# Overview

Autonomx provides a complete testing platform for UI (Web, iOS, Android, Win) and API testing. It provides a feature rich and viable testing solution for end to end testing. They’re designed to be fast, scalable, reliable and adaptable to any requirements for ever growing projects.

* Open source UI automation testing framework based on Webdriver/Appium, TestNG/Junit, with maven integration.
* Unifies mobile and web testing, using a common, version controlled code base (Autonomx Core)
* Each testing project is treated as a client for the Automation Core, meaning one central code base for all UI testing projects
* A client can have multiple test projects, as well as multiple platforms (web, Android, iOS, Win), associated with it.
* Modular design. Each project/component is treated as a module,  fully capable of interacting with one another. This allows for multi component and multi-platform testing. Eg. Create user through component A (API), validate in component B (web), do action in component C (Android), validate results in component D (iOS)
* All interaction with the UI are through utility functions called Helpers, which are stable and optimized set of wrapper functions, removing inconsistencies in coding styles and enforcing testing best practices
* Integrates seamlessly with the API testing framework for end to end testing
* Detailed reports through ExtentTest reports

### Maintainability

* Centralization of functionality:&#x20;
  * Helper/Utility functions
  * &#x20;Page object model
  * object oriented

### Ease of use

* Separation of core logic from tests to page objects to backend helper/utility functions
* &#x20;Enforces good testing practices, better logs/commenting

### Cross platform

* Common and general Utility/Helper functions applicable for web, iOS, android and Win app automation
* Webdriver for mobile and web interaction
  * &#x20;iOS and android driver casting for mobile specific functionalities

## Design

* Separated between Logic Core and Client
* 1 Logic Core, many clients
* Each client represents a project
* This allows for centralization of the framework
* Client imports the Logic Core as dependency Jar
