Key Features Keyword Driven Test interface Keyword driven testing is a very powerful test automation technique that separates much of the programming work of test automation from the actual test design. This allows automation tests to be developed earlier and makes the tests easier to maintain. OpKey presents an integrated Keyword Driven interface to the end user to develop and maintain automation scripts. This interface essential allows user to associate GUI Object, Action to be performed and Test data to be passed, all from single interface. Business Advantage: OpKey Keyword driven test interface enables a Manual tester or Business Analyst with zero scripting knowledge to quickly automate his test case and drive out technicality from automation Object Repository for GUI Objects OpKey enable the Users to achieve maintainable automation by creating a separate repository of GUI Objects called Object Repository that can be created in standalone or Shard mode. The objects can be added to this repository through Browser DOM interface using which you can navigate through your application, point to any specific object you want to add to your OR and OpKey does the rest for you So essentially if an object changes from one version of application to another version, you only need to do changes at the Object Repository level without doing any changes to Test Scripts Business Advantage: Object Repository in OpKey separates objects from test scripts and facilitates low maintenance overhead 3
Integrated Test Data Management A very important criterion for evaluating Test automation framework is the ease with which is allows data driven testing. And OpKey scores a perfect 10 there. With its integrated data management feature, OpKey presents user with a grid view where user can define and edit test data. OpKey Data import wizard allows user to import test data from external source such as XML file, Excel sheet and Database Business Advantage: OpKey data grids allows Test data to be associated with scripts within no time and with minimum fuss Intuitive Results and Informative Reports OpKey provides an intuitive reporting interface which fulfils the needs of the whole spectrum of Automation Stakeholders. While at one end it has extensive Dashboards to present the Test Results to Management in a simplified manner, at the other end it allows users to analyze the root cause of a failure in their automation suite by capturing snapshot for each step. OpKey has good number of reports based on effective automation metrics like automation efficiency, defect leakage etc. Business Advantage: This feature drastically cuts down the result debugging time and is a significant productivity enhancer 4
