Quality On Time - Maturity of Applications

Mature Applications: Straightforward scripting,


--AUT is stable: slight risk to script base per change in AUT

New Applications (can expect changes in windows/objects/navigational paths)

--Considerable risk to existing script base as AUT changes
--Affects "granularity" of the test case

If risk to existing script base is moderate of high

--Consider a "State Navigation" component to the Framework
--Allows navigational components of a test to be consolidated for ease of maintenance
--Must understand the "Anatomy of a Test Case"
