Talos is an Appium & Selenium based framework that provides the blueprint for test automation projects. It supports testing for all Android,iOS and Web applications spanning from the setup procedures to providing clear and comprehensive test reports.

Use Case

Talos supports testing for all Android, iOS and Web applications spanning from the setup procedures to providing clear and comprehensive test reports. With a simplified yet thorough setup with the provided Talos guideline, setup time can be streamlined to a 2 to 3 day implementation process whereas other automated solutions may take up to 2 to 3 weeks to setup. With Talos, simply setup the framework base and page model base to create the test script to test the desired page model and test cases. 
Talos Framework’s test script is formed by 2 main elements, the Test Case and Page Model. Test Cases are stored in a test file. The program will execute test cases inside the test file. A test file can include one more test cases, depending on how to group the test case. There is no standard of grouping test cases, it differs among projects. Every Test Case is written as a sequence of actions. Those actions are called from Page Model. The Page Model includes all actions in all pages, and every action is a function. The function of the logic to perform the action.
Once testing is complete, Talos’ overall test report will show the results of the test cases with pass percentage, tests view, suite view and time taken for the test. The reliable and easy to digest report will show passed cases with multiple screen shots in one test script. For failed cases, there will be a screen capture and log of the case making it easy to find the root cause of the failed case, for users to reference at which point in the upgrade did the code start to fail. Users can run the tests at any time to debug their code and successfully launch their project.
Talos is also a highly reliable testing solution suitable for all businesses due to the reduced business expenses in the long run. While the initial cost of automated testing is higher than manual testing, Cherrypicks’ research reflects that if a project will run for more than 11 months and consists of rapid deployment of new features automated testing with Talos will be greatly favorable.
