Beyond Page Objects - Evolving a test framework for a multi-client, multi-lingual web site
I was engaged by a healthcare organisation offering customised on-line health assessment surveys worldwide. The challenge was to create an automation framework that would enable testing of multiple site variations in multiple languages, without extensive development effort. The solution we created, using Selenium and FitNesse with a custom framework, allowed the test team and content editors to rapidly check the functionality of the site and focus on the variations that provide their competitive edge.
In this practical demonstration I will talk about the challenges of the situation and how the architecture of the solution can be applied to similar GUI automation problems.
