Recently some one asked me that what is test framework designing? is it same as test design?
So here I would like to clear that both are separate entities. If you are working in automation project we design/create a test automation framework or work with an existing framework. Designing framework mean designing the process which execute your automation test mean we create a system in which we automate our test cases.
while test design covers that how any particular function or feature will be tested, what will the step to test, what data will be required, where to executed and when ect. this may include a test plan , test cases... Test designing is something we plan for a test execution whether its manually or using automation. Now once we decide that we will go by automation then some skills people need for this automation framework designing.
The test design details how the particular functions and features of our application will be tested. It will tell us what to do, how and when to do it, what data to use as input, and what results we expect to find.
ReplyDeleteand automation framework design means . how to flow of your framework like used function library,Environment variable,Test result and How many machines will be used for automated test execution like Error handling
How the results are reported and analyzed.
