Tiivistelmä
This paper describes two testing systems; Flame and a test automation system using Robot Framework, both of which have been developed within Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy. During the writing of this paper I was working in a Base Transceiver Station software test automation team. In test automation, all tests are run by automation and the tester’s responsibility is to make sure the automation is working and analyzing the test cases when failures occur, report issues as well as planning new test cases. This diploma has been made as a part of the test automation system change -project, where the old system Flame is replaced using an open-source framework Robot Framework. The project planning to switch to a new test automation system using RF was started in the fall of 2021, and Flame will be officially dropped by the end of May 2024.
After the new Robot system had been in use for a year, the usability of each system was evaluated using a questionnaire. The questionnaire revealed further improvement and training needs, but also the benefits in comparison to Flame. Flame still had an advantage over Robot from the usability point of view, but the differences were not radical and will likely improve over time as the Robot system develops further and the system becomes more familiar to all its users.
