New IEEE Standard - Active.
This part of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 defines an efficient and consistent solution for Keyword-Driven Testing by: - giving an introduction to keyword-driven testing; - providing a reference approach to implement keyword-driven testing; - defining requirements on frameworks for keyword-driven testing to enable test engineers to share their work items, such as test cases, test data, keywords, or complete test specifications; - defining minimum requirements for tools, which are necessary to fully utilize keyword-driven testing. These requirements could apply to any tools which support the keyword-driven approach (e.g. test automation, test design and test management tools); - defining interfaces and a common data exchange format to ensure that tools from different vendors can exchange their data (e.g. test cases, test data and test results); - defining levels of hierarchical keywords, and giving advice when to use hierarchical keywords, when to use "flat" structured keywords, and describe specific types of keywords (e.g. keywords for navigation or for checking something); - providing an initial list of suggested generic technical (low level) keywords, such as "inputData" or "checkValue". These keywords can be used to specify test cases on a technical level, and may be composed to create business level keywords as required. This standard is applicable for all those who want to create keyword-driven test specifications, create corresponding frameworks, or build test automation based on keywords.
The purpose of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Software Testing standards is to define an internationally-agreed set of standards for software testing that can be used by any organization when performing any form of software testing. ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-5 defines Keyword-Driven Testing, which is an approach to describing test cases in a modular way. This standard explains the main concepts and attributes of Keyword-Driven Testing and is applicable to all those who want to create keyword-driven test specifications, create corresponding frameworks, or build test automation based on keywords. This standard defines requirements on frameworks for Keyword-Driven Testing to enable test engineers to share their test artefacts, such as test cases, test data, keywords, or complete test specifications. It also defines minimum requirements for tools supporting Keyword-Driven Testing and defines a common data exchange format to ensure that tools from different vendors can exchange their data (e.g. test cases, test data and test results)
