• The tool is very easy to use by everyone. Anyone who is in need of any type of testing can also use this tool as it is based on Keyword driven.
• User can easily be able to create the test scripts without programming intervention using basic commands in existing methods and Available API's.
• Time saving and whoever doesn't have programming knowledge can easily work with Scriptless Automation.  
• Manual testing team can easily find out the failures inside the scripts and verify the bugs produced during testscript triggering time.
• Rich set of utility APIs available.

Upgrade Automatics to support scriptless execution

For a partner to upgrade Automatics to support scriptless executions need to be done as mentioned below.

Automatics Orchestration

For a partner to upgrade the 3.0 support in Automatics orchestartion Please follow below steps.

1. Upgrade Automatics Orchestration to v3.15 or above since it contains the latest code changes for Scriptless Automation execution. Pull the latest code of Automatics Orchestration.
2. Run the SQL scripts from Automatics_DB.sql file present in the Automatics Orchestration starting from line number 1596. These scripts will help in creating all the new tables that are required for Scriptless Automation execution.
3. Add the new changes from hibernate.cfg.xml file which contains the configuration about the two new tables Automatics Orchestration will be interacting with.
4. Once after the above changes generate a WAR file of Automatics Orchestration and deploy it in the tomcat server. Deployment can also be done using Automatics UI. 
5. Verify the deployment is donw and updated to 3.15 version.

MicroService

MicroService provided the support of API to required for new UI pages added for scriptless automation in Automatics. Hence setting up microservice is an integral part of upgradation 

Refer Automatics 3.0 Microservice Setup for more details on setting up microservice.

Deploy Dependencies Required for Scriptless Execution

Generic 3.0 APIS are defined in Automatics Core , RDKV-Utils(applicable for rdkv executions) and RDKB-Utils(applicable for rdkb executions). hence latest code of mentioned projects need to be deployed to the articrafts.

Refer Jenkins Deployment Jobs for more details on how to create deployment jobs for the mentioned projects.

Utility Parser

Utlity Parser jobs need to be triggered for Automatics core , scriptless-automation , RDKV-utils (for RDKV executions) or RDKB-utills (for RDKB executions) to scan the 3.0 API details defined in the mentioned projects and updated to Automatics.

Refer Utility Parser Jobs for more details on how to create individual parser jobs for mentioned projects .

Configuration Updation

Add the base URLs of Automatics Orchestration and Scriptless Service application in database, which will help in the communication between one and another. Use 'AUTOMATICS_BASE_URL' and 'MICROSERVICE_URL' as the config names for adding the base URLs of orchestration and microservice in master_config table.
