• I have to wait for infrastructure to be
available.
• I have to wait for software to be deployed.
• I wait for QA to give feedback.
• It always works on my machine.
• Why is the development environment different?
• Why are developers taking so long to release
the code?
• Why are there so many release cycles?
• Why are there so many issues in the
software?
• How soon can the developers release an
update to fix the issues reported by the
customer?
• I don’t get enough time for my test cycles.
• The regression cycles are always incomplete.
• There are so many different types of testing
that need to be done.
• What is IT doing?
• Why are my apps not ready yet?

Better collaboration, communication
and integration
Traditional siloed teams do not scale to meet the
demands of the enterprise
Enhance operational knowledge into
design phase
Reliability, performance and security aspect - provide a
way to test them
Enable continuous feedback
Test results to determine whether a build
can be promoted
Create high-quality releases through automation
Continuous integration, automated regression testing,
continuous delivery, automated security and
performance testing
Provide automated environments
Identical environments from Dev to Production

Challenges in Test Automation to be Addressed by a Framework
Challenges
Keeping up
with
technology
changes
Dependency
on UI and
maintenance
effort
Form factor
• Frequent technology changes in
mobile and web development.
• Need to upgrade test automation
tools to incorporate new
technologies.
• Limitations of open
source tools.
• Ever growing number
of target devices,
multiple browser
versions etc.
• Functional test automation
tools are dependent on
the front-end technologies
and UI.
• UI changes cause a ripple
effect in the automation
scripts.

Factors to Consider for Building a Test Automation Framework
Understand business,
technology and ALM
context
Integrate appropriate
tools
Create a list of open
source tools that
support the business
context
Identify common features
and functionalities
Ensure reusability of
scripts
