| Excel powered keyword driven automation accelerator over QTP (EKDA) One of the major challenges of using commercial automation tool is availability of tool experts and dependency on them. Having a separate automation team of experts for managing the end to end automation activity has its own disadvantages. We propose a structure where automation team can involve manual team or business users or other non technical users in the automation process bringing the overall risk of the automation implementation significantly low. Our EKDA framework bridges the gap between automation and non-automation team members. Automation experts create the keywords which can be used as steps in the excel sheet to create automated business flows. We have our own set of keyword repositories which we provide as part of framework implementation. If required new keyword creation is one time process and same can be reused across applications across projects. |
