Design and Implementation of UI Automation Framework for e-Learning Application

- Any product is accepted or approved only after it is tested. Testing is the important phase that any product has to go through at least once during the development life cycle. In early 40s it was the developers who performed testing and it was a part of debugging as well. In todays world where software is the essential element for any product to work, testing of the software has to be performed before we release the product. Software testing is necessary to increase the reliability of the product, deliver a quality product and to deliver in time. Manual testing is accompanied by automation testing because this uses automation tools to reduce the human involvement. In todays world e-Learning is one of the biggest achievements in the education domain. Helping the faculty and students to connect easily anywhere is a milestone achieved. In this paper we represent an automation framework for testing the Intellus application. The framework is implemented with the help of Selenium webdriver tool and output is a report in HTML/XML format that is generated after the test execution is complete. To reduce the manual effort, network lags, request timeouts, application load times. Hence the framework improves the performance of the application.
