Automation testing with Mosaic

I have been trying to get automation testing to work with Mosaic. Is it possible to Composite Application Framework applications to work with automation?
I have compiled the automation libraries into my tiles. But I can't tell how to switch automation on within my application.

Hi Xavier,
You've already taken the first step by compiling the automation libraries into your tiles. The next step to automate a complete mosaic application is to install and use the mosaic-debug-auto-pkg.zip which has the automation also compiled into the mosaic runtime. This package is not currently available publicly on packageshare for a couple of reasons: a) a bug in gravity (CCF) and b) a limitation in the flex sdk. The bug in gravity has been fixed and will be released shortly in an upcoming service pack. The flex sdk limitation is here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-1496 I believe the mosaic automation package will remain a special-request package even after the release of the service pack due to the complexity of automating a modular composite application.
Another technique you can consider is to use Selenium with an html controller tile. The html controller would use mosaic apis to send events and messages to the other tiles in the applicaiton. The individual tiles would be automated seperately for UI inputs, and then the system-level automation could use the selenium approach. This can be a simpler and more economical option, depending on your application's design and verification needs.
Don.

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding.

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
Thanks so much

Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:
http://www.neotys.com/
Thanks in advance for your response.
Mathew Butler
Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

Firefox 17 crashes when automation testing is run. But works properly in Firefox 10. It opens many tabs while running and it crosses 50.

Hi,
When we run automation testing of our product, it works well in firefox old versions and IE. But when we run it in firefox 17 it crashes. We noticed that in firefox 10, each task in automation was opened in new windows and ran smoothly. But in firefox 17, each task opens in new tab and the number of tabs opened crosses 50 and finally crashes. We tried with various troubleshooting methods discussed in your blog. But no help.
What is the change in firefox 17 that it makes each task opened in new tabs?
Or what is the setting we need to set so that each task opens in new window?
We have hundreds of test cases.
This bug is a blocker for certification of firefox 17 for our product.
Thanks

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Relay Testing with State Machine

Hi,
Yesterday I very kindly had some help from "crossrulz" in setting out the following procedure. Today, the National Instruments representative called and said I should implement my programme as a "State Machine", which I have attempted in the programme attached. I was wondering how I might now implement the procedures 3 to 5 in this State Machine format as it seemed very complecated in the brief time we had.
What I am trying to do is test relays, using an automated test procedure.
The procedure takes the following steps:
1. A NI9472 DO card and transistor drive turns the relay on/off via energising the coil (needs the time period to be variable).
2. Counts how may cycles the relay contacts have operated, this will easily be in excess of 100,000 cycles.
3. Every 100 cycles (again variable), the contacts are held closed, the load circuit (the current the relay is switching, which will be 15A at 30V) is disconnected, via another relay and a measurement is taken via a separate four wire method. This consists of a 6V supply being placed across the contacts (switched in again via a relay) with a 1A current flowing through the contacts, the voltage drop across the contacts is then inputted into the NI AI NI9219 card (this is in the region of 10’s of mA) and is directly proportional to the contact resistance, which is what I want to measure.
4. The measurement is taken and stored and the measurement circuit disengaged, the load circuit re-engaged, and another 100 cycles is counted before the process goes back to stage 3.
5. This process goes on until the relay fails and hopefully a large set of contact resistance data is gathered.
I have no real experience with NI Labview.
I have looked at the basic academic tutorials and have come up with the following programme for stage 1, however I can't get the DAQ Assistant to output every cycle
Would this be a very difficult programme to implement for the novice? The academic tutorials seem straight forward but when I try to do someting it seems very difficult.
Hoping someone may be able to help, thanks

Hi James,
I've tried to implement some logic as suggested. I can now get the 1A coil to engauge after the nth cycle and I think it's taking a measurement, but can't seem to get the 15 A coil to disengauge at the same moment, which is crucial else the measurement will be across 16 A rather than just the 1 A. Any ideas? I just want to get it working so we can get started with testing.
I'm going to get my supervisor to book me on a course at Newbury for future projects, it's very difficult to pick up of your own back.
Kind regards,
Andy

Automator : issue with variable and path to folder

I created a simple Automator Workflow with: A variable "Document Folder" and an action "Run shell script" with this command:
"rsync -E -a -v -z --delete $@ /Volumes/MyBook/Backup/"
I tested this command, It works very well in the terminal. But return me an error with Automator.
"$@" is replaced by the Path when running, I guess my issue is that the content of the variable is " ~/Documents " . When it pass to the script it become "/Users/login/~/Documents".
That can't works.
A solution would be to put in the script the full path instead of "$@" but I would liketo understand why this error occur.
Thanks.

Automator actions return their results as a list of items. If you want your shell script to use the result of an action (for example Ask for Finder Items) as arguments, you need to set the Pass input: as arguments option, and place your statement in the for loop:
for f in "$@"
do
/usr/bin/rsync -E -a -v -z --delete "$f" /Volumes/MyBook/Backup/
done

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Cloud automation testing feasibility using Coded UI 2013.

Hi,
I am unable to find any document which could explain whether automation testing for cloud application could be achieved using Coded UI 2013. In my project the plan is to move all applications to cloud network and as an automation tester I have automated
those application. I am bit confused how to start up the automation. We will be using private cloud, the confusion I have is, will it be similar to automate cloud application like our websites in a network ?
Please provide some details how to start up with cloud automation.

