In our experience the most beneficial design is a hybrid combination of Keyword Driven, Modular, Library and Data Driven frameworks. Depending on your software needs and configuration the most popular frameworks that we implement are Robot and xFlex frameworks, which allows scalability, interoperability, re-usability and maintainability with minimal effort. Testing Framework allows data driven test scripts to gain full advantage of the powerful libraries and utilities that usually accompany a keyword driven architecture. The framework functions can make the data driven scripts more compact and less prone to failure. Our architects utilize tests in a fully scripted Hybrid Testing Framework thus increasing the automation of medium to large applications with long shelf life and large data sets. The frameworks are developed in mind of re-usability and ease-ability file modification for execution of scripts by business end user. We offer a front end customizable portal that is integrated with the framework logic for non technical users to execute the test scenarios suites with minimal effort.
