If a tester approaches thier role as one in which they are meant to police the work of developers, if they imagine they should test code directly, that they are not part of the development team and even to a degree that formaly logging bugs is a d...
"One of the developer raised that issue till the VP & humiliated her in front of everyone. " Why was the tester the one humiliated? The Developer was the one who put the quality issue in there in the first place. Why did you miss a bug - why did...

Open2Test :: Advancing the Test Automation World


The driving force behind the Open2Test project is to change the landscape in the test automation industry from one that reads the instructions and tries to code the ultimate solution to an industry that has the ultimate solution coded and is ready to create new and better ways of using technology for testing. In short, the Open2Test project is designed to make the first giant leap in more than 10 years in test automation technology and advance the test automation world into the 21st century.

The Open2Test test automation framework is a true tool and platform independent, keyword-driven framework that all of the experts say we should be coding when we begin our automation projects. A similar framework would take months to design and years to code, but now you don’t have to since the automation code is provided through the open source community via www.Open2Test.org. The QA and testing audience can now spend their creative time and energy delivering testing solutions instead of reading books and building testing framework tools.

Tools covered by the Open2Test project are HP/Mercury QuickTest Professional, Compuware TestPartner, IBM Rational Robot, and Borland® SilkTest®. Technologies covered by the tools are web, Windows, Java, .Net, mainframe, Oracle Applications, Flex, and a few others.

A full matrix of the tools / technologies combinations is published on the Open2Test project web site at http://www.Open2Test.org.

We invite you to visit the web site, download the framework, and peruse the tool / technology matrix to see the planned release schedule. Most importantly, if it’s within your power, please participate in the open source project and be a big part of contributing to the advancement of the test automation industry into the future.

If the Open2Test project team is correct, 10 years from now we should be reading about 2009 as the year the test automation industry took a giant leap into the 21st century, and all of the industry literature will be discussing the advances in open source test automation strategy instead of reading articles on how to build your test automation framework infrastructure.
