Framework Overview
Introduction
The MSS Automation Framework is a unified, keyword-driven and scenario-based automation framework designed to support multiple applications, platforms, and execution strategies.
The framework enables test authors to create, execute, and manage automation test cases using configuration files instead of code, making it easy to scale and onboard new team members.
Key Objectives
The framework is designed to:
Reduce test automation complexity
Enable non-developers to author tests
Support multi-platform automation
Provide scalable and parallel execution
Deliver actionable reports and dashboards
Core Capabilities
Scenario-Based Execution
Test scenarios are defined using JSON files
Each scenario represents a complete business flow
Scenarios can be filtered by module, category, priority, and environment
Keyword-Driven Approach
Test steps reference reusable keywords
Keywords abstract underlying automation logic
New test cases can be created without writing code
Multi-Platform Support
The framework supports execution across:
Web applications
Desktop applications
APIs
Mobile platforms
SAP systems
Platform selection is controlled via configuration files.
Flexible Execution Control
Execution can be controlled using:
Sequential or parallel execution
Scenario-level or global browser selection
Environment-based filtering
Retry and timeout configuration
Configuration-Driven Design
All execution behavior is controlled through configuration files:
Execution mode and concurrency
Browser strategy
Timeouts and waits
Reporting preferences
This ensures: - Consistency across environments - Easy CI/CD integration - Minimal code changes
Reporting and Dashboarding
The framework provides:
Step-level execution results
Scenario-level pass/fail status
Consolidated HTML and JSON reports
Management dashboards with KPIs and trends
Reports are generated automatically after execution.
