Automation Framework using eCATT

Hi,
Third party tools like QTP provide automation frameworks
and required scripting support to enhance it.Please let me know if automation framework is feasible with eCATT. Is there any automation framework readily available with eCATT?

Hi Ben,
Here is the desription for your query..
Automation framework represents coded form of test cases.In Mercury QuickTestPro(QTP) an excel can be maintained to manage navigations steps(Browser-Menu-Page../transaction..) so that if steps needs to be changed the relevant change can be done in excel and re-recordig can be avoided.Another excel maintains test data related to transactions. Related script can be written in VB script which will read the objects in transaction & realated data from these excels & perform tests.
Here is an example for the same from QTP:
Examples:
There are 2 different Excel files coming with the script.
The first one ("Book2.xls") is performing some actions on the flight application
(note that you still must start the flight application manually before running the test).
The results of the verification statements will be written into the Excel sheet.
The other sheet ("Book3.xls") is showing that when the application is being re-written towards
a web interface, but with similar functionality, you can still re-use the existing test
scripts (or a big part of it). You only need to modify the "Object Map" sheet so that the
logical names refer to the right web objects. It is here that I see an extremely big added
value in this framework. Imagine this ROI... Testers will be lots of times faster in
modifying their test scripts (in a certain way this is not much more than modifying the
object map...). Compare this to the development effort of re-writing the application...
To run the examples, you will need to make sure the initialization parameters in the script
are set correct. Mind that the second test file had an extra column to reflect the 3-level
hiërarchy (Browser.Page.OtherObjects). Therefor, you will need to modify the obj_col_testsheet
parameter in the script towards 2!! Depending on the Excel sheet you supply to the script,
you should be able to test the windows flight application, as well as the web version,
with the same script!! Using this object-based framework, non-technical testers will be
able to create their "test scripts" in Excel and they can be executed automatically...
In eCATT provision is there to create VB script for recorded transaction. Please let me know if similar framework can be done with eCATT.

Using UI Automation Framework to interact with Flex applications

Hi all,
I created a small flash app using Flex builder 4.
I am writing a tool to interact with flash applications using UI Automation Framework which is similar to UI Spy. I've read in so many forums that accessibility can be done using UI Automation or MSAA.
Using the tool, I am able to get all the fields that are present in the application. (button, text, edit fields etc). Now, I want to use InvokePattern on buttons from my tool so that, if I click "Invoke" in my tool, the associated button will be clicked in the flash app. Here, I find no issues to do anything.
But, if there is a textinput field on the flash application and I use ValuePattern of UI Automation to set some value in the field using SetValue(), then I am getting
"System.InvalidOperationException"
even when I tried simple SetFocus() on to that field, I am getting the same exception Looks like, I cannot interact with flash text fields in the same way I do with other window's fields.
I used UISpy and other tools to see if they are doing any better with setting values on a text field. But, they too failed with same exception.
Can someone tell me why this is failing? Does flex/flash support UI Automation to this extent? Are there any examples or links that can help me here?

@riatest Thanks for the info.
I downloaded flex sdk to see if there is anything that will help me. But, In flex sdk, I cannot find anything that would ease my path. I want to stick to developing in C# to talk to Flash applications. What is the best way to proceed? Are there any sdks that I can download and use for C# development to interact with the flex controls? What is the way to go? I seem not to find any good hits in the web as well
Thanks

[Automation] Differences when using Flex Automation Framework ?

Hello everyone,
I recently made some tests with Flex Automation Framework and noticed that using it slightly change the application behaviour.
First, it changes the way container intercept dans handle mouse event as expalined in Adobe JIRA ticket #791:http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791
I'm using sdk 3.2 so it won't be fixed. However future releases (3.4+ and 4.0+) should not have this problem.
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Does anyone experienced other bahavioural changes when using automation ?
Thank,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
The only change which we know of is the one that you rightly pointed out in bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791 . There are no other behavioral changes that occur when you compile your application with automation.
With regards to your statement
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Can you please send us a working sample of this issue as we have not come across this behavior before.

