3. Quick Takeaways:
Awareness of wiki based automation testing frameworks
Automation tool selection process
How to increase turn-around time to report bugs, defects
Alternatives to expensive automation test tools that
perform better under certain situations
Advantages & challenges of some popular automation
tools

4. Description of the tool
Fitnesse is wiki based web server where testers can
write test cases in portal.
• Input file names
• Business date ( for testing)
• Forex rates
• Instrument price
• Counterparty business rating
• Initial Margin requirement
• Processed File names
• Variation margin
• Risk status
Input Parameters
Output Parameters

5. Advantages of Fitnesse
Version maintenance for test cases
Records time to execute thus measuring performance from
previous results
Test results history with compare functionality
Software installation not required
Can be auto triggered when Developers are using Code
build in Hudson or Jenkins. Code will be tested as soon as
they are checked in
Freeware

6. Integration:
Fitnesse with Selenium, J-Shell
and JDBC
Java functions to achieve various kinds for testing like on
Unix, Database, Browsers
Selenium JAR files can be imported into the Automation
test project to run selenium Functions
J-Shell- for Unix
JDBC for Database connections
Jars Document comparing
JARs are java function libraries which contain in built
methods like openBrowser(), executeQuery() to be used in
testing various applications manually tested in SQL ,
Browser and Unix box

7. Exceptions handing scenarios in
Automation testing:
Exceptions handling mechanism in
Java can be used effectively for
handling exceptions like Connection timeout
in SQL, Web page reload
required or Unix server is slow to response
7

8. How to use Fitnesse for DevOp
s:
Automation test cases can be written in advance before
code is prepared
although this would clear technical details like expected
response message XML
UI needs to be prepared before business logic is written
over it
8

9. Practical Example:
Used for a banking application
An end to end testing was performed for collateral manage
ment application
Files for Forex rates, Balances & Positions for instruments
, Clearing house feeds for customers Buy/Sell portfolios
All these files tested in Unix environment since Fitnesse
used J Shell to trigger Unix commands and fetch results
JDBC was used to test database table updates
Selenium was used for performing transactions from GUI
9

10. Best Practices:
Automation testing pack should be run for regression test
scenarios only
Automation should run as a Pack of test cases to test a
Module or System End to End completely since individual
test case execution in Automation wastes time and effort
Regularly check with client after every new update
regarding critical business logic testing
Automation test pack to be divided between High risk test
pack for critical scenarios
Completed test pack to execute all test scenarios
10

11. Tool selections ideas:
Understanding client expectations
What testing tools to use for the application
Which tool to use
Which framework to use
