Building Your Own Automation Framework

Let’s face it, building an automation framework is hard. That’s why there are so many commercial ones available on the market. But what if you wanted to build your own? One that you could customize to suit your needs, as opposed to you having to work within the confines of a tool or other framework. Where do you start? What does it need to have to be successful? Chris Loder will walk you through building your own automation framework based on his successful framework architecture. You will start with a basic test case runner and then build on it by adding new modules, such as UI manipulation, validation, REST testing functionality, and results reporting. When your day is over, you will have your own working automation framework that you can instantly put to work upon your return. That solid foundation will allow you to build upon it and make it your own.

Notes
This tutorial requires knowledge of C# as the framework is written in it, however, if you know Java, C# is quite easy to pick up. You will also need a Windows PC with Visual Studio Community edition installed.
