Test Automation Overview

Automated test scripts are a valuable way to perform regression testing on applications to ensure that new features or bug fixes don’t break existing functionality.

They typically supplement manual testing and exploratory testing which is more efficient at the testing of new features and capabilities.

For complete test coverage you need to perform the same automated tests across a complete spectrum of platforms, browsers, devices and environments.

Types of Automated Test

There are several types of automated test: Unit Tests – these are coded against specific modules or

subroutines and verify that these modules correctly in isolation

Functional Tests – these are tests that simulate a user’s actions and test that the various screens and functionalities work as expected when a set of scenarios is executed

Performance Tests – Also known as load and/or stress tests, these test that an application works correctly under the planned load and determine the point at which it stops working

Vulnerability Tests – Also known as security tests, these test that the application’s security cannot be compromised and a hacker cannot access secure data or functionality

Feature Walkthrough


Learn and Go™ Recording

Rapise's unique Learn and Go testing method is much more time efficient than traditional record-and-playback processes.

Objects are edited during the learning process instead of waiting for all objects to be recorded then edited.

Faster, more complete test script generation and automatic script updates significantly reduces testing time and gets your application to market faster.

- 10 -


Playback of Tests

When you record a test, Rapise translates your actions into a script. When you playback the test, the script is executed.

Tests can be either played-back through the Rapise user interface, directly from the command-line, or from a test management system such as SpiraTest.

- 11 -


Test Script Editing

Rapise scripts are written in JavaScript (Microsoft JScript). You can run and debug your script using the full featured integrated

JavaScript Editor and Debugger. Rapise includes a testing API, with methods for manipulating

images, spreadsheets, common GUI widgets, and more.

- 12 -


Data Driven Testing

Data-Driven Testing (DDT) is the creation of test scripts to run together with their related data sets in a framework. The framework provides re-usable test logic to reduce maintenance and improve test coverage.

Rapise provides strong support for DDT with the ability to load in sets of test data from an Excel spreadsheet.

- 13 -


Cross Browser Testing

Rapise's cross-browser capabilities are world-class with support for multiple versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Web Service & API Testing

A web service is a unit of managed code that can be remotely invoked using web protocols. This allows you to share your application’s functionality with other programs.

The purpose of Web Service and API testing is to verify that all of the APIs published by your application operate as expected. API testing requires that you test using all the expected data formats and input parameters.

Rapise provides native support for testing web services. API tests can be integrated with user interface tests for complete coverage.

- 15 -


Reporting

Rapise comes with powerful and flexible reporting capabilities that allow you to quickly see the results of your testing activities.
