Introduction Testing is not a single step, but a progressive process that helps reduce the risks, defects and pitfalls that are commonly associated with software applications. Automation testing is one method to accelerate time-to-market and save significant money and effort during testing. TestingWhiz is an easy, intuitive and affordable solution meeting tomorrow s automation testing needs. Key Benefits: Saves Time and Cost. A normal testing scenario for a typical web application involves testing over multiple environments like development, QA, stage, production and over multiple browsers. Performing testing activities over such varied combinations can be taxing. TestingWhiz lets you play the same test case(s) multiple times thus saving your valuable time and effort. It helps significantly reduce the number of resources needed for regression testing. Increase Test Coverage. Using TestingWhiz, you can test how an application reacts under repeated execution of same operations. Regression suites can cover every feature in your application that may be difficult to accomplish in manual testing. Highly Reliable. TestingWhiz provides you with reliable results. It reduces possibility of human error and makes testing less dependent on individual tester s capabilities. Reusability. You can reuse the same automation code with minor modifications to test different versions of an application. Easily Programmable. TestingWhiz lets you write sophisticated test scripts using conditions and loops to validate even the most complicated feature in the application. 10

20 4. WAYS TO CREATE TEST CASE TestingWhiz works on the principle of codeless testing. It allows you to build test scripts without the knowledge of programming. The naming conventions of operations and actions are provided in a pure functional language to help you create and understand Automation Test Scripts without possessing strong programming or technical knowledge. Tool also provides you with some sample test cases. You can also view sample test cases created in the tool Click on the Open Sample, in File menu and select the test case you want to view. In Testing Whiz, you can either: Record and Playback Testing Record your actions on the screen as the Test Case and Playback it later anytime to test. This method generates test script automatically. Create your own Test Steps manually We can call this method as Keyword-driven/Table-driven Testing, as it involves writing test cases based on a set of keywords into a table. 20

21 Perform Data Driven Testing In this method, you can create your data set and use it in the Test Case to perform your testing against a given set of values. Whichever method you choose to create your Test Case, you will be required to create a Test File first. Test File can be created in below way: Steps to Create a New Test Case File 1. Create new Project: - Either click on the button in the button bar OR go to File Menu and select New. This will enable you to create a Test Project. 2. You will be presented with the Product Information to enter details about your Test Project. 21

22 3. In order to create Test Suite within the Project, Click on button to add a test suite in the project. 22

23 4. And then to create a Test Case in the Test Suite, Again click on the button to add a test case in the Test Suite. 5. Click on button from the Test Editor Section to add Test Steps in the test case Record and Playback Testing TestingWhiz supports record and playback feature that allows you to record the actions performed in a test case. It then generates the test script automatically so you can run the test case as and when required. 23

24 STEPS: 1. Click on button to start recording the test steps. 2. On the Page that appears, enter the browser control for your test case. 3. Begin testing as per the steps outlined in the test case. 4. Once all the steps of your recording are over, click on button to stop recording the test steps. 5. The tool will record the steps that you followed during the recording. 6. The test cases will be generated accordingly within a suite. 7. After recording the test steps, you can have a preview of the recorded test steps by clicking on button NOTE: Once you have finished the recording, you will be presented with the Test editor populated with Test script generated automatically by the script. 24

25 25

26 4.2. Keyword-driven/Table-driven Testing Using Keyword-driven testing approach, TestingWhiz separates much of the programming work of Test Automation from the actual Test Design. Testers or Test designers can write test cases based on a set of keywords into a table. The test is executed using a driver that reads the keywords and executes the corresponding code. You can choose the type of Operation to perform from the Operation tab on the left bottom side, or you can choose from the dropdown for the Operation column. FOR EXAMPLE: To open a page /browser as a test case step STEPS: 1. Go to Operation. 2. Pick the option "Open Page" from the dropdown. 3. Put the required URL in Value column. 26

27 4.3. Data Driven Testing Testing a particular module for various valid/invalid combinations of data set is a vital requirement before QA can provide sign off for a particular test suite. Testing a module with positive, negative and random data set consumes time and effort. TestingWhiz lets you test an application with different set of input values to be sure that the application works as expected. This is particularly useful while running quick regression cycles. 27

28 EXAMPLE: a) Test a form/page with different input values for the fields. STEPS: 1. Select Placeholder from the Tabs panel. 2. Add a new placeholder. 3. Specify the name of the placeholder <login>. 4. Add the fields and the default input values to perform the test. 5. You can also import data from an excel file using the import button 6. Once the fields and the default input values are defined, you can add more values in the placeholder or paste data from already existing excel file in the placeholder grid. EXAMPLE: b) Comparing data using placeholder. STEPS: 1. Create a new Placeholder; specify its name. 2. Create three columns with unique names to store data. 3. Enter the values to be compared in the 2 columns of the placeholder. 28

29 To test using the different values of the placeholder: 1. Place the test steps in loop. 2. Select Input (String) operation. 3. Provide the placeholder column name in the objects to obtain comparison results in the Object column. 4. Use this syntax ${Placeholdername.Fieldname} 5. Choose the Strings to be compared in the Values Column. Note: In case of nested loops different placeholders should be used. Copy-paste feature is possible in placeholders (after creation of placeholder). 29

30 5. TEST REPORT At the end of the testing cycle, a report will be created which will contain the test results along with the execution log. Report describes the action performed and the Result of the action. A Graphical Test report is generated at the end of the Test Case execution. You can change your browser preference for running Test Case, by using the dropdown icon given next to the. The test reports get stored on the default path - C:\Users\<username>\.whiz\reports on users machine. Note: If you select the browser that doesn t exist in you system, TestingWhiz will select system default browser to execute the Test Script. Test Result details are displayed on the right hand side of the Page. To view any status detail reports, click on that Status. 30

31 Complete details of the test project along with the time taken to complete every step and their status i.e., pass/ fail/ skip/ not run are displayed. The result of the test is obtained on the basis of criteria set for successful completion of any Operation. Click on the Execution Log option to view the Log details. 31

32 6. SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATIONS In order to manage the application settings and preference, click on the Configuration link given under the Settings Tab General Preference Some of the general Configuration settings that can manage as per your preference are: 32
