Feature Driven Hybrid Test Automation Framework (FDHTAF) is a concept where taking advantage of combination of Feature driven automation framework and Hybrid automaton framework. And bundled to together new concept of Feature Driven Hybrid Test Automation frame work, here business objective is divided as features and features are defined by set of keywords and corresponding test data, Test Automation Framework will use excel files to maintain test cases and test data, Property file for storing the test environment details. Feature Driven Hybrid Test Automation Framework provides the user with various benefits that helps them to develop, execute and report the automation test scripts efficiently. Feature Driven Hybrid Test Automation is more robust framework that has capability to convert manual test cases to automated test cases and It avoid separation of manual test cases and automation test cases. Framework is completely independent to Application Under Test (AUT) for any web based or cloud based application. Framework implementation followed various guidelines, coding standards, innovative concepts, formal processes, industrial practices, structured hierarchies, functional modularity, advanced reporting mechanism, standard way of test data representation etc. Architecture is key factor of automation design., The framework provides cost effective solution for different types testing objectives, Repeatable test conditions and reusability Reduce redundancy, speed up the testing process, Improve quality and test coverage, Reduce manual intervention and Easy reporting.
