Framework for Automation of Web Applications Using a Keyword Driven Technique

Abstract

Software Testing is a foremost process in Software development lifecycle (SDLC). Software testing is performed mainly to assure the quality of the software. To make the testing process more effective, automation testing is required, in which software is used to write the test script and the results are generated based on the steps written in the script. There are different types of automation testing, data-driven testing, keyword-driven testing, and behavior-driven testing. Keyword-driven testing takes the keywords written and then generates a result file.

This paper aim is to explain the development of keywords using robot framework. Using these keywords it is convenient and quick to create test cases. The keyword-driven testing approach is used for execution of various keywords that are written during the process. The keywords are executed by the framework and the result file is generated that is used by the tester to analyze the time taken by the script and failures if any.
