Test Automation Framework (TAF)
about project
The client needed a solution to automate the testing and verification process for new products. The project involved developing a Test Automation Framework (TAF) to create and execute test scenarios for desktop, web, and mobile applications.
The framework required capabilities for generating detailed test reports, saving logs, screenshots, video recordings, and integration into the CI/CD pipeline. It was also designed to meet IEC 62304 standards and synchronize with the Requirements Management System for full traceability.
Client aimed to standardize the testing process across all products, improve product quality, and reduce testing costs by moving away from third-party tools. By automating testing, TAF helped streamline verification, enhance efficiency, and lower manual testing efforts.

process
Initial Request and Requirement Gathering
The project started with gathering the requirements for automating both desktop and web applications, ensuring compatibility with their internal systems and compliance with industry standards.
Evaluation and Planning
Client aimed to create a unified testing framework to replace 3rd party testing solution. The decision was made to build a custom framework that would meet the needs of their complex applications and internal standards. The planning phase involved identifying the gaps in existing solutions and designing the foundation of TAF.
Requirement Specification Development
The team developed specifications for the framework, including features like test report generation, logging, and integration with Requirement Management System.
Development
The project started with building an MVP for automating desktop applications. This was later extended to web applications, API testing, and mobile app testing.
Initially positioned as a desktop solution, the framework evolved with features added based on testing needs. The first application tested on TAF was a simple client’s desktop application, which helped validate the framework's core functionalities.
The framework was built on C#, Selenium, WinAppDriver, MEF, Appium, UWP, and WPF. Over time, as client expanded, additional teams adopted the framework, which was continuously expanded with new features.
Test Coverage and Automation
The system was initially validated with manual tests and then gradually automated as the framework's capabilities expanded. By automating the test processes, the platform ensured broad coverage and reduced manual testing efforts.
Documentation Development
Initially, documentation was manually maintained, but the framework eventually evolved to support automated documentation generation, reducing the manual workload for documenting test cases and results.
Release Candidate Preparation
The development team prepared a candidate release for the framework and began testing it across multiple applications.
Verification Process
Rigorous verification was carried out to ensure the framework met all of client's needs, including the generation of automated reports, logging, and successful integration with the Requirement Management System.
Validation and Final Release
Final validation was conducted, ensuring the framework was capable of handling complex test scenarios, from desktop applications to mobile apps, with full automation capabilities.
Final Release and Support
After a successful release, the framework continued to be supported and improved based on user feedback and emerging needs.
