Can ATF be used for testing the ServiceNow Upgrades

[aya elkappany]

I want to use ATF module for testing ServiceNow Upgrades, it is applicable for UI testing ?

Yes, ServiceNow's ATF (Automated Test Framework) module applies for UI testing.

You can do much more to ease your productivity through ATF in ServiceNow, 
You can test things Like:

1. Basic UI Functionality - Navigation, Forms Interaction, Buttons and UI Action Visibility

2. UI Policies and UI Actions - We can test to ensure they still trigger correctly after the upgrade.
3. Form Validations - Field value population correctly, Fields available on the form
4. Catalog Items and Workflows/Flows
5. Notifications
6. Dashboards and Reports

Hi @aya elkappany 

Yes use  ATF for upgrades but only in lower environment as regression testing. UI testing cant be done via ATF like placement of fields etc.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG ,

Thanks for your reply, but what do you mean exactly be placement of fields?, what i need is to locate certain fields on a form/page, validate the data contents of fields... is this possible?

Hi @aya elkappany 

Placement means, like if you want to check field at 1st position / 2nd position that is not possible. 

what i need is to locate certain fields on a form/page, validate the data contents of fields... is this possible?

Atul: Yes, you can do all these validation. This video will provide you an overview
