Batch Process Application testing using UFT

Greetings to Readers,

Another try on sharing knowledge for batch process application testing using UFT. Below are few approach for automation framework in batch process applications.

1. Understand the all batch process applications- sub batches functions, based on it decide the automation scenarios. sequence of batches for run, input and output for that batch, validation rules, where that batch files are deployed or run, how to run, how can we run using UFT etc needs to take care
2. At a time, how many batches can run, do they require same inputs or outputs, dependent on each other, validation for some files, inputs etc.
3. Try to use different library for all sub batch files, as maintenance is less
4. Try to use generic functions for some validations of common batches validations
5. Try to use global variables for maintain data through the batches for validations
6. Use hybrid framework for automation with combination of module function based approach. here data will not be vary mostly for such type of applications.
