In current market scenario, organizations not only want to test software effectively, but also as quickly and comprehensively as possible. To achieve this goal, organizations are turning to test automation services.

Why do organizations need a framework for test automation? The simple answer is it helps organization to standardize the test automation process irrespective of the tool and provide effective results. A Test Automation Framework is basically a set of guidelines or best practices which can be followed in a systematic way to achieve the desired result. When it comes to test automation there are lots of tools available in the market, as an organization, you can drive all the tools using a single framework and see results. The full potential of a tool can be extracted using a test automation framework and it also helps in the accuracy of the result.

Let us now look at the multiple reasons why an organization might rely on a test automation framework.

Benefits of a Test Automation Framework

Given below are some of the reasons why using test automation framework has become so valuable and essential these days:

1. Cost-Effective Procedure

The maintenance cost of testing tools is quite high. A test automation framework, allows you to preserve the code even with common changes like test data or page objects or even through the reporting structure and so on. When a client asks for a change in the application, you cannot say no, right? This is when automation framework will rescue you. Without spending a penny extra you will be able to implement the changes which would, otherwise, not have been possible in a manual setup. It is not only cost-effective but also a customer-friendly quality testing process.

2. Easy Scripting 

This is probably one of the biggest benefits of test automation framework because it makes sure that both an individual and a team of programmer will have consistent coding. Not every programmer has the same style of coding and this makes multiple testing necessary. Even when you are working in a team, you will have different coding patterns, but at the end of the day, what matters is whether or not it passes the test. That is what automation framework offers. It will consolidate all coding data together so that there is no chance of duplicate coding.
