Automated Test Framework for Software Quality Assurance

The overall endeavor of the software engineering is to ensure delivery of high quality software to the end user. To guarantee high quality software, it is required to test software. Testing is a crucial constituent of software engineering. In software testing there are number of underlying issues like effective generation of test cases, prioritisation of test cases which need to be tackled. This automated test framework mainly depends on these four aspects: test strategy, test case generation, test execution and test evaluation. Test strategy is a collection of procedures that determines the testing approach to be followed by the testing team. The test case generation refers to the generation of testcases based on the given application. The test execution briefs about the execution of those tests then comparing the expected result with actual result. The test evaluation investigates the test cases and helps us to generate test summary report and software quality assurance report automatically. The intention of producing this tool is to generate test cases automatically and to decrease the cost of testing in addition to accumulate the time of deriving test cases physically. Hence this system helps to improve overall quality of the software.
