Module 12: Automation strategy

Notes for offline study · 3 November 2026

Designing a test automation framework

Key points

  • The Page Object Model keeps locators and page actions in separate classes.
  • Utilities, config files and test data stay apart from the tests.
  • Good reporting and logging make failures easy to debug.

Allure test reports

Key points

  • Allure builds readable HTML reports from test results.
  • Annotations add steps, descriptions and attachments to the report.
  • Screenshots attached on failure help find the cause.

Visual regression testing

Key points

  • Visual testing compares screenshots with an approved baseline.
  • Differences above a threshold fail the test.
  • Hide dynamic content such as dates to avoid false failures.
