  1. Test Automation Tools: QF-Test and Selenium by P. Kratzer / P.Sivera Software Engineer ESO

  2. Introduction to QF-Test • QF-Test is a GUI test tool for Java and web apps developed by German companyQuality First Software GmbH (QFS) • Vendor web site: http://www.qfs.de/en/ • QF-Test pages: http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/index.html • Feature checklist: http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/checklist.html

  3. Introductions & Demos • Demo screenshots:http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/demos.html • Demo video (length 8:40 min): http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/demovideo.html • Standard QF-Test library: http://www.qfs.de/en/qftest/stdlib.html

  4. Typical workflowto create tests with QF-Test • Create new test suite • Define application (SUT) startup • Run SUT (system under test) in QF-Test • In recording mode: perform manual actions (includes component recognition) • Check, adapt, parameterize recognized components (menus, windows, buttons, …) • Use recorded actions as basis for new procedure(s), parameterize, … • Define new test case, specify dependencies and call required procedures

  5. ALMA-OT Test Implementation

  6. Test Procedures

  7. Test Procedure Detail

  8. Test Documentation

  9. Package Documentation

  10. Short Demo • Video to show a test set while it runs • http://www.eso.org/~psivera/VideoOtAndQfTest/OtAndQfTestVideoHigherVolumeImproved.html

  11. Test Results (Report)

  12. Test Results (Run-Log)

  13. Developers support • Intervention on the code: • call during the initialization phase to the method setName() for all GUI-elements • event on a thread other than the AWT event dispatch thread (COMP-5141 and COMP-2905) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_dispatching_thread) • when important changes in the GUI are planned and are being developed. The sooner we are informed, the better.

  14. Problems • GUI test & QF-Test experience required • Adaptations to client changes • Component recognition issues, threads handling (cooperation with developers) • QF-Test covers basic functionalitybut still requires a lot of manual work

  15. Conclusions • Once the manual work is done and the SUT is stable enough so that it does not require a lot of changes at every new release, the automated tests reveal to be very useful as regression tests. • They are configurable, therefore can be run in whatever environment with whatever db and user (provided QFTest licence is available)

  16. Selenium • http://seleniumhq.org/ : Introduction, Documentation, Installation and Download, Tutorials… • Example of a demo: • http://vimeo.com/4671653 • Products: • Selenium IDE • Selenium RC • Selenium 2.0 • ...

  17. Selenium IDE • Add-On for Firefox • Record and Replay Tool • Access to Selenium commands • Save test cases in Selenese or many other programming languages

  18. Selenium RC • Selenium RC components are: • The Selenium Server which launches and kills browsers, interprets and runs the Selenese commands passed from the test program, and acts as an HTTP proxy, intercepting and verifying HTTP messages passed between the browser and the AUT. • Client libraries which provide the interface between each programming language and the Selenium RC Server.

  19. Selenium and Zk • ZK Web Applications can be a challenge with Selenium because ZK dynamically generates element IDs • Workaround: not fully satisfactory • QFTest: just starting with support for Zk • Other products: Sahi: • http://docs.zkoss.org/wiki/Making_ZK_Functional_Tests_With_Sahi
