1) Is STAF useful to automate test cases?/ if yes does it recognize
objects?/ if not what are automation tools STAF supports?
Yes, Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is used by hundreds of
companies to automate test cases.
What kind of "objects" are you referring to?
2) How to link STAF to a web application on windows environment?
I'm not sure what you mean. STAF provides support (APIs) for many
different programming languages (e.g. Java, C/C++, Perl, Python, Tcl), as
well as via shell scripts and the command line. Thses APIs allow you to
submit STAF service requests. STAF externalizes its capabilities through
services. A service provides a focused set of functionality, such as,
Logging, Process Invocation, File System, etc. STAFProc is the process
daemon that runs on a machine which accepts requests and routes them to
the appropriate service. These requests may come from the local machine or
from another STAF Client. Thus, STAF works in a peer environment, where
machines may make requests of services on other machines.
3) How to set up a test bed (test environment) in windows, which is
required to write the test automation scripts , execute them on an
application, and monitor the results?
STAX is an execution engine for STAF that can help you automate the
distribution, execution, and results analysis of your testcases. STAX
also provides a powerful monitoring application which allows you to
interact with and monitor the progress of your STAX jobs. Some of the
main features of STAX are: support for parallel execution, user-defined
granularity of execution control, support for nested testcases, and the
ability to control the length of execution time. Using these
capabilities, you can build sophisticated scripts to automate your entire
test environment.
For more information on STAF, see the "Getting Started with STAF" and the
"STAF User's Guide" available via the STAF documentation webpage at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/docs.php.

I also recommand that you take the STAF/STAX online education provided at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/education.php.
4) Can we implement keyword driven and Data Driven automation frame work
on STAF? If yes HOW?
STAF is not a GUI automation test tool.
5) How to maintain Test script Batches in STAF?
I'm not sure what you mean.

Re: [staf-users] Need help
Hi,
Can anyone provide simple tutorial or material on Automating manual test
cases, enhancing the scripts, batching and maintaining the scripts, and
executing and monitoring the results of STAF.
Thanks and Regards,
