What is the Automated Test Framework?

The Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a ServiceNow application used to automate the testing of applications, customizations, and configurations.

• Test driven development: Testing while developing new applications
• Regression testing: Business logic testing
• Regular checkups: Part of routine checks for ServiceNow
• Miscellaneous testing: Any other use case where testing is required

Use ATF to test:

• Service Catalog in Service Portal
• Forms
• Application Navigator
• Service Catalog
• Custom UI
• List and Related List
• Forms in Service Portal
• REST
• Server
• Email
• Reporting
• Responsive Dashboards

For example, before an upgrade, Beth Anglin is able to create records in the NeedIt table. After an upgrade, use ATF to determine if Beth can still create NeedIt table records.
