Abstract :
Automated testing improves the efficiency of testing practice at various levels of projects in the organization. Unfortunately most of prevailing framework design models facilitates automation to be harnessed only for regression testing. However in an agile environment or a dynamically changing environment where the test cases change more often or they vary as per various customer specific branches, we need a more robust model to address this dynamicity. To address the above problem I have first proposed a “Reference [1]” K model based Chameleon model (I choose peculiar name to highlight the model´s main advantage of being able to adapt to the changing test cases requirement i.e. the tests cases are not hard coded but decided at run time) and further discussed over its implementation.
