A Sampling of Tools
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes51 views
This document provides an overview of common tools used for test automation, including frameworks, runners, drivers, reporting tools and build systems. It discusses factors to consider like the technology stack, skills of those writing and running tests, and how test results will be viewed. Popular automation stacks like HP QTP, FitNesse, Eclipse/JUnit/Selenium/Hudson and Cucumber are described. UI drivers like Selenium, Watir and desktop testing tools are also covered. Common challenges around test design, organization and synchronization are discussed along with approaches to address them.

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// And now use this to visit Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Find the text input element by its name
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
// Enter something to search for
element.sendKeys(”Agile Testing Workshop");
// Submit the form. WebDriver will find the form using the element
element.submit();
// Check the title of the page
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
}

A Sampling of Tools
- 1. A Sampling of Tools Benefits and Challenges Dawn Cannan @dckismet http://passionatetester.com dcannan@gmail.com George Dinwiddie @gdinwiddie iDIA Computing, LLC gdinwiddie@idiacomputing.com Agile Development Practices West 2011 Agile Testing Workshop Tuesday, June 7, 2011 Check http://idiacomputing.com/publications.html for an updated copy of these slides
- 2. “Okay, so I need test automation” “Test Automation” has many pieces Frameworks Runners Drivers (like Browser Drivers) Reporting tools Build Systems What do these all mean?
- 3. Understanding Your Needs Know your technology stack Development stack (database, web server, etc) Programming language(s) Who will be writing tests, and what are their skills? Who will be running tests? Who will need to see test results, and how?
- 4. Layers of Test Automation
- 5. Common Stacks HP Quick Test Pro (Editor, Runner, Reporter) FitNesse (Editor, Runner, Reporter) Eclipse/jUnit/Selenium/Hudson (Editor, Runner, Driver, Reporter) Cucumber (Runner, Reporter) Robot Framework (Runner, Reporter)
- 6. UI Drivers Browser Drivers Selenium/WebDriver Watir Capybara HTMLUnit .NET Desktop Apps White Java Abbott SWTBot GUIDancer
- 7. Below-the-UI Drivers FitNesse Tests written in wiki page “Fixtures” that call directly out to source code Cucumber Tests written in plain text files Many languages: Java, Ruby, .NET
- 8. Selenium/WebDriver public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); // And now use this to visit Google driver.get("http://www.google.com"); // Find the text input element by its name WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q")); // Enter something to search for element.sendKeys(”Agile Testing Workshop"); // Submit the form. WebDriver will find the form using the element element.submit(); // Check the title of the page System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle()); } }
- 9. Cucumber Feature: Google Search As a casual internet user I want to find some information about the Agile Testing Workshop So that I can learn how to be the best tester I can be Scenario: Search for Agile Testing Workshop Given I am on the Google Home Page When I search for ”Agile Testing Workshop" Then I should see a link for SQE in the results
- 10. Robot Framework Test Case Action Argument Search for Agile Testing Workshop Go to the Google home page Search for Agile Testing Workshop The results should contain A link for SQE
- 11. Common Challenges And How to Tackle Them
- 12. Design of the System Older systems may not be written in a “testable” way Business logic may be scattered across multiple layers Try to find the separation, and find test cases that fit based on where the logic is Try to push test cases as low-level as makes sense
- 13. Test Management/Organization Where will test cases be stored? How will suites of tests be executed, and when? How are they organized? Around components of the system? Around stories? Tests can be tagged in most automation systems Continuous Integration systems can execute groups of tests
- 14. Web Testing: Locators How to uniquely identify objects to interact with Sometimes, many identifiers are dynamic Xpath //div[contains(@class, ‘article-heading’)] CSS Selectors css=div.article-heading
- 15. Web Testing: Synchronizing Timing of rendering of objects with interacting with them Most common solution: Extensive use of “waitFor…” functions for each element Ajax can make this tricky Work with developers to be sure of what events are necessary to track interesting objects
