Spirent iTest v4.3 The Leader in System & Device Testing
iTest v4.3 Selenium Integration Module Enhancements Updates to Core Features • Highlights of v4.3: • New Selenium Session Type • Improved STC Integration • Enhanced Script Library Support • Topology editor enhancements • Updates to Spirent and Ixia integrations Test Equipment Updates
iTest v4.3 – What’s New? • New Selenium Session Type Selenium Integration Module Enhancements Updates to Core Features Test Equipment Updates
What is Selenium? • Platform and environment for automating browser testing • seleniumhq.org: “Selenium automates browsers.” • Open source • Established 2004 • Major contributors from ThoughtWorks, Google, & Mozilla • Today • Has become the de-facto platform for performing web-testing • Almost all QA teams involved in web testing are either already using Selenium or looking to use Selenium Selenium Integration
New Selenium Session TypeOverview • New Selenium Session Type • Launches the Selenium IDE • Captures steps in iTest • Add Analysis Rules in iTest • Replay from iTest • Backward compatible • All existing Web Session Type test cases will execute using the Selenium Session Type Selenium Integration
New Selenium Session TypeUser Workflow Selenium Integration User actions in the browser.. Captured in the Selenium IDE… Stored in iTest as captured steps.
New Selenium Session TypeBenefits • Selenium is already functionally & feature-rich • Functionality automatically pulled into iTest • Environment Support • Browsers: Firefox (Record & Replay); IE (Replay) • OS: Windows & Linux • Immediate support for new versions • As Selenium supports newer browser versions, they will be automatically supported in iTest • Support for existing Selenium test cases • Planned in a future update Selenium Integration
iTest v4.3 – What’s New? Selenium Integration • Improved STC Integration • a.k.a. “Magellan” Module Enhancements Updates to Core Features Test Equipment Updates
iTest - STC Integration • Today: Three integrations between iTest & STC • CLI – command line interface (~30 commands) • “STC-GUI” (~50 commands) • NTAF (~400 commands) = STC sequence-able commands • Challenges • Multiple integrations need to be maintained • Users don’t clearly know when to use which integration Module Enhancements
Improved iTest-STC Integration“Magellan” • What is “Magellan”? • Consolidate entire command set in one integration • Phase I (available in iTest v4.3) • Integration to use: “STC-GUI” • Now simply called “Spirent TestCenter” • Combined commands from all 3 integrations • Adds “intelligent console”, e.g. stateful, help function, etc. • Other features: • Multi-chassis support • STCv support • Improved results support – aligned with what STC GUI shows • Phases II & III (coming in later releases) Module Enhancements
Command Set 3 1 NTAF Commands - same as STC sequencer (456) CLI Commands (30) Module Enhancements 2 GUI Commands (25)
Command Set “Magellan” Commands (>500) Module Enhancements
iTest v4.3 – What’s New? Selenium Integration Module Enhancements • Topology Editor Enhancements • Script Library Support (SLS) • Infrastructure Improvements Updates to Core Features Test Equipment Updates
Updates to Core Features • Topology Editor • Inheritance • Improved / more powerful search • Multi-select Updates to Core Features • Script Library Support • Improved response mapping & structured data • Platform for supporting more languages
