Hi Deepak, -Document the automated tests -Create reusable and maintable tests -Build a framework and create testscripts based on it -Set programming conventions and follow it. It will be useful to debugging and better understanding the testscripts. -Always isolate the data from the script. Never hardcode the data in the script. Thanks