How to fire TreeEvent from within Automation Framework(ActionScript)?

Hi,
I am using the Adobe Automation Framework to write a testing environment.
Here, I am getting the automation object (IAutomationObject) and want to dispatch a TreeEvent using it (possibly with IAutomationObject.replayAutomatableEvent(). I am not getting the correct way to accomplish this.
Can anybody help me?

I'm not very familiar with the Automation framework, but I think you're getting your path's crossed. You're TreeEvent should really only be tied to the tree you're working with and should be the handler for all items in the Tree.
If you're simply trying to automate the tree opening for you...I would think that the Automation framework had some funtions to take an object and an event that should it do probably based on a timer value, but I'm not too familiar with Automation in Flex. From here I can't really help you as I have never messed with the Automation Framework...
I came across this in a quick google, so hopefully this helps:

[b]Tutorial:[/b] Simplify Developing OLE Automation Code Using VBA

INTRODUCTION
Automating Office applications from Oracle Forms can be a tedious, frustrating, and time-consuming process. Because the OLE2 and CLIENT_OLE2 built-ins do not validate the automation commands that they relay, code that compiles without errors often dies at runtime with a not-so-helpful error code. This tutorial will demonstrate how to simplify the development of automation code using a tool that ships with all Microsoft Office editions -- the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) IDE.
The VBA IDE, a core Office component, is a full-fledged development environment featuring code completion, basic syntax highlighting, context-driven help and a runtime debugger. Its Object Browser provides a convenient means of browsing the Word object model, as well as searching by keyword.
For those who may not interested in following this tutorial in detail, I would like to stress the usefulness of the Object Browser as a tool for inspecting the functions supported by OLE server applications and, perhaps more importantly, valid values for function arguments. Whether/not anyone buys the assertion that starting with VBA prototypes is far more productive than pounding out OLE2 code from the very start, they will find the Object Browser invaluable as a reference -- I rely on it exclusively for this sort of documentation.
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE VBA IDE & THE OBJECT BROWSER UTILITY
Try this:
1. Open Word
2. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>
3. Open the Object Browser by pressing <F2>
The Object Browser allows you to visually navigate Word's class hierarchy. Its user interface is a bit crowded, so controls are unlabeled. Hovering the mouse cursor above a control will display a tooltip explaining that control's purpose. The browser's scope can be narrowed by using the Project/Library combo. Typing a keyword or substring in the Search Text combo and clicking on the Search button will cause all classes/members whose name contains the specified search text to be listed in the Search Results pane. Selecting an item from this list will update the two panes below it, showing the selected class, and its members. Beneath the Classes and Members panes is an untitled pane, gray in color, which displays details for the selected class/member, including hyperlinks to relevant information such as arguments, their types and allowable values. If Visual Basic Help is installed, pressing <F1> will display help on a selected class/member. (This feature can be installed from your Office install CD, if necessary.)
