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.

You need to have valid premium license for Adobe. Only then it would work.

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.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed -- Flex builder 4.5 Premium eclipse plugin with SDK 3.5

Hi ,
We are using Flex SDK 3.5 and using eclipse to build the war in order to make it automation compatible , Right now we tried with Premium version of Flex Builder 4.5 eclipse plugging to build and make application automation capable. But we are facing issues in terms of license , After deploying the automation compatible build we are getting error message "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed".
Previously we are using Flex Builder 4.0 and everything was working fine .
Is Flex Builder 4.5 doesn't support SDK 3.5 ?
Please help .
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards

with trial version (FB basic) you can record/replay only 30
script lines. You need to buy FB pro license to remove this
restriction

QTP Flex Testing Problem

I am trying to test a Flex Application with QTP. I have a Flex compiled application running at the severside.
In my scenario I have a Map (dynamically generated) with has some Nodes. Problem - First: QTP Doesn't recognize it, Second: It doesn't record any action( as per my knowledge If QTP doesn't recognize any Object it takes it as "WinObject" and record action on it, but Here QTP records nothing.
Along with that After Clicking that Node(element) a Flex Canvas Opens up, which also has many Controls like Menu bar Dropdown list, Button etc. but nothing is being recorded or recognized by QTP, except the main Canvas (parent Object).
Any advice is highly appreciated.

I too have an issue with the QTP Flex Add-in and the FlexDataGrid...
Apparently the comumnNames property was not implemented for the add-in or isn't working. When I use the GetRoProperty method in conjuction with the comunNames property it always is an empty string.
What's up with that?
Also, you cannot use the GetCellData method either.
Any ideas on a work-around?

Charts automation testing

Hi ,
We are trying to test flex chart using Qtp 9.2 , qtp is able
to identify the chart but we can not find a way to get the data tip
of the series in the chart.
does flex automation support it ?

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.

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.

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.

Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue"

Hi,
We are using "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License. We are working with the automation of a Flex application. The automation tool we are using is the FlexMonkium 4.1.5.
We have some issues with the automation. I have mentioned those below:
Flex Automation API is limiting the features of the FlexMonkium 4.1.5 as this tool inherits the features and it underlies on the mechanism of the FlexAutomation API only.
Due to the above mentioned point, the dependencies are:
License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed.
License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed.
When we record the user actions performed in the application with the FlexMonkium, we are getting the error as "License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 15 - 20 user actions have been performed.
When we execute the recorded script, it is showing up a error message as "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 51 -20 user actions have been executed by the script.
The complete code of the application is compiled with "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License."
From the adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/682958 we understood that the 4.1 SDK with Premium licence would work fine with record and playback.
My quesion is, Does the same works with this combination > "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Please guide me to resolve this issue, it would really be very helpful for me:)
Thanks in advance,
Anand.S

May I know what you mean exactly by "Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Have you entered Flash builder premium license key in the screen that asks for serial number? If so, it will be Flash Builder Premium version 4.0 and not Standard version any more.
If so, automation should work without any issue.
To check whether premium features are enabled for your version of Flash Builder, please open "Network Monitor" using Window > Show View and see if it is enabled.
If it is disabled, it shows a message that premium license is required.
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Deeptika

Serial number needed to try flex automation

I'm running the Flex Automation Installer to install the
plugins needed to evaluate use of QuickTest Professional for
automated Flex 2 testing. The Installer requires entry of a Flex
Data Services serial number. (The applications I want to test do
not use Flex Data Services, so this seems an odd requirement for
evaluation of the test tool.) How can I get the needed serial
number? If this requires discussion with someone at Adobe who
oversees my organization's Flex licenses, how would I determine who
that is and how to contact him or her? Is it necessary to purchase
a Flex Data Services license to evaluate QTP automated testing of
Flex 2 apps?

I have the QTP configured with Flex and I am able to record
most events. Attempting to record a mouse rollover results in the
following error : “Error: Unable to find automation method
'flash.events.MouseEvent' for class 'name: FlexImage
superClassName: FlexLoader”. My app is a simple image which
applies two states to display the image. It utilizes the
Automation.automationManager.recordAutomatableEvent method for the
target event, within the “rollover” event handler.
Also, I override the “replayAutomatableEvent(Event)”
method calling the
Automation.automationObjectHelper.replayMouseEvent() for the
MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event. The error propagates from the MouseMove
event as reported in the stack trace –Click and ChangeFocus
also are reported. I’ve added the rollover event to the
“TEAFlex.xml” file. Its my understanding that any event
outside of those defined in the “QTP Object Type”
document for each control can be configured in the
“TEAFlex.xml” file, for any control descending from
UIComponent. I received a similar error after extending the
ProductCatalogThumbnail ( Canvas ) class contained in the flex
store code, though this error propogates from Scroll. Can you
determine why ( in the first case ), the rollover is failing?
Stack trace:
Error: Unable to find automation method
'flash.events.MouseEvent' for class 'name: FlexImage

Flex automation and license

Hi,
I try to use FlexMonkey with my project but after 30 records I've this error message : "License not present. With the trial verison only limited records are allowed.". However, I bought the license for Flash Builder premium 4.5.
Maybe the problem is because I compile my project with flex builder 3.6?
Could you help me? I bought the license specially for using Flex monkey...
Thanks in advance,
Bat

It's not a FlexMonkey problem. It's an automation license problem and I'm having the same problem on one of two Windows 7 64-bit machines. I've done all that I can find in the thread Re: Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/834214 but to no avail. As Deepita suggested to confirm Premium status, network monitor is available. I originally installed the trial version of Flash Builder, even had Burrito on for a while.
Assuming it was some leftover file, I uninstalled every Adobe product Bought CS5.5 Master Collection. Installed, same thing. Then I uninstalled CS5.5 MC and made sure that I permanently deactivated as per the suggestion in another thread. No luck.
As per the above thread, I went looking for the following:
On Windows 7 and Vista, the license.properties file is located in: ..\ProgramData\Adobe\Flex
I modified that file's record for serial number (as it wasn't my sn for CS5.5) and had great hope.
I'm still limited to 20 automation actions, at which point it all stops. Solution?

[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.

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
