Testing Automation

hi guys,
Do you use any tools to handle your coldfusion application testing?
if yes, what do you use?
I'm trying to find something that i can for testing that will not involve the developer team

As far as I know, there exist no fully automated tests for normal, data-based applications put together by developers for human users, such as ColdFusion applications. Fully automated tests are suited to embedded, runtime applications designed for machines.
However, you can emulate automated tests. But testing cannot be separated from analysis and design. After all, the most significant tests are created during the analysis and design phase of the application.
In other words, your tests are ideally created from the DNA of your application. That explains why all frameworks for automated testing, like the ones Carl mentions, only help you to create the tests yourself, based on the specific application under development. Naturally, the more the human foibles your application has to take into account, the less will be the degree of automation in the tests.

I am seeking information on thermal cycle testing automation.

I am seeking information on thermal cycle testing automation. I am using Labview 7 to perform an 8 cycle thermal test with a performance test at -25C and 65C with an end-of-line test at the end of the 8 cycles. I am looking for a way to automate. I have the equipment to control the PLC temp. controller. I just need to know if anyone has encountered this type of test. Thanks.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion and example.Well I am finding bit hard to put all codes together.But I am sure that its doable with the technique you told.I am sending you my code for temperature controller which is basically PID based temperature controller and controls one temperature at a time.What I need is to put it in event structure which you used for your application and achieve three different setpoints which are controlled through this code of temperature controller for specified length of time.
I have also written code which you send it to me for different setpoints and dwell times.Finally what need to be done is to put these code together in order to achieve my goal.I am sending you all these codes,I hope they make sense to you.I will be highly thankful to you for providing me your help and suggestions in order to achive thermal cycling with labview.Thanks a lot for giving your valuable time on it.
Please find attached codes.
Take care
bye

How to expose to test automation dynamically generated third party component

We need to expose to test automation extended check box (which is not our component), that is dynamically generated and works together with tree.
So, our application contains the following code:
import org.sepy.ui.CheckBoxExtended;
checkBox = new CheckBoxExtended();
Then all properties of check boxes are set dynamically.
These check boxes are used with the tree, to select any of its nodes.
When using test automation tool (we are evaluating RiaTest), automation tool agent sees the tree, but it does not see checkboxes, and therefore selection of tree node cannot be automated.
Is there any way to make automation tool agent see this check box? There is a procedure for instrumenting custom components, but this is like third party component.
Thanks,
Miroslaw

I am beginning to think that there is no solution to my problem. Let me better define the problem:
1. Automation tool does not see extended check box.
2. The container of extended check box is standard tree (nothing to instrument).
3. Extended check box is third party component which was derived from standard button, and not standard check box (theoretically nothing to instrument again).
4. Extended check box was used in item renderer class of the tree.
Maybe elements used in item renderers cannot be exposed to automation tools (I have tried FlexMonkey and RiaTest, but they both failed)?

RE: Test automation tools for Forte applications

Mark,
There is a basic automated testing program already
supplied by Forte in the examples. It is called
AutoTest.Pex. It records events and can replay them.
It can be a bit tricky and is a bit basic, but
may have some of the functionality that you want.
This is specifically for window / widget testing.
Hope this helps,

There is also TestComplete by AutomatedQA but it is of
limited usage because it is not mx.automation aware and in many
difficult cases reverts to dumb mouse X,Y recording.
And there is the upcoming RIATest that will be specifically

Siebel Test Automation - Anonymous user

Hi,
We have integrated siebel 8.1.1.7 callcenter_enu AOM with LDAP for authentication of user authentication and are trying to use the same AOM for Test Automation.
change param EnableAutomation=True for comp XX
change param AllowAnonUsers=True for comp XX
When we hit the url
http://hostname/callcenter_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=AutoOn
We could see that the user logged into the system is the anonymous user instead of the actual user being used.
When we do the same with DB authentication AOM, the actual user logs into the system which is as expected.
Could you please let me know how can we set the actual user to logon in LDAP Authenticated AOM.
Regards,
Ajay

Hi
Indeed it is, you need to enable Siebel Test Automation in the Siebel server.

Script file for test automation.

I have a file “HPE3631A configure output.vi” (DC power supply). This file I downloaded from NI web for using control our DC power supply. I would like to use a script file that can automatically process and configure the output voltage, current parameter? I do not have to click mouse for change the voltage and current parameter. We would like use this script file as one of our test automation.
What format file can use as a script? Is any example file I can use as a reference (it does not have to be HPE3631A).

I don't have an example. You are free to create a script file in any format that you want. To give you a little help, say you have a comma separated file. The first field could be instrument address. The second field could be a function. This might be Initialize, Configure Voltage,Configure Trigger, etc. The following fields could be parameters that you pass. Some functions would require more parameters than others. Look at the number of functions in the driver and see if you want to duplicate them and how many parameters they require or whether you want to break some of them down into something smaller. When you've decided that, then you can determine how to read the file and parse out the commands. Do you want to do error checking here or someplace else? What I mean is, what if the file contains the word "Initilize" instead of "Initialize". What if a voltage parameter is out of bounds?
Like I mentioned, you could have a LabVIEW VI generate the script. Imagine a front panel text ring in which you have listed all of the various functions. If function b is selected, have logic that displays the correct number (and type) of other parameters required. When the selection is complete, click an OK button to display the new step in a table. A table is nothing more than a 2D string array so saving it to a file is then simple.

Installation Test Automation

Hi All,
When I try to run the test automation install it tells me to
choose a folder to unzip the files to but it doesn't accept ANY
folder.
Help!!!

I am in Japan, using English Windows. The installer GUI is English, but the native Flash Control Panel shows in Japanese.
Flash Player 11 seems to have fixed that problem; CP shows in English.

QALoad and Siebel testing automation

I'm working on a project where we would like to use QALoad, the customer's standard, with Siebel. So far, we've been able to easily record a simple script where the user creates a new record and saves it. The saved script can be run without any error messages. However, no new record is created.
Has anyone ever used QALoad with Siebel and can they reach out through this forum or by sending me an email at [email protected]
Thanks,
Marc

Adobe's been offputtingly silent on the subject. Anyone
interested should check this thread on flexcoders (
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/66918),
which goes into some detail about the license restrictions on the
mx.automation package; a few other alternatives are also discussed.
Marc, from a cursory overview it looks to me like
TestComplete would only be able to simulate keyboard and mouse
events when dealing with the Flash Player--is that true? That can
lead to a pretty brittle automated test environment, because simple
layout changes (which aren't bugs) can really mess up a bunch of
test scripts.
