Understand Keyword Driven Framework by using UFT – (Part 2) – User friendly Tech help

ByMatteo

After our basic overview of Keyword Driven Framework in Part -1 , now we would implement and understand its individual components. Part3 contains the keyword sheet creation and run results.
n
nTest Scenario:- 
nWe would be using the following scenario to exemplify our Keyword Framework
n1.Launch web browser 
n2.Search “uftHelp” on “Google”
n3.Open the first link of search Result
n4.Verify that www.uftHelp.com, page is opened
n5.Search any given value on this Tutorial website
n6.Close the Application 
n
Solution Explorer:-
nThis is how our Framework Solution would look like.

    n

  • Select the Test Case(TC_01_Search) in Solution Explorer

    • n

  • View -> Properties

    • n

  • Open “Parameters Tab” -> Add -> Add Input Parameter

    • n

  • Fill the Name and Default Value , Leave Type as String 

    • n
