Setting up Automated Testing Framework (ATF)- # Setting up Automated Testing Framework (ATF)

April 20, 2018 [servicenow](/tags/servicenow/)

  Enable AI AnimationHere’s our set up.

## [Scheduled Runner](#scheduled-runner)

We created a local admin account in our non-productions.

Then we added a powershell script to launch the browser to the scheduled
runner.

## [Test configurations](#test-configurations)

I prefer making the records user, the user’s membership as part of the
test to ensure I have a clean, working state instead of picking a user
who may have that role.

Create a base Test, a test you will have everyone start from that
does the following;

- Create a user
- Create a user membership
- Impersonate the new user

- Do the actual test.

## [Some items to remember](#some-items-to-remember)

- Don’t test code you don’t own.
- Test’s should be independent.
- Test good/bad path. Meaning, if you add functionality for x group,
verify it doesn’t exist for y group.