Hi Ahetejazahmad Khan，
Glad to see you again!
Just to make this issue clearly, do you mean that you want to run the coded UI test in Azure?
If so, I think you could get useful informaiton from the MCC's suggestion here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9597e237-d792-4060-8580-64039f29561e/how-to-run-codedui-test-in-azure?forum=windowsazuredevelopment
A blog here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/anujchaudhary/archive/2012/11/02/windows-azure-automated-ui-testing-using-the-power-of-cloud.aspx
Of course, we would think about the supported configurations and platforms here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380742(v=vs.120).aspx
It shared all the configurations and platforms which was supported by the coded UI tests.
If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Automation testing Flash 8

Our project is currently faced with having to build an
automation testing framework for our flash games. We are currently
using Flash 8, flex, and ActionScript 2, but we are wrapping
everything for easy transition into Flash 9 and AS 3 as soon as it
is released.
The challenge with most industry products like QTP (mercury)
is that they cannot programmatically interpret Flash UI elements.
QTP 9.0 professes to have compatibility to Flex 2 through MXML, but
we are not using MXML because it severely limits the productivity
of our designers.
Our flash framework is abstracting all interactive visual
elements into a component library, so that all versions of a
particular game are forced to use the same UI element IDs (for
example: the spin button for a slots game). This allows us to
implement automation testing scripts that refer to that button ID
and not the bitmaps x,y location. So, for any variation of this
game, including localization and branding, i have the luxury of
using a single script to do my functional testing.
Here is the problem however. What technology exists out there
that will allow me to do this? The flash community is huge and i
find it hard to believe that my research has yielded very little on
this topic. I've come across things like MSs Active Accessibility,
but i'm not convinced QTP 9.0 can implement this interface to read
Flash UI elements. I have looked at an open source tool called
AutoTestFlash, but i'm not confident it is robust enough.
Anwyay, what are you guys using to test your flash
applications? Have you automated these tests? Is it bitmap x,y
based, or have you attempted to do what i am proposing above? If
so, what technologies exist out there in the internet ether that
can help us all save time in the QC grindstone? :)
Thanks in advance,
RabidFly

You can try to test the movie using flash player 8, but more
than likely code from flash 6 will not be parsed correctly using
the flash player's engine. You can always uninstall flash player 8,
install a lower flash player and then test it, but that seems like
more trouble than what it might be worth.

Automated Test in C# Need to get at JQuery Data on Page Test

Hello I am visiting an URL using Selenium/C#/IEDriver and clicking around the page just fine (automated test).
Now I have a drop down that is a Kendo (shown)
I have been able to PRINT to output those values shown using:
IWebElement rpt_Listbox = myWebDriver.FindElement(By.Id("fvw-reportTypeList_listbox"));myWebDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("span.k-icon.k-i-arrow-s")).Click();
Console.WriteLine("Listbox after Css click has: " + rpt_Listbox.Text); // Prints << Select >>, etc.
It Prints what I have shown here. Also If you "View Source on the web page it looks like what I have shown and I have included what the "Inspector" looks like on the Web Page for that control:
SO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION:
How do I select one of those options in my C# Code? Can someone just please, please put the actual code here? You can see my variables. You can see that I can print the text of this "listbox". For once in my life I would
really appreciate a straightforward answer where someone just plopped the 4 lines of code I need here - I would be so grateful, as I have helped many with headless automated testing and I just gave them the answers.
Thanks, Chris [email protected]

Hi Alistair,
there is no name for this process since it is not an APEX process. The mod_plsql or
PL/SQL embedded Gateway code is responsible for this. That's also the reason why
this must be configured in the modplsql's dads.conf file.
The insertion of files into WWV_FLOW_FILES is a process which you cannot
influence in an APEX environment. What you can do is coding an onSubmit process
which SELECTs the file from WWV_FLOW_FILES and inserts it into your own
table ... but the file will always take the path via WWV_FLOW_FILES
Does this help ...?

Run Firefox in headless mode, for automated testing. Ideally other concurrent instances will operate normally for other tasks.

I'm currently writing a Selenium 2 (Ruby) automated testing suite.
I would like to be able to pass something that invokes an instance of firefox in headless mode.
This would allow me to run automated tests whilst carrying on with manual tasks on another, standard set-up instance of Firefox.
If this is possible, that would be fantastic.

QTP Flex automated test limited replays

I have been writing QTP automated test for our company's flex
application. My computer has Flex Builder 3 trial version installed
and I get the message "License not present. With the trial verison
only limited replays are allowed." (for the ones with sharp eyes, I
didn't miss type a word of the message, it comes with that typo.)
from time to time.
And today I got the serial number from my boss. I enter the
serial and everything worked, but I am still getting that "License
not present" message when I was running my test. I tried to
uninstall Flex Builder 3 and the QTP Flex plugin and reinstall them
again, but it didn't help.
Anyone has a clue on how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

If you are using static compilation with automation libraries
you need to recompile your application to get rid of the message.

Solution Manager / Quality Centre automated testing query

If we implemenet automated testing of SAP via HP QC/QTP tools and then want to introduce SOLMAN later for controlling testing etc is the SAP Adapter/SOLMAN capabale of pulling back automated tests and business process models to it from HP QC/QTP? Or is there rework to be done in SOLMAN ie you have to start again and build the tests/business processes in it.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply on this.
Did you have any experience on business process modelling in QC and pulling those back to SOLMAN at all? Is that possible if we go with HP BPT for the modelling?
Thanks again
