A file-driven complicated workflow automated test framework

The complicated workflow is need to develop some complex scripts, which contains data and not easy to modify in automation testing tools. The paper proposed an automatic test framework to fulfill workflow testing requirements. The test framework should develop single file according to the each test requirement. The file is defined executed object and related test data, which drive by test framework. A detail object description and data design method is introduced. The application case is given used with framework and compared to the current method and only use the native script. The experiment and detailed case proved the proposed method is effective.
