Salient features of a good automation framework
b) The framework code should be easy to read, understand and maintain.
c) All components in the framework such as test cases, function libraries, object repositories, data sheets, test results etc should be stored in separate folders.
d) Test data should be kept separate from code, preferably in excel sheets.
e) Error handling and batch execution should be added to the framework.
f) Auto-email (or sms) sending feature can also be implemented in the framework.
This eBook will provide you with a quick introduction about each of the automation frameworks. This will include the features of the framework, its flow, and its advantages and disadvantages
