It doesn’t do real Configuration Management - it doesn’t build the software or perform source control. It just helps us manage the process and all of the test data we generate.
In the last post, I showed a basic code snippet and described a little about how we implement our test scripts for automation. This post will go more into detail about how the underlying objects are implemented.
