Abstract

By combining data-driven and keyword-driven technologies and using XML format to store testing data, this paper shows how to design and implement a GUI automated testing framework with strong reusability, expandability and robustness. The separation of scripts, data and business logic divides personnel into framework developers and testers. In this case, testers could concentrate on the design of test case and the development of data file, helping to improve test quality and simplifying the skills required for automated testing. Furthermore, detailed description about how to use XML to express test case and how to revert the XML to scripts executed by automated testing tool are also demonstrated by the paper.
