Author: Ayal Zylberman and Aviram Shotten, QualiTest Group

Keyword Driven Testing Approach
The purpose of this document is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the Keyword Driven Testing approach which is, in many cases, a mandatory requirement required to successfully implement cost-effective automated testing. Rather than engage in a theoretical dissertation on this subject, I have endeavored to be as straightforward and brutally honest as possible in discussing the issues, problems, necessities, and requirements involved in this approach.

A Process-Complete Automatic Acceptance Testing Framework
We present a new automated software acceptance tests framework. The framework is novel in supporting he entire lifecycle and all QA activities, including test maintenance over multiple versions, interaction with programmers and business analysts, traceability to specifications, multi-user test cases and more. This enables a significant increate in QA productivity and product quality. We compare our framework to other available tools, products and frameworks, and present several patterns and anti-patterns for implementing a successful automated acceptance testing solution.

Tip #17: Learn. Don’t copy

It’s okay to learn from others, but there’s a slight distinguish between learning and copying. Do not follow 3rd party approaches and templates as is. Instead, take the relevant part of each approach and ignore the irrelevant parts. The most important thing – use your logic!
