A refinement of the keyword-driven test approach that provides a powerful framework for organizing test design, automation and execution around keywords. In ABT, keywords are called “actions”. Actions are the tasks that are executed during a test. Rather than automating an entire test as one long script, tests are assembled using individual actions. Unlike traditional test design, which begins with a written narrative that must be interpreted by each tester or automation engineer, ABT test design takes place in a spreadsheet format called a test module. Actions, test data and any necessary GUI interface information are stored in separate files and referenced by the main test module.
