Keyword Driven Testing: A Fun and Informative Guide


let's imagine we're building a robot to test a pizza-making machine! Our robot, named PizzaTesto, loves pizza and is super excited to help ensure that every pizza made by the machine is perfect.

  1. Keyword Library: First, Testo needs a set of commands it understands. These are like the recipes for different actions Testo can perform. For example:
    • "SpreadSauce": Spreads the pizza sauce
    • "AddToppings": Puts toppings like cheese, chicken, and veggies on the pizza
    • "BakePizza": Puts the pizza into the oven and bakes it
    • "SlicePizza": Cuts the pizza into slices
    • "DeliverPizza": Moves the pizza to the delivery area
  2. Test Script: PizzaTesto's "recipe book" is like an Excel sheet with rows of instructions, each using these keywords.
  3. Test Execution: PizzaTesto reads the recipe book and follows the instructions, using its robot arms and sensors to interact with the pizza machine. It spreads sauce, adds toppings, bakes the pizza, slices it, and delivers it to the table.

Now, imagine PizzaTesto gets a new recipe for a different type of pizza. Instead of rewriting the entire process, we just need to update PizzaTesto's recipe book with the new keywords and details, like using pesto sauce instead of tomato sauce and adding different toppings.

And just like that, PizzaTesto can keep testing pizzas like a pro, all thanks to its keyword-driven approach!

Functional Testing: A Fun and Informative Guide

  So, What Exactly is Functional Testing? Think of functional testing as the superhero of software quality assurance. It’s all about putting your software through its paces to make sure it behaves exactly as intended. We’re talking about testing every nook and cranny to ensure that your app or website does what it’s supposed to do, and does it darn well! Why Functional Testing Rocks! Imagine you’re the proud owner of a shiny new car. You wouldn’t just drive it straight out of the dealership without making sure the brakes work, right? That’s where functional testing comes in. It’s like taking your software for a spin around the block to check if all the features are firing on all cylinders. How Does it Work? Functional testing is like playing detective in the digital world. You create test scenarios that mimic real-life user interactions — clicking buttons, entering data, navigating menus — and then sit back and watch the magic happen. If everything goes smoothly, you give your soft...

Imagine you’re a software detective! You need a toolbox filled with skills to uncover any glitches in the programs you investigate. Here’s how to build your detective kit for both manual and automation testing: Manual Testing Detective Kit: Case Files 101:  Learn how programs are built (SDLC) and different testing methods (like catching functional flaws or checking if things run smoothly). Think Sherlock Holmes familiarising himself with crime scenes and deduction techniques. Sharpen Your Mind:  Online courses or certifications can be your detective academy. You can even go for a bachelor’s degree in computer science, but that’s not always required. Become a Testing Ace:  Learn different testing approaches (Agile, Waterfall) and levels (unit testing is like examining a single fingerprint, while system testing is checking the whole criminal mastermind plan). There are also black-box, white-box, and grey-box techniques — like different detective styles! Get Your Hands Dirty...

  Project 1: E-commerce Website Automation Testing This project focuses on automating the core functionalities of an e-commerce website. Step 1: Choose an e-commerce platform or website. You can use a public demo site(For ex. —  https://www.demoblaze.com/ ) or a local installation for practice. Step 2: Identify test scenarios. Examples: User registration and login Product search and filtering Adding items to the cart and managing the cart Checkout process with different payment methods Order confirmation and account management Step 3: Select automation tools and frameworks. Popular options include Selenium with a testing framework like JUnit or TestNG for web applications, PyTest with Python or Cypress with Javascript. Step 4: Develop automated test scripts. Write code to automate the identified test scenarios — Utilise techniques like Page Object Model (POM) for better maintainability. Step 5: Integrate data-driven testing. Use external data sources like CSV files to feed tes...
