Abstract

“Extended BDD Automation Framework” is designed to provide the end to

end solution for the Applications that are being developed using agile
development process. It is a simple and easy to use automation framework
that each and every person in the scrum team can provide their contribution
towards automation to reduce their time and efforts in testing the features
that are developed in previous sprints and to continue with the In-Sprint
Automation. Effective utilization of the Scrum team to get maximum results is
the one key point of this framework. Coming to technical perspective, it is
made up of commonly used and Zero Cost tools like TestNG, Cucumber, and
Selenium etc.. . The common check points for an automation framework like
Reporting, Parallel executions, and Multiple modes of execution (Command
line and Tagging) are well developed with this framework.

 Extended BDD Features
 Integration with TestNG

• Cucumber integrated with TestNG for XML driven executions

• To maintain same browser instance for all scenarios in feature file
• Parallel executions of feature file and test prioritization
• Tagging can be driven from XML file
• Multiple feature files can be executed from XML
• Folder level executions can be done from XML

Benefits
 Effective & Efficient Test Results Management
 Results compare feature which reduces the analysis time
 Feature level parallel execution
 Tagging at scenario/Feature level
 Define executions at Folder level
 Define cross browser needs in XML
 Flexibility to execute on multiple environments
 Executable Documentation
 Achieved 70% in sprint automation, which has reduced testing efforts in
hardening sprints
