Test Automation World - Challenges & Open2Test

Impact area Challenges Open2Test feature

Business Time-to-Market, Reliability & Faster

ROI

Ready to use, Fail safe framework

Minimum of 40%-50% script creation

effort reduction

Expenses

Expensive to train and cross train

resources across tools

Standard set of English like keywords

across Tools & Technologies and thus

require minimal training

Expensive to change to another tool

of choice Open2Test is Tool & Techno agnostic

thereby compatible across tools and

technologies Expensive to rewrite automation

scripts if a change of tool or

technology is desired

Resources Ability to reuse resources across

test automation tools

Open2Test is independent of the Tools &

technology and thus enabling easy

deployment of resources across tools &

technologies

Technology Need for individual framework

creation for each of the product lines

Fail safe, well used and enterprise grade

framework which is application

independent too


Open2Test Framework - Evolution

First Generation

Capture/playback

only. This is ‘out of

the box’ automation

from any of the tools

available on the

market

Second

Generation Third Generation Fourth Generation Fifth Generation

Capture/playback

with scripting

provides increased

capability but at the

cost of increased

overhead

Scripting using a

window-centric

approach with

test data pooled

separately

Framework and

Scripting using a

window-centric

approach with

Ready to use

tool- agnostic

and techno-

agnostic, data

driven framework

with business

objects and test

data pooled

KEANE ENABLERS

• Rapid script development

• Decrease in maintenance effort

O2T Building Blocks

CONCEPT Components

Action Function Keyword Component

UI Elements

Framework code developed for technology (web .NET, Java) & for tool (QTP, Test Partner)

Frameworks developed keeping keyword naming conventions intact

Guidelines developed to seamlessly integrate multiple frameworks

Easy to extend – add User defined keywords without developer coding

Open2Test Framework Features

Test data management

• Identify and baseline

test data

• Data mining as a part

of pre-conditions

3rd party UI Controls

• Increase in complexity

(e.g. Infragistics, Flex)

• Sound technical skills

Change Management

• Changes in flows triggers rework

• Solution should support Descriptive programming

End to End Testing

• All applications are interconnected

• Multiple technologies (.NET, Web, Java)

Solution Portability

• Change in application platform or testing tool makes scripts obsolete

Reusability

• Solutions with limited reusability requires more development and maintenance efforts

Key Challenges

• Open2Test can read data from

•flat files (.xls),

•DB

• Dynamic generated data can be captured using variables

• Open2Test can be easily customized (new Keywords)

• Guidelines to customize is available

• Open2Test scripts are easy to maintain

• Scripting supports both Object Repository mode and descriptive programming approach (table objects)

• Frameworks for multiple platforms can be easily integrated

• Innovez has built frameworks for all leading technologies

• Standardized finite set of keywords

• Tool independent keyword terminology

• Frameworks built across multiple tools

• Keyword driven approach increases reusability

• Allows users to build reusable business components.


Open2Test Differentiators

Uniqueness Description

Tool-agnostic Test Scripts created by using Open2Test are reusable across various popular test automation

tools, thereby enabling the customers/users to switch from one automation tool to another.

Techno-agnostic Test Scripts created by using Open2Test are reusable across various popular development

technologies, thereby giving the customers/users a flexibility to migrate their application from

one technology to another, like windows to web, with a good reusability of their existing

Open2Test keyword test scripts.

Open source As thought leader is the industry, NTT Keane has released its innovation ‘Open2Test’ as a open

source which enables customers to get a global solution and also free from any IP rights.

Easy to use Open2Test enables even the business users to take part in the Test Automation activities.

Therefore there can be more focus on testing than building a framework.

Easy maintenance Single Framework code enables easy maintenance

Support Consists of 400 keywords and supports 120+ objects covering all available popular controls that

are used in the applications

Why Open2Test Designer

• It is expensive to automate test cases

• It takes a lot of time to automate test cases

• There are too many test cases that need to be automated

• Open2Test Designer is a new approach to creating test automation. It leverages meta-data to learn and adapt to each customer context and automatically create test cases and scenarios


Open2Test Designer - Snapshot Open2Test Designer - Snapshot
