Many tend to question the requirement of a Test Automation framework in QA. It can be best explained with this simple example. When we conduct a seminar or campaign, there are several pre-event plans that go into the successful execution of the event. These pre-event plans define the step-wise process of the itinerary, which is strictly followed by everyone associated with the event to ensure that no part of the program is missed. This explains how important it is to have a framework in place before an event. Similarly, choosing the right Test Automation framework is essential for test results and QA frameworks of businesses.
Our automation frameworks help in simplifying the test development and execution activities. Our team uses specialized tools that ease the everyday Test Automation tasks. Tools like test runner, web testing tool, or an action recording tool are used to reduce the hard work that goes into building test scripts and leave you more time to do quality checks.
Our Test Automation framework services include a set of guidelines like test-data handling, coding standards, object repository treatment, and the right tool and processes that are followed to improve the software development process during automated testing of any application.
Our Test Automation services enable rapid deployment of automation frameworks and scripts for accelerated testing and a significant reduction in time to market.
