Domain experts don’t have automation expertise; automation experts often don’t have functional knowledge: HTAF bridged this gap.
HTAF is a Mindtree proprietary customizable framework developed over HP-QTP. This framework significantly reduces test automation life cycle by accelerating script development, execution and management. An hybrid design approach is followed that supports both data-driven and keyword-driven automation methodologies. Spreadsheet-driven HTAF test scripts can be used by QA / business users with minimal knowledge of QTP.
HP-QTP is one of the industry leading tools for GUI automation with over 60% market share. However, it requires expertise and programming experience to use QTP effectively. HTAF is user friendly and especially ideal for novice users.
