Automation framework

Hi All,
Out project has around 1 Lakh manually test cases. Now to test those in QTP, we are creating Object Repositories by using recording or adding objects. then preparing QTP Script. with some effort we were able to build Object repository and successfully completed this phase.
But We will give new versions for every 1 week. so they are everytime testcases were chaning. again we are doing recording and creating Object Repositories. It is taking so much time and we were not able to complete it.

So what to do in this scenario?

Amazing !!! You have 1 lakh test cases and you say that every week you will get a new version ?? What is regression here ?? Does those 1 lakh ever count in the regression bed ??

In my view you first seggreate according to the modules which wont change much vs the modules which will change. You have to use automation as a means to reduce the regression effort and not as a means to replace manual.

If your application is going to change every week then use Descriptive programming. But remember, my suggestion is directly referncing your question and not the solution for the problem.

If the change is happening at that frequency, probably your test cases are not a part of regression suite. Before diving into building scripts and coding, I would suggest you to have good plan in place.
