This paper is a guide on how to create Table Driven Test automation with off-the-shelf utilities and commercially available GUI testing tools. It demonstrates the benefits of using a table driven approach and presents various engines, utilities and documents that enhance or support this third generation testing architecture, which I call Enterprise Test Engine Suite Technology (E-TEST).
Many companies invest heavily in test automation in order to verify the functionality of their complex client/server and web applications, only to find that anticipated cost savings and higher reliability remain illusively out of reach.
