What is Test Automation?
Use of software to control the execution of tests
Comparing actual and predicted outcomesTest Report generationMailing the test reportUI testing applicationTo check if UI elements are functioning
properly
Work Assigned
Write Test CasesDesign a framework for running test casesIntegrating test cases with the nightly buildDesign a UI to run selective test cases
UI Testing
How application handles keyboard and mouse input
How it displays screen text, images, buttons, menus, dialog boxes, toolbars
Different UI testing tools: Quick Test Professional(QTP), Selenium, HP QuickTest Professional etc.
Selenium IDE
Building Test CasesOperates as Firefox add onHas a recording & playback featureTests created in it can also be run against
other browsers by using Selenium-RC
Selenium RC
Allows the use of programming language in developing test logic
Provides an API and library for each of its supported languages: HTML, Java, C#, Perl, PHP and Python
Tests developed on Firefox can be executed on any other browser via Selenium-RC command line
Writing Test Cases
HTML test script is generated using Selenium IDE recording feature
HTML script is converted to a java code, this feature is provided by Selenium IDE
Required logic is coded in javaThe java code can be run using Selenium RC
Pre-requisites for running Test Cases
Selenium RC server should be upApplication war file should be installed in
maven local repository and deployed on JBoss
Framework
Provided the following features:Integrating test cases with the nightly buildDuring nightly build all the test cases are
executedProvides a UI to run a specific test case
Integration with nightly built
1. Performed SVN checkout2. Started JBoss server 3. Deployed war file on JBoss server4. Started Selenium RC server5. Executed test cases6. Stop Selenium RC server7. Stop JBoss server8. Mail test report
All the tasks were performed from a single pom file
Application directory structure was unchanged
Both the directory structures were independent of each other
This simplified the task of integrating test cases with the nightly build
Key Points
Master POMContains SVN checkout codeUpdates app and soapclientExecutes pom-1 and then pom-2POM-1Creates “app-version-uat.war”Installs it in maven local repository
Tasks Performed by POM-2
Starts JBoss serverLooks for “app-version-uat.war” in maven
local repository and deploy it on JBoss Starts Selenium RC serverExecute test casesStop Selenium RC serverStop JBoss server
Executing specific test case
UI was made from which a user can choose which test cases to execute
Particularly useful after nightly build to check for failed tests
UI is created by reading data from an xml file
Key Points
SVN checkout is not performedApplication war file should be already
installed in maven local repositoryTesters have to maintain only 3 files:
SSOA.xml, config.xml and testdata.xls
Targets achieved
Framework was designedEnd to end working of the framework was
demonstratedTest cases were integrated with nightly buildUI for executing selective test cases was
designedSample test cases were written
What I Learned
About the structure of RBSHow software development is done and what
are the different cycles involvedI was given a fresh project on which no
previous work was done, which provided me with the opportunity to tackle the different problems faced during the initial stages of software development
Learned about maven which is extensively used in software development
