USAGE OF VARIOUS AUTOMATION TOOLS TO ACHIEVE WIDER TEST COVERAGE Author : Saurabh Gupta Co – Author : Chaitra Shankar Co – Author : Sumeet Choudhury Honeywell

Abstract Integration of various automation tools mapping to AUT(Application Under Test) technology developed on a common scripting framework to seamlessly interact between automation tool library.

Problem Definition Automation process is dependent on multiple automation technologies like windows , web and mobile platforms which requires to interact and acknowledge them. Available automation tools are either equipped to handle particular technology or they are not efficient enough to cater every aspect of process.

How To Achieve Selecting automation tool framework that supports scripting technology with IDE feature and should also support third party consumable libraries: Few of them are : Visual Studio Professional IDE Test Complete IDE QTP IDE Eclipse IDE

Third Party Libraries Few third party tool are available as library. We can consume these library by interacting with them using a common scripting language that can seamlessly talk between different technologies. They are available in the form of consumable libraries such as dll, jar file etc. Few of them are : Microsoft UIA dll Selenium dll/jar Autoit dll/jar Robotium jar Xamarin dll

Application Operating System Under Test An Overview Automation Tool having IDE feature Application Under Test Operating System

Productivity Impact Integrating the automation framework in one executable will save efforts of running multiple automation tools. Helps in achieving wider test coverage in one solution.
