project solution, resources and test cases are stored in ALM.  ALM is used as the version control repository for both test cases and test scripts.  ALM test cases will include both UFT test scripts and other test cases related details.

  Framework Architecture
• 5.
  Features  1. FolderHierarchy
• 6.
  2. Config  ConfigFile which use to store the Test Environment Data .In this configuration file is xml file which include system url , browser type, test data path etc.
• 7.
  Function Library  Containsnecessary functions that needs to create and execute the test cases  This Framework has two main components  Generic function library  Application specific function library
• 8.
  Generic function library Generic Function library is .vbs or .qfl file which include application independent common scenarios like (“Reading and writing excel data , logging functionality ”)
• 9.
  Application specific functionlibrary  Generic Function library is .vbs or .qfl file which include application dependent common scenarios and module like (login module , Add Course module)
• 10.
  Logging  Logs arecaptured as a text file and stored in a windows location  Logs can be enabled in ALM at the execution time
• 11.
  Object Repository  Objectrepository is a collection of objects and properties  Shared object repository is maintained(.tsr)
• 12.
  Recovery Scenarios  Inorder to recover the test and continue execution  Can be crucial feature for large tests  This framework has two recovery scenarios  Webelement is not visible  Webelement doesn’t exist
• 13.
  Test data  Externaltest data is given as inputs to the test scripts to perform the same operations on the application using different set of data  The best practice here is to keep the data sheet in a common place, preferably in the test management tool.
• 14.
  Advantages  Increase thequality  Reusability  Better utilization of tools  Maintenance  Minimum effort  High ROI
• 15.
  Limitations  Property files(.txtor .properties) can’t be stored in ALM as it only supports XML and MS Office documents  It is a must to have the browser extension installed and enabled to execute a test in a particular web browser  Learning resources are rare in certain areas (e.g- recovery scenarios)
• 16.
  Learnings And NextSte  Support for descriptive programming  Customize test reports  Make the generic function library more comprehensive by adding more generic methods  Mobile, API testing support
