EAM (Microsoft OEM Online) is a Microsoft internal web portal used to create opportunities with OEMs. EAM involves creating, managing and searching the opportunities. These tasks are lengthy, tedious and monotonous. Hence automating these scenarios would help testing. The automated scripts would use various sets of data (different regions, languages, agreement types) and cover all the scenarios to be tested. It is a data driven testing. Every quarter the release involves regression testing of these applications. Automation of this regression testing helps saving efforts and time. Regression suite for each application is considered and used as a basis to create automated scripts to perform the regression testing thus saving the manual efforts. A test tool (QTP) is used to develop the scripts. Later during testing phase the scripts are used by the testers for regression testing.
