Automated UI Tester / Genie



  • Automated UI Tester for Adobe® Action Script® is code named as Genie.

Automated UI Tester is a Flash/Flex automation tool that can record user actions on a SWF file and play them back with high fidelity. With other automation tools, automating Flash applications requires instrumenting them to run inside a wrapper application; but with Genie, it just requires a configuration file and Flash Player. So with Genie, users can automate their production builds easily. Genie currently works on Windows and on Mac OS X.

What you need to setup Genie:

1) Eclipse
2) Genie binary
3) Flash Debug version for IE
4) Any flash application

**Genie does not require instrumentation of you flex app for getting access to flex components unlike most tools. 


Limitations: Only works for Action Script 3 based flex applications.
 
Installation:
Genie setup can be done in 5 minutes flat once the per-requisites are installed.
 
You will need the following prerequisites.
1. Eclipse 
2. Adobe Flash Debugger 

For installation, copy the Genie-binary.zip file from http://sourceforge.net/adobe/genie/wiki/Home/ and follow the steps in Userguide.
Adobe has setup a Genie discussion forum as well, which can be accessed from http://sourceforge.net/adobe/genie/discussion/general/
 
Important:
Once Genie is setup, you will see the below icon on every flash application. If you see the arrow sign in green, then Genie and Eclipse are setup correctly, you can simply click on that green arrow to start recording. On stopping the recording, Genie popups a dialog box which has the java code, which you can copy and use.

            //Initialize Genie class.
            g = Genie.init(l);
          
            //connect to app
            SWFApp app1=g.connectToApp("test");

//Get an object from app and enter text into it

            System.out.println(host.isVisible());
            //host.click();

//Clicking on images in the application

            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
        finally
        {
            //Invoke stop() method to perform clean up steps.
            // If stop() does not run then socket connections do not close and JVM does not exit.
            g.stop();

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

Image
If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
