The document discusses guidelines for automation testing scripting. It recommends planning scripts, using proper methodology and techniques, and designing scripts for reusability, modularity and validation. The key points are: 1) Effective scripting follows guidelines for planning, design and validation. Planning improves scripts' goals and approach. 2) Design utilizes modular, reusable structures and templates for visibility, scalability and maintenance. 3) Validation ensures consistency, quality, customization and reviews to verify proper script functionality.

- 3. Automation Scripting Guidelines Scripting can be done by an beginner or an expert, but the expert can create a scripting better then the beginner. How an expert will create a script is called Scripting guidelines. Here we define the scripting guidelines in to three aspects. Plan your Script -> Design your Script -> Validate your Script. When a beginner follows the guidelines, we can create a script like a expert. When we try to create script for a logic, without guidelines you will create a 10 lines of code to implement the logic, but if you have a plan to script it, we can make it in 6 lines of code and if you create a design for your scripting, you can make the logic work in 4 lines of code, while validating you can make it in 2 lines of code. 2 4 6 10 No. of lines of coding Scripting with out Guidelines Scripting with Plan Scripting with Plan & Design Scripting with Plan, Design & validation
- 4. Script Planning We have to spend more time on planning our Script, the more likely that it will accomplish what you want. In our rush to show progress and results to our customers, we tend to start scripting without putting enough thought into what we want to automate and developing a formal approach. A Structured Plan is required before we start the Automation scripting Three Components of Script Plan are Automation technique, Methodology and Framework Technique Methodology Framework Script Plan
- 5. Scripting Methodology Methodology defines the way or process to achieve the objectives. Methodology entails an array of powerful strategies and tactics for Test Automation. Scripting methodology is the driving focus for Automation Scripting. Method1 Method2 Methodology Method3 Techniques Principles Techniques Principles Techniques Principles
- 6. Scripting Technique Selecting an technique and methodology are the key factors to decide and design a automation framework Two types of Techniques : Functional and Structural Functional automation Technique is depends on business requirements Structural automation technique Is depends on Application Technology Select a technique which leads to achieve the organizational needs If we know the business requirements Clients wants to work based on the business requirement Automation required exclusively for a specific application Limited budget Short Term Planning Where We can use Functional Technique ? Where We can use Structural Technique ? To Implement a Centralized automation process. Independent of business requirement Automation - On the Shelf Product

- 8. Script Design Poor Script design leads to more automation project failures than any other cause. It is necessary to use an automation methodology to design robust automation scripts around specific functional areas of an application Test Script design involves in constructing of an executable model Good Script design leads to visibility, reusability, Scalability and maintainability Design test script independent of Test Data & Test Environment, Scripting design includes, script modularization, parameterization, and external definition of global functions and constants. define templates, standards, and naming conventions for automation scripts. This will make it easier in the long-run to correlate test plans to test scripts, to follow the logic of test steps, and to maintain test instructions. Script Design is commonly used in test automation for improving the maintenance and extensibility of your automation suite. Selecting an scripting Structure is a part of Design phase. Structures of Scripting : Flexible Scripts, Modular Scripts, Reusable Scripts .
- 9. Script Validation Consistency : The consistency state of the script need to be validated by analyzing the results of multiple executions. Quality : size of the script, Code standards, maintainability, level of reusability are used to validate the quality of our scripts. Customization : it is a process to make the script compatible & understandable Reviews : Internal and external reviews can help you to validate the scripts
