Business Aligned Project (Mini Project/ Main Project/ Hackathon)

The deliverables of the Mini/ Main project and the Hackathon will be evaluated by the BU
SME.
Project Evaluation will be based on:

 Source Code
 Functionality Completion, Usage of Features, Code Quality
 Demo of Output

Schedule – Business Aligned Project

Overall Duration: Should start in parallel with the Stage 2 learnings and delivery during the 12th
week of the training program.

There are 3 component as Project Deliverables.

 Mini Project

 Main Project

 Hackathon

The outcomes of doing Mini Project are:

 Enables learners to know on the environment setup

 Any web application is taken and learner try to automate given scenario
using Selenium APIs

 Exhibits learner skills on automation of real time applications for smaller

requirement.
The outcomes of doing Main Project are:
 Collaborate and deliver as a Team

 Align to the BU real business problem

 Build automation test suite.

 Implement the Hybrid automation frameworks (Prototype) with all mandatory

features.

  Automating good coverage of Regression Test Cases.

The outcomes of doing Hackathon are:

 Explore the Innovative Implementations.

 Implement the Hybrid automation frameworks (Prototype) with all mandatory

features.

 Implement Best practices such as creating Smoke and Regression suite.

 Implement Maven on the created automation test scripts

 Explore Jenkins to execute the test scripts periodically on Selenium Grid.

 Explore Selenium Grid to run test scripts on different platforms and against different
browsers.

 Integrate Jenkins with version controller (GIT) and scheduled builds to run
automatically.
