Phrase-Keywords was founded by Omari W. Dixon in 2010 while he was working as a Test Automation Lead at a top financial institution. He was tasked with implementing a scalable automation approach and framework solution for his client's Quality Assurance (QA) team to leverage across multiple software testing projects.

​

The challenges presented by this project led him back to the drawing board to identify creative ways to implement a keyword-driven automation solution. He envisioned a process that would enable non-technical SMEs and QA testers to document test flows using a standardized set of keywords. These keywords proved highly effective in driving large automation suites. At this point, he pushed the envelope further, expanding his keywords into readable, sentence-like structures he called Phrases. This marked the birth of what is known today as Phrase-Keywords.

 

Omari's professional résumé highlights his extensive roles and numerous Phrase-Keywords specific accomplishments since its inception in 2010. In his most recent professional QA role, he pushed the limits of his solution by automating an impressive 121,000+ End to End test permutations for a highly visible, exceptionally complex web application containing over 50 pages and 300 web elements. This engagement clearly demonstrated not only his expertise in designing scalable automation frameworks but also the robustness and scalability of Phrase-Keywords.

 

Having withstood the demands of multiple client engagements and a variety of complex web applications, Phrase-Keywords stands out today as a game-changing approach to documenting test flows and automating web browser actions.
