How Is Testing Done Today?

� Testing team have to wait for application

– Test automation project is started once the application is available

� Teams of testers and application users are required for testing

Typical scenario


– Test team works with application users to understand scenarios and flows

for testing as well as the scope of the testing project

� Test automation begins

– Test team is provided access to a test environment

– Test team begins to build test automation scripts

– Test team consults application users for clarification of scenarios

Testing Challenges

� Manual testing takes too long

– Business users do not have time to test every change (repeatedly)

� Difficult to find technical resources for test automation

Growing complexity of applications requires more testing


– Unable to leverage automated testing due to unavailability of technical

resources

� Constant business process changes render test assets obsolete

– Scripts needs to be maintained/recreated after changes to the applications

New Approach to Testing

� Dramatically reduces testing time

� Minimizes the need for technical

resources

Making sure your application is tested

INTRODUCING

ORACLE


ORACLE FLOW BUILDER- KEYWORD DRIVEN TESTING

What Is Keyword Driven Testing?

� Keyword-driven testing is another way of creating automated tests

� It enables non-technical testers to compose test flows by defining

series of user actions that together define an application user flow


� User actions are defined using pre-defined keywords such as

Click, SetText, Select, etc.

� Test flows are then transformed into executable test automation

scripts at run time

How Is Keyword Driven Testing Implemented?

� Use a Keyword driven testing

framework as harness

� Testers analyze the application to

test and define Keywords

� Non-technical testers use

Keywords to mimic actions in Flows

– SetText Id_UserName John Doe

– SetText Id_Password MyS3Cr3T

Example


test and define Keywords

� Technical testers implement

Keywords and map these to code

– Keywords ”Click” & ”Button” could

for example generate the code web.button(Object).click();

– SetText Id_Password MyS3Cr3T

– Click Button OK

� Bind test data to Flows

� Generate test automation scripts

Pros and Cons of Keyword Driven TestingKeyword driven testing

Pros Cons

Maintenance is lower (over time)

• Test cases are concise

• Readable test cases for stake holders

• Test cases are easy to modify

Requires technical resource for keyword

implementation

Test cases can reuse keywords Only suitable for applications where keywords /


Test cases can reuse keywords Only suitable for applications where keywords /

user actions can be re-used in many places

More ‘robust’ test scripts Longer Time to Market

• Build framework

• Define keywords & code

Framework may support multiple

Addressing The Testing Challenges

� Manual testing takes too long

– Oracle Flow Builder can reduce the need for manual testing

freeing the business users from manual testing

Difficult to find technical resources for test automation

Oracle Flow Builder

��


� Difficult to find technical resources for test automation

– Oracle Flow Builder requires less technical resources allowing testing team

to work more efficiently

� Constant business process changes render test assets obsolete

– Oracle Flow Builder requires a fraction of maintenance compared to

traditional scripts, allowing customers to keep up-to-date

��

��

��


� Reduce test development effort

– Make use of pre-defined components

� Compress lead time for testing

Oracle Flow Builder


– Test script development can begin before application is ready

� Easy maintenance

– Quick and easy changes of components and flows

� AUT* does not have to be available when creating the scripts

�When AUT* changes testers only have to update Keywords or flows

* Application Under Test


� Eliminates the major drawbacks of keyword driven testing

– Pre-defined Keywords

– Pre-defined components & flows
