Topic: Keyword Driven Automation Testing

Message

I know there is a Framework out there for Winrunner, called WRAFS, but
does anyone know if there is a Silktest equivelant already built? Our
team has been asked to research the ability for this type of automation
with Silktest. I know it can be done, but I really don't want to have
to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. And if there are no responses
would anyone out there want to partake in helping build a Silktest
version of this which would be Silktest dependent, and application
independant. 

Thanks for your time.

	Actually there's no reason to create anything specific for keyword-driven testing in SilkTest. SilkTest has such operator like ArgListCall which call any function by its name and with parameters passed as the list. So you just need to create frame with required methods, functions. Then you need to bind some data table in specific format to read keywords from and just organize engine which will read keywords from the table and use ArgListCall for required functions. So, the most essention part of keyword-driven engine is already avaliable. Other things ( windows, functions, methods ) are application-specific and you need just to implement them.
