Automation of test cases helps in improving the productivity of validation engineers and reduces errors. A major concern here is the time taken to convert a manual test case to an automated one. This process requires dedicated time and effort. This presentation is a proposal for a GUI-based framework that helps accelerate test automation. The framework provides a facility to perform automation, management, and execution of test cases from a central location. The automation code becomes independent of the remote system on which the test gets executed. The framework improves the productivity of validation engineers by about 25% on the test automation tasks. The other benefits of having a centralized approach are better reusability of codes and options for setting up centralized locations for testing related tasks. This presentation introduces the concept of centralized automation, management and execution to validation engineers, quality assurance managers, and product developers.
