Old-school KDT frameworks
In some of the famous old-school KDT frameworks, here’s how to automate this test scenario:
Noun-based Keyword Approach. You’d typically construct your test by dragging-ndropping
noun-based keywords from a pre-defined library to a TestCase. Each TestStep
in a TestCase is a keyword call. And each keyword represents a window or a web page.
Direct Keyword-Code Mapping. Inside one keyword, you cannot call other keywords.
Only TestCase can contain keyword calls. This is because each keyword is tied to a
piece of code and that piece of code is not exposed to you for modification.
