1. Test Scripts
Test Scripts harness the power of the other SmartTest400
modules by enabling tests to be documented, written, executed
and audited. For a test to be meaningful it should be
repeatable and have an expected result. SmartTest400 provides
repeatability through test scripts. You can use a test
script to monitor database files, replay a record and
play event, check a file rule, compare a database member,
check spool file output and produce a signoff report for
the test manager.
Test Scripts hold the knowledge of a test enabling it
to be rerun time and time again, even if the creator has
moved on. |
Creating and Documenting
Test Scripts: Test scripts can be created against
an application (regression test) or modules (functional
test). The test script is linked to a test type and a
data environment. Test script documentation can be added
or a link to a word document introduced.
Writing Test Scripts: The
test script has access to all the SmartTest400 modules
to enable the test to be defined, with prompt facilities
to suggest appropriate test commands to use. Any record
and play cases created will be stored with the test script.
The test script is a collection of command macros that
enable a test to be defined at a number of levels. These
include 1. Set-up Commands 2. Test Commands 3. Test Successful
Commands 4. Test Unsuccessful Commands 5. `Housekeeping
and Cleanup Commands.
Executing Test Scripts:
The test script can be executed in batch or run interactively.
If run interactively, a script progress screen is available
to monitor the script.
Creating Test Script User Variables
and Input Files: Test scripts can be driven by
data stored in user variables and database files. This
enables a test script to run in Iterations mode, allowing
many different types of tests to be preformed from a single
test script. For example, an input file might contain
many combinations of customer numbers and order types;
the test script would test each combination.
Check Results Printing Audit Reports:
Once the test script has been run, a comprehensive set
of results are available that enable the user to drill
down and inspect the actual screens replayed, database
transactions and spool files generated. Management and
audit reports are preserved with the test script run until
purged by SmartTest400.
