DESCRIPTION
Several organizations have tried to replace the Manual testing with the Test Automation tools. While they did reap its benefits, most also encountered a few roadblocks. A major disadvantage to record and playback is that the test has hard coded values and cannot cope with the small changes in the application responses. Hence, this approach has appeal for demonstrating examples of automation, but will not produce a scaleable or maintainable test automation solution. qLabs solution for test automation meets all the demands for modern test systems. It consists of adaptable, object-oriented components that ensure the quick and easy implementation of customized solutions. We use a framework that provides all the mechanisms needed to run the test logic. The test script developer only needs to provide the test-specific logic.
