In the last article, we discussed the definition of a framework and expanded on it. And we tried to understand that the idea of writing your own framework isn’t quite as scary as you might think.

CEO Steed Solutions Ltd

I’ve been in the software industry for over 10 years now. Graduating from university with a 1st in Computer Science, I accidentally found myself in a software testing career instead of the development career I intended. But that was no bad thing… I quickly learned that via test automation, I still got to do all the coding and technical things that I loved. And I’ve loved it since.

My first role was developing test scripts in VB in a QTP framework, and from there, quickly moved in to roles where I was developing frameworks in C# for companies that had no previous automation in place. Fast forward to where I am now and I am freelancing as an automation consultant, going in to companies to build frameworks or provide support and expertise to those who already have automation in place.
