A Keyword Driven Framework for Testing Web Applications

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to explore the use of Keyword driven testing for automated testing of web application. In Keyword driven testing, the functionality of the system-under-test is documented in a table as well as in step by- step instructions for each test. It involves the creation of modular, reusable test components. These components are then assembled into test scripts. These components can be parameterized to make them reusable across various test script. These test scripts can also be divided into various reusable actions. This saves a lot of recording procedure. The Existing tools for this testing uses Html, Xml, Spreadsheet, etc. to maintain the test steps. The test results are analyzed to create test reports.
