Discovering what type of frameworks can be used. We first had to Identify the correct frame work to use for our Automation.

We decided to compare the following:

• Modular

• Data Driven

• Keyword-Driven

How Test Complete helped us :

• Allowed us to use a modular design framework

• Allowed us to Capture items in objects to do a comparison thru the UI and Database.

• Easy to integrate with our QA Repository

• Easy to onboard other QA Members

Final Thought

Impossible is defined as “Not Capable of being accomplished” however, if you have a plan and a willingness to fall and get back up you can always do the impossible.
