Web based applications are gaining widespread popularity and most of these applications are being developed using agile development methods mainly scrum. This invariably makes the testing of any web application necessary and important before it goes online. Agile methods advocate automated testing, which is the only way to assure faster thorough testing of any web application. In this paper, authors propose a reusable hybrid test automation framework (RHTAF) using page object model for automated testing of web applications. RHTAF combines the features of both data driven and keyword driven frameworks and developed using Selenium 2.0 tool. The primary focus of this framework is to ensure reusability and maintainability of test scripts so as to speed up the testing process of web applications.
Keywords: Test Automation, Agile Software Development, Scrum, Frameworks, Web Applications
