Answer / raman verma

Data-driven testing is a methodology used in Test automation
where test scripts are executed and verified based on the
data values stored in one or more central data sources or
databases. These databases can range from datapools, ODBC
sources, csv files, Excel files, DAO objects, ADO objects, etc.

Keyword-driven testing or Table-driven testing is a Software
testing methodology as part of the Test automation
discipline that separates the programming work from the
actual Test script so that the test scripts can be developed
without knowledge of programming. As a result the test
scripts can be maintained with only minor updates, even when
the application or testing requires significant changes.

The Data-Driven Testing Framework.:it is used i/p and o/p values for test are fetched from data files these data files can be excel files.

The Keyword-Driven or Table-Driven Testing Framework.:We need create a set keywords and data table

Answer / satish javalekar

Data driven Testing :
Data driven scripts are those application-specific scripts
captured or manually coded in the automation tool’s
proprietary language and then modified to accommodate
variable data. Variables will be used for key application
input fields and program selections allowing the script to
drive the application with external data supplied by the
calling routine or the shell that invoked the test script.
Keyword driven testing:
These tests are developed as data tables using a keyword
vocabulary that is independent of the test automation tool
used to execute them. This keyword vocabulary should also be
suitable for manual testing.
The data table records contain the keywords that describe
the actions we want to perform. They also provide any
additional data needed as input to the application, and
where appropriate, the benchmark information we use to
verify the state of our components and the application in
general.
Hope this clarifies the difference.

Keyword Driven Testing: In this testing tester interaction
is there at time of testing. we can give the values with
help of

Syntax:- Variable = inputbox("String")
Ex:- a = inputbox("Enter the value for A ")

In the above example a is the variable it's stores
the value at the runtime. and u can use this variable as a
parameter of any object at runtime.

Data Driven Testing: In this testing there is no
interaction of tester. here we can use datasheets or
frontend grids as parameters to the application.
We can get values from data sheets

Syntax:- variable = datatable("column name","sheet
name")
Ex:- empno = datatable
("employee_no","dtGlobalSheet")

In above example
Empno is variable
Employee_no is column name
dtGlobalSheet is Sheet name

we can use these variable in our application as a
parameter.

Keyword-driven testing is a
technique that separates much of the programming work from
the actual
test steps so that the test steps can be developed earlier
and can often be
maintained with only minor updates, even when the

debugging environment that is round-trip synchronized with

How many test scenarios you have automated? How many time it will take to execute 30-40 scenarios? What SDLC model you are following? How often you will execute your test scripts? Because of some changes, your test scripts failed? When you will update your test scripts? How much time it will take to update? Do you know how to connect database? Do you know the direct method to count no. of records (or) rows present in record set once query is executed? How will you create the connection string? How did you resolve conflicts present in Object Repository? How good you are in VB? How will you work on Excel Application? How will you select Excel sheet? If you want to select 10 sheets, will you create 10 separate objects? Given string is “abcd”. What are the methods you will use to display “dcba”? Drives script – explain the frameworks? How you are updating results for each test? What is start up, configuration, navigation scripts? If you are not able to understand the application (some module), who will teach you? What test cases to be automated? When to be automated? What is the testing process you are following? What life cycle you are following? When you will use Descriptive Programming? Do you have the permission to add objects into shared object repository? (OR) someone will maintain SOR? Do you know how to add objects into shared object repository? How many test cases you have automated? How much time will it take to execute? What is complex in automation? When you feel automation is complex? Tell me one scenario, the complex functionality you have automated in your project? Excel sheet having some datas and some datas present in the application (in table). How will you compare these two datas? Write code to fetch datas from Excel sheet. Rate yourself in SQL? Display the employee name who is getting maximum salary? sal ID Salary name 001 100 002 500 003 300 ID 001 002 003 Ename A B C Have you written any test cases while you are in Automation? Manual Testing also will you do or you will work only in automation?