NOTE: While it is possible to cut-and-paste the code examples that follow, I highly recommend that they be typed in by hand. Doing so will provide a better understanding of how the IDE's code completion behaves. Use code completion most efficiently by not using the mouse or <Enter> key when selecting from completion lists. Instead, just type enough letters to select the desired list element, then continue along as if you had typed the entire element, typing the next operator in your statement. It really is slick!
HELLO WORLD - VBA-STYLE
1. Open Word
2. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>
3. Select Module from the Insert menu.
4. In the blank area that appears, enter the following code:
Public Sub HelloWorld()
      Documents.Add
      Selection.TypeText ("Hello, world!")
End Sub5. Press <F5> to run the code.
If you switch back to Word by pressing <Alt><F11>, there should appear a newly-created document containing the text Hello, world!.
A MORE AMBITIOUS EXAMPLE
In this example, we will launch Word, type some text, and alter its formatting. For the purposes of this tutorial, consider it the process we wish to automate from within Forms.
1. If Word is running, close it.
2. Open any Office application except Word, such as Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint
3. Launch the VBA IDE by pressing <Alt><F11>.
4. Select References from the Tools menu -- a dialog should pop up.
5. From within this dialog, locate and select Microsoft Word <version> Object Library, then click OK.
6. Select Module from the Insert menu.
7. In the blank area that appears, enter the following code:
Public Sub LaunchWord()
    Dim app As Word.Application
    Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    app.Visible = True                          '!!! IMPORTANT !!!
    app.Documents.Add
    With app.Selection
        .TypeText "This is paragraph 1."
        .TypeParagraph
        .TypeText "This is paragraph 2."
        .TypeParagraph
        .TypeText "This is paragraph 3."
    End With
    With ActiveDocument
        .Paragraphs(1).Range.Words(3).Bold = True
        .Paragraphs(2).Range.Words(3).Italic = True
        .Paragraphs(3).Range.Words(3).Underline = True
    End With
End Sub8. Press <F5> to run the code.
A new Word session should have been launched. Switch to it, to view the results of our handiwork!
TAILORING VBA CODE INTENDED FOR OLE2 CONVERSION
Now, things get a bit uglier. The code listed above gives a good idea of how concise VBA code can be, but With blocks and chained object references do not translate readily into OLE2 code. Here's the same process, rewritten in a more OLE2-friendly style. Note the numerous intermediate object references that have been declared.
Public Sub LaunchWord()
    Dim app As Word.Application
    Dim doc As Word.Document
    Dim docs As Word.Documents
    Dim pars As Word.Paragraphs
    Dim par As Word.Paragraph
    Dim wrds As Word.Words
    Dim sel As Word.Selection
    Dim rng As Word.Range
    Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    app.Visible = True                          '!!! IMPORTANT !!!
    Set doc = app.Documents.Add
    Set sel = app.Selection
    sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 1."
    sel.TypeParagraph
    sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 2."
    sel.TypeParagraph
    sel.TypeText "This is paragraph 3."
    Set pars = doc.Paragraphs
    'select third word of first paragraph and make it bold
    Set par = pars.Item(1)
    Set rng = par.Range
    Set wrds = rng.Words
    Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
    rng.Bold = True
    'select third word of second paragraph and italicize it
    Set par = pars.Item(2)
    Set rng = par.Range
    Set wrds = rng.Words
    Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
    rng.Italic = True
    'select third word of second paragraph and underline it
    Set par = pars.Item(3)
    Set rng = par.Range
    Set wrds = rng.Words
    Set rng = wrds.Item(3)
    rng.Underline = True
End Sub
TRANSFORMATION: CONVERTING VBA CODE INTO PL/SQL

