3. Test Automation World - Challenges & Open2Test
Impact area Challenges Open2Test feature
Ready to use, Fail safe framework
Time-to-Market, Reliability & Faster
Business Minimum of 40%-50% script creation
ROI
effort reduction
Standard set of English like keywords
Expensive to train and cross train
across Tools & Technologies and thus
resources across tools
require minimal training
Expensive to change to another tool
Expenses
of choice Open2Test is Tool & Techno agnostic
Expensive to rewrite automation thereby compatible across tools and
scripts if a change of tool or technologies
technology is desired
Open2Test is independent of the Tools &
Ability to reuse resources across technology and thus enabling easy
Resources
test automation tools deployment of resources across tools &
technologies
Fail safe, well used and enterprise grade
Need for individual framework
Technology framework which is application
creation for each of the product lines
independent too

 Framework code developed for technology (web .NET, Java) & for tool (QTP, Test Partner)
 Frameworks developed keeping keyword naming conventions intact
 Guidelines developed to seamlessly integrate multiple frameworks
 Easy to extend – add User defined keywords without developer coding

6. Open2Test Framework Features
• Keyword driven approach • Open2Test can read data
increases reusability Test data from

components. • Identify and baseline
test data • Dynamic generated data can
be captured using variables
Reusability • Data mining as a part 3rd party UI Controls
of pre-conditions
• Solutions with • Increase in
limited reusability complexity • Open2Test can be

(e.g. Infragistics, (new Keywords)
development and Flex)
maintenance efforts • Guidelines to

obsolete
• Scripting supports
both Object Repository
• All applications are mode and descriptive
interconnected programming approach
• Standardized finite set • Multiple technologies (table objects)
of keywords (.NET, Web, Java)
• Tool independent • Frameworks for
keyword terminology multiple platforms can
be easily integrated
• Frameworks built across
multiple tools • Innovez has built
frameworks for all
leading technologies

7. Open2Test Differentiators
Uniqueness Description
Tool-agnostic Test Scripts created by using Open2Test are reusable across various popular test automation
tools, thereby enabling the customers/users to switch from one automation tool to another.
Techno-agnostic Test Scripts created by using Open2Test are reusable across various popular development
technologies, thereby giving the customers/users a flexibility to migrate their application from
one technology to another, like windows to web, with a good reusability of their existing
Open2Test keyword test scripts.
Open source As thought leader is the industry, NTT Keane has released its innovation ‘Open2Test’ as a open
source which enables customers to get a global solution and also free from any IP rights.
Easy to use Open2Test enables even the business users to take part in the Test Automation activities.
Therefore there can be more focus on testing than building a framework.
Easy maintenance Single Framework code enables easy maintenance
Support Consists of 400 keywords and supports 120+ objects covering all available popular controls that
are used in the applications

11. Open2Test Support
• No maintenance or support costs to customers
• Support to queries are raised by sending a mail to opensourceteam@open2test.org
• Innovez team
• consists of resources who contribute for various initiatives on top of their project
work
• provides support for queries raised by the open source community
• maintains the www.open2test.org site
• releases the framework for various tools and technologies based on roadmap

12. Why Open2Test Designer
• It is expensive to automate test cases
• It takes a lot of time to automate test cases
• There are too many test cases that need to be automated
• Open2Test Designer is a new approach to creating test
automation. It leverages meta-data to learn and adapt to each
customer context and automatically create test cases and
scenarios
