2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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

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

7. 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.
