Hybrid Testing Frameworks: Benefits and Challenges in Automation

The Hybrid Automation Framework is structured around the core principles of test automation, which include test independence, idempotency, and clarity—essential elements for developing a robust testing suite. This document details the development of Hybrid Test Automation Framework also provides an overview of its architecture and design. The framework is user-friendly and integrates a high-level programming language that supports object-oriented design, facilitates low-level access to user interface components, and allows for rapid recovery from alterations to the user interface of the application. The framework's architecture features a multi-layered design that separates browser UI components from test scripts. It incorporates various hybrid methodologies, including Linear Scripting, Module-Based Testing, Keyword-Driven Testing, as well as Data-Driven Testing. Additionally, the paper addresses both the advantages and challenges associated with the implementation of hybrid testing automation frameworks.
