 Tool- / platform-agnostic solution (BDD release) Tool-agnostic approach To remove dependencies on technical  skills, tools, and platforms, our solution  proposes modeling of system behaviors  using generic English-like language via  an intuitive user interface. This model  would be agnostic to any specific tool or UI  platform and reusable.<|endoftext|>This model will be translated into a widely  acknowledged format, XML, and will act  as an input to generate automation scripts  for specific tools and platforms. Finally,  it would integrate with a continuous  integration platform to achieve an end-to- end automation of build-test-deploy cycle.<|endoftext|>BDD modeling UI Scriptless, tool- / platform-agnostic implementation Business  analyst / end user User story Features Fields and  step defnitions QTP Selenium SAHI Protractor Tester Execution AUT Continuous integration Build Test Deploy Script generator External Document © 2018 Infosys Limited

 Integrated test life cycle The role of the traditional tester and end  users is changing in the era of DevOps  and Shift-Left. The integrated-solution  approach enables a larger stakeholder  Benefits  Reduced time-to-market l Shift-Left, early automation, and early   life cycle validation l Single-click generation and execution   of automated scripts Reduced cost l 40–60 percent reduction in effort    for automated test case generation over   manual testing l Detailed error reporting reduces   defect reporting effort considerably base to contribute towards the quality of  the system under development. It also  ensures the satisfaction of stakeholders  via early validation and early feedback of  system progress while using the industry- standard toolsets seamlessly.<|endoftext|>l Easy maintenance of requirements,   stories, features, and the automated   test suite l No additional cost involved in     building integration components for   test management tools (HP-ALM) l The agnostic approach works for a    broad range of applications irrespective   of tools, technology, and platform Improved quality l Enhanced business user participation   and satisfaction due to the live     documentation of features and user  stories, available at fingertips l Developer, tester, and client     collaboration possible due to a   common language l High defect detection rates (95–99  percent) due to high test coverage Requirement analysis Test design Test execution Test reporting Tester Enhances  automation libraries Generates requirements and features HP ALM/QC IBM RQM JIRA Jenkins Others Executes automation scripts Generates test reports Designs business processes Generates automation scripts Tester BA BA Automation expert QA manager / end user  BDD & UML modeling tool BDD & UML modeling tool Features and metrics reports Tool-agnostic, platform-agnostic automation accelerator  Integration With  Popular  Tools Test Life Cycle Management View External Document © 2018 Infosys Limited