CONCLUSION
It is my hope that this tutorial, despite it's introductory nature, has demonstrated the value of the VBA IDE, the ease with which automation processes can be prototyped using VBA, the noticeable similarity between VBA automation routines and their Forms PL/SQL counterparts, and the advantages of testing automation processes within the VBA IDE. Please feel free to follow up with any specific questions or concerns you may have.

FINAL NOTE: These examples use the OLE2 built-in, and will operate correctly when called from forms running in the Form Builder OC4J. Deploying them to an Oracle Application Server will launch Word on the server itself (if available), which is usually not the developer's intent! Automating Word client-side via web forms requires adding WebUtil support. Adapting the code for WebUtil is trivial -- just replace all instances of OLE2 with CLIENT_OLE2. Adapting forms for WebUtil and configuring OLE support into your Oracle Application Server, however, are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
REVISION HISTORY
This promises to be something of a 'living document'. I've snuck changes through without comment in the past, but in the future, I'll try to document significant changes here.

  * Prefaced boring subject line with text: 'Tutorial:' to clarify purpose
  * Added emphasis on value of Object Browser as a reference

Thanks James, for your kind words. I do hope this information will help folks out. I honestly believe that tinkering around in the VBA IDE will prove highly gratifying for automation developers. It can be assured that learning to make Word jump through hoops is much more straight-forward in this environment. I'm not one for mottos, but if I were pressed for a cheesy motto, I would say: First, make it work. Then, make it work in Oracle!
Once the idea has sunk in, that Visual Basic routines for automating Word are exact analogs to their OLE2 counterparts, we can remove keywords like Oracle and PL/SQL from our Google searches on Word automation which, at least in this context, are the proverbial kiss of death. Suddenly we find ourselves liberated by the possibility of steal-, ahem... borrowing ideas from the Visual Basic* community!
As for links, my link of choice is invariably http://groups.google.com -- if you don't already use it at least ten times a day, you must try it. This is the venerable USENET archive, including the holdings of now-extinct DejaNews. Another possible site of interest is http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA, which may serve as a good starting point for those who wish to learn how to do fancy tricks with Word using VBA.
If these links don't prove immediately helpful, please feel free to give specifics on the sort of operations you are interested in automating, and I'll see if I can post an example that addresses it.

Eric Adamson

PS: I do hope, as people read my posts, with every other acronym being VBA, that they are not mistakenly hearing a call to learn Visual Basic. I say this, not because I believe learning VB would be a Bad Thing, but because I assume that few of us feel we have the time to learn a new programming language. Despite having come to the Oracle camp already knowing VB/VBA, and having acquired a fair bit of experience with automating Office applications as an Access developer, I remain confident that what I am suggesting people attempt does not rise to the level of learning a language. What I am suggesting is that they learn enough of the language to get by.
*VB vs. VBA
Just a quick word on this, as readers may wonder why I seem to use these terms interchangeably. Visual Basic (VB) can refer to either a development platform or a programming language. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a language -- more precisely, it is a subset of the Visual Basic language. One purchases VB, usually quite intentionally. VBA is included with Microsoft Office, as is VBA's development environment, the VBA IDE. The key distinction between VB and VBA is that VBA cannot be used to create self-contained executables. Rather, VBA relies on VBA-enabled applications, such as Microsoft Office applications, to serve as a container for VBA code, and to provide a runtime environment for that code. For the purposes of discussing OLE Automation, VB and VBA are quite interchangeable.

Hello,
Logon to eCATT system , enter transaction SECATT in command field and press enter key, in the test script text box enter the script name with which you want to create the script and once your enter inside the script you have to decide which driver to use to record the transaction.
Say TCD , then in Pattern function select TCD REC and in popup enter transaction code and maintain target system where you want to record the transaction .
Once the connection is established to target system then carry out the process with ur required transaction just as how you used to do manually.
Once recording is complete then save and parameterize all input values and execute the script again with new set of values.
Thanks and Best regards

Why to use eCATT

Hi friends, I am new to eCATT and i read the basics from SAP help .It reads we can use eCATT to test transactions .the example given was for transaction FK01
(Create Vendor).
Through TCD Recording i was able to create vendor and i got some log at the end .
But i am not able to understand:
why to do all this using eCATT when we can directly go to transaction FK01 and create vendor there itself.

Hi Sweta,
eCATT is just a Testing tool that helps an individual to test various Transactions, Reports and scenarios. You can definitely simply run the Transaction and test it or debug a report and test it, however eCATT would provide ease to your testing. Though I dont have any personal experience of having used it, I guess these links might help your understanding.

Testing WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms Using eCATT or any other testing

Hi All,
We are testing WebDynpro Adobe forms (Java). is there any methodology to test Interactive forms not normal webdynpro applications. Especially Interactive form with UI fields like dropdwons, datepickers dropdown values are from BAPI/RFC's in these forms we will perfom actions like send data to backend and display PO created in onther view.
once we repaly the test script all the drop down values are not updated this test scenario we tested with LR.
Is there any procedure to test this scenario using eCATT or any other testing Tool.
Rehards,
Murali

Hi Vara,
You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
[E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
Hope this will help you.
