D-ASE2T Mobile Automation Framework

Industry trends point to adoption of Agile and DevOps methodologies along with a rapid growth in mobile applications and mobile users. It, therefore, becomes critically important for testing experts to come up with effective verification techniques to ensure continuous testing and reliability of web and mobile applications. Going beyond routine manual testing and its shortcomings for the mobile platform, Coforge has created a customized omnichannel test automation framework Digital-ASE2 T (D-ASE2 T) using Appium and Selenium.

Digital-ASE2 T Automation Framework at A Glance

The framework is capable of integrating web andmobile automation tests with CI/ CDenvironment to test web and mobileapplications on multiple platforms and operatingsystems such as Android and iOS in continuoustesting. It leverages a variety of open sourcetools and utilities (AppiumDriver, WebDriver, etc.)coupled with reusable components such asobject, keyword and data mapping. It can runtests/validation in parallel saving time andimproving time-to-market.

Framework Landscape

Scriptless test automation framework:

• Test Cases: Contain the list of all the test cases that have been automated
• Test Data Files: Contain test data for the test cases
• Function Libraries: Contain all reusable and datadriven functions used in the framework
• Report Files: Contain test execution results
• App Files: Contain files of applications
• Library Files: Contain all the jar files which are required for executing the test scripts
• Mobile Capability File: Contains information about an app
• User Manual: Contains the list of keywords, usage, test-suite/test-case samples

Benefits

• Zero license cost (as framework is developed using Open Source tools)
• Saves 30% - 40% effort in test scripting (due to keyword-driven framework)
• Easy scripting with reusable keywords/ functions
• Enhanced test coverage as business users can write scenarios
• Scalable, low maintenance framework
