Research And Practice Of Automation Testing Framework On Web Application

With the popularity of software applications and the complexity increase, software quality assurance has become increasingly challenge. These require professions to find a lot of testing methods and techniques to resolve issues of product quality. These methods have slowly evolved into specialized software system testing technology and then thrived rapidly and became essential and integral part of the software lifecycle.From the software test automation thinking and concept, this essay starts from the linkages and limitations between manual testing and automated testing, and presents the advantage and applying areas for both testing technology, then combines with the testing demand in the actual project from automated testing and implementation levels, by re-structuring and re-designing the mature platform and technology, selecting Ruby as object-oriented script language and its web application development framework, it comes into examples of designed automated testing framework, Horizon.. The architecture model of the Horizon is divided into presentation layer, control layer and model layer, functional modular separate different level’s logic and objects based on this model. At last the essay introduces the application of testing framework in the reality project, using example to show the accomplishment of whole testing process using this framework, which summed up the general process and methods in automated testing solution of Web applications.
