Customer Challenge
- Customer wanted to verify the functionalities of various applications/BIOS /Windows driver/performance testing/stress testing etc. in laptops/desktops.
- Test plans available for manual testing across various devices was time consuming.
- Execution of test cases in di_erent OS versions for each release was di_cult and often did not meet the release schedule.
Scope
Proposed to create a Test Automation Framework that could
- Execute different types of test cases in various machines simultaneously.
- Include reusable components which can be used in other modules.
- Configure various types of test machines
- Efficiently undertake exception handling.
- Integrate to test automation scripts easily
Solution
- Developed a validation automation suite with a vision of comprehensive automation strategy
- Provided a Test Manager component which execute/schedule test jobs to run whenever the test resource or Unit Under Test (UUT) is available
- Created a Test Center which can distribute test jobs to the Test Managers in different test sites.
- Built a common library module which enhances the reusability perspective of the framework
- Created a Utility component and Configuration component which can restart/hibernate/sleep the testing devices and configure the devices for test execution
- Tools & Technologies : Robot framework, Python, Selenium, PywinAuto
Benefits
- Enhanced the test execution speed and increased the productivity of the organization
- Flexibility to add new features or technology to the existing solution
- Reusability of common features, functionalities and actions for various applications
- Reduced human error
Results
- Improved the overall product quality.
- Increased productivity thereby better time to market
Features
- Automation with open source scripting
- Parallel execution on multiple test devices
- Efficient way of Exception handling and Error Logging
- Test cases are independent
