Preparing the Test Automation Architecture (TAA)

Question

You are currently conducting a (Proof of Concept) PoC aimed at selecting a tool that will be used for the development of a TAS. This TAS will exclusively be used by one team within your organization to implement automated UI-level test scripts for two web apps. The two tools selected for the PoC use JavaScript/TypeScript to implement the automated test scripts and offer capture and playback capabilities. Three test cases for each of the two web apps were selected to be automated during the PoC. The PoC will compare these two tools in terms of their effectiveness in recognizing and interacting with UI widgets exercised by the test cases, to quickly determine whether test automation is possible and which tool is better. Which of the following TAF is BEST suited for conducting the PoC?

Options

  • AA one-layer TAF ('test scripts')
  • BA two-layer ('test scripts', 'test libraries')
  • CA three-layer TAF ('test scripts', 'business logic', 'core libraries')
  • DA layered TAF with more than three layers

Explanation

For a PoC focused on evaluating tools for UI-level test automation with limited scope (six test cases across two web apps), a one-layer TAF ("test scripts") is sufficient. The goal is to quickly assess tool effectiveness in recognizing and interacting with UI widgets, not to build a maintainable, scalable framework. More layered architectures are only needed once the TAS is selected and scaled for long-term use.
