Framework Folder Structure: -

Auto Frame: - It is a parent folder and it is a framework name. It contains bellow sub folders.

Documents, Data Library, Test Script, Function Library, Environment Variables, Logs, OR, Recovery

Documents: - It is used to maintain project related documents like Requirements, test cases, Automation Feasibility, Test Plan…etc.

Data Library: - This folders is used to maintaining files like .xls and Notepad

Ex: - àRun manager.xls

à Test Case related data.xls

àQueries in Notepad

Runmanager.xls: - It contains all test scripts with execution status YES/ NO.

Test Scripts: - In this folder we maintain automation test scripts

Functional Library: - It is used to maintain common functions and business functions

Common Function: - Function which are related to Framework

Business Framework: - Function which are related to Test Cases (AUT).

Environment Variable: - To maintain External Environment files (.xml)

Logs: - It is used to analyze and store test results

à During execution of test scripts, framework is creating a runtime[with system date time as name] folder and

creates Excel Reports, HTML Reports, Performance Reports, Screen Shots folders in Runtime folders.

o Excel reports: - This folder is used to save and analyze results in Excel

o HTML reports: - This folder is used to save and analyze results in HTML

o Performance reports: - This folder is used to save and analyze test script performance

o Screen shots: - This is used to save and analyze screen for failed test scripts

OR: - It is used to maintain shared object file

InitScript.vbs: - It is initialize vbs files, if we execute it.

à It does below

o It lunches QTP with require ADD-Ins

o Open driver script and executes

o Close QTP after executing test scripts

Driver Scripts File: - To open and execute the required scripts selecting from excel

Types of Framework: -

1. Linear Framework

2. Data Driven Framework

3. Keyword Driven Framework

4. Modular Driven framework

5. Hybrid Framework

Linear Framework: - In this framework we design and maintain the scripts independently. We are not designing test scripts without reusability.

Data Driven Framework: - Maintaining the test scripts to execute with multiple Test Data.

Keyword Driven Framework: - Implementing scripts reusability by using Functions.

Modular Driven Framework: - Implementing scripts reusability by using Actions.

Hybrid Framework: - Combination of one or more framework.

Generally we use hybrid with Data Driven and Key Word Driven Frameworks

Thanks,

Dinesh Kumar.
