As one of the leaders in test automation services, the principles along with years of software testing experience have been codified into Indium Software’s IP-based test automation framework, called accelerators – including iSafe and iMobi – whose key elements include:
Test Script Modularity
Test Library Architecture
Data-Driven Testing
Keyword-Driven or Table-Driven Testing
Hybrid Test Automation
These enable the following:
- Shorter regression testing time and at competitive cost to enable quick release of software updates / new releases
- Very high standards of script development and documentation
- Codifying best practices of different automation frameworks, wherein, the test management tools are integrated with automation tool
- Reliable, faster test execution, easy maintenance of the automated test scripts
- Quicker and better RoI
Indium Software's Test Automation Approach
Indium Software follows a process-oriented approach for the successful deployment of test automation: In the assessment stage, the first step is getting the client’s sign-off on deliverables and involves:
Understanding document
Creating an automation test plan
Estimation & schedule
Pricing
It takes 1 to 2 weeks to begin Test Automation and involves:
Test Case Feasibility Report
Test Automation Plan
Recommendation for turning exiting automation framework
Regression Test Results
Test Suite Optimization & Enhancements, the third stage, is focused on maintenance of test scripts and continuous improvement to regression test suite
Indium Software’s Test Automation Best Practices
Indium software’s testing services are process oriented and we follow the best practices to ensure faster release and time to market. The test automation has been codified into a customisable framework and is a test suite:
- It includes iSAFE.
- Is consistent, reliable and maintainable with proof of concept
- Provides effective reporting of automated test execution results
- Enables end to end software application/product automation development
- Facilitates traceability of test scripts for test cases
- Ensures effective defect reporting integration with Test Management tools

Key Deliverables
During the test strategy/planning stage, the team identifies areas of test automation, the best test automation framework suited for the purpose and providing an execution summary as a guideline for the automation process and best test automation Approach.
Focus Areas
- Define the process for the automation suite management and maintenance
- Implement Test Automation Framework and develop Test Automation Suites for Smoke, Sanity & Regression
- Automation suite should ensure that, the application build is stable across all major / minor releases which could include defect fixes or new feature enhancements and extend good test coverage
