Based on requirements, sometimes
multiple tools need to integrate together as
one single system.
This presentation discusses a case study
wherein Selenium and FitNesse were
integrated to perform functional,
acceptance and Web Service testing.

Case Study
Test Automation Development and Maintenance
Functional, acceptance and web services testing
Objective
Source Capture Optimization (SCO) is a unique Fiserv approach to enhance the reliability, versatility and scalability of
image capture and check processing with a common web based platform. Wherever one gather deposits, Fiserv ensures
that they are benefited from the best possible solution at the lowest operational cost.
SCO business partners were looking for development and maintenance of test automation for their Web Application.
Requirements
SCO business partners had well defined requirements for automation development:

SCO business partners had well defined requirements for automation development:
Only open source tools to be used
Non technical business associates and manual testers be able to develop automation scripts easily
Automation testing tools be able to perform functional, acceptance and web-services testing
Automation testing tools and framework to support test cases and test scenarios management
Challenges
Identifying the right tools for the given requirements
Provide a framework that supports developing automation script in plain simple language
Preparing an automated scenario library and performing test management within the tool
Handle image exception scenario for scanned image of a cheque
Perform web-services testing with the same automation tool
Test Automation Development and Maintenance
(Contd)
Functional, acceptance and web services testing
Tools Identified
Based on client requirements, resources availability, effort estimates and the open source tools available in the market,
Fiserv decided to use Selenium and FitNesse automation tools.

Automation Tools and
Approach
Selenium, Selenesse and FitNesse
Selenium
Selenium is an open
source tool for
browser automation
Selenium Tools Suite
available:
Selenium IDE
Selenesse
Selenesse is the
modern bridge
between FitNesse
and Selenium
FitNesse
Fitnesse is a
lightweight, open-
source framework for
automated testing
It helps to

Scanned Image Exception Handling Algorithm
Algorithm:
Do Until All Exceptions are Removed
Select an Item row
Identify the column having exception with the background color
Read the type of exception from Item Exceptions section
Handle the exception by entering correct value for it

Conclusion
With this Proof of Concept (POC), we were able to completely fulfill our
business partner requirements and it was well appreciated.
The solution has been successfully implemented in one of the testing
projects and has helped save time and cost by implementing
automation development at a very low cost.
