Test Planning to Avoid Technical Debt
Technical debt is not something an organization intends to get into. As we get involved in a new venture, or we look to expand on or develop a new opportunity for a legacy market, we think we are making good choices or that we have covered our bases when it comes to development and testing initiatives. However, over time and as demands for time and attention grow, technical debt is a persistent issue. It is common but it doesn’t need to be inevitable. Additionally, technical debt is, like any other debt, something that can creep up on us if we are not aware or alert to its ramifications.

Having dedicated systems running native applications that require maintenance by individual organizations creates a coordination headache that is easily solved by cloud technology. I have been involved with companies that developed shrinkwrap and downloadable software, applications that run entirely in the cloud in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment, and a hybrid of the two models. Each has their own challenges.

- Keyword-Driven Testing (KDT) is a battle-tested method to speed up test automation development and cut downscaling costs in the long run.
- This article gives you the best practices that we’ve crystallized from our 20+ years of helping clients successfully build and maintain their Keyword-Driven Testing frameworks.
- To reap the full reward of Keyword-Driven Testing, you should 1) organize tests into self-contained test modules with clear test objectives, 2) separate Business-Level from Interaction-Level tests, and 3) architect a robust keyword library.
- As Keyword-Driven Testing is a widely adopted method, you can apply these best practices to many test automation tools including Robot Framework, Unified Functional Test, TestArchitect, TestComplete, Ranorex, etc.
