In Software Automation Testing, the biggest challenge which people face is nothing other then Maintenance and Re-usability,
A true re-usability can only be achieved if you have the right framework developed which supports upgrades and enhancements without making any changes in the core architecture of the framework, and this can only be achieved by developing a 100% generic framework, I know you will now say 100% generic framework is a Myth, well it is NOT, it depends how you are developing your framework, developing a Scope Based Hybrid Framework also know as functional decomposition framework is all what you need.
Nevertheless, as per the title today we are not really discussing about the framework, but a Super Generic Component Building Approach which will going to be the part of your framework.
This COM (Component object Model) has been developed using VB.Net framework 3.5 and upgraded to 4.0 now.
Using the component
Dim MYCOM
Set MYCOM = CreateObject("MyCOMClass.Application")
Some discussion thread around this reference at SQAForums.com
1) Thread : My Beautiful Framework
2) Thread : DataTable Export Failed
I hope this helps, Happy Programming :) !
