Why we need Framework? What's the purpose of it? How to design framework? Is that required lot of coding knowledge?, etc. Let's consider a case. We have 100 test scenarios to automate. Each test scenario have around 100 test cases. Here you will do the following.... Design: 1. Create Test Scripts for each case by creating separate actions. 2. Each test case script i.e. each action will have associated resources. - Object Repository, Function Library and Recovery Scenario files. Execution: 1. You will have own driver script. 2. This will call each action one by one. Maintenance: 1. If any UI changes happened, you need to find the particular OR file to update the same. 2. You need to maintain lot of OR fi...
