Addition by Abstraction: A Conversation About Adding Value to an Automated Test Suite Though Dynamic Coding and Abstraction Concepts

Jerren Every, Huntington National Bank

An overview of common dynamic coding and abstraction ideologies applied to a ruby cucumber test automation framework. The goal of these practices is to maximize reuse by moving from hard coding to dynamic coding and to an ideal level of abstraction where adaptability is baked into the software. Ideologies will be applied to helpers, YAML files, page objects, step definitions, and gherkin.
