Need for Automating Testing and

Configuration Data MigrationTesting

• Testing is never ending

• Team size varies

• Impact of Testing due to delays

• Accuracy

• Test Data Generation

• Load Testing and Performance Tuning

Configuration Data Migration

• Version control of Configuration data

• Selective Config Migration

• Multiple phases of projects

• New Modules

• GTM

• Fleet Management

Requirement and Tool Mapping

Requirement Tool What it Does Resource

• UI Testing Selenium Web UI Testing http://seleniumhq

.org/

• Data Driven UI Testing TestNG Data Driven Selenium Testing http://testng.org/

doc/index.html

•Integration Unit Testing

•Functional Testing

•Regression Testing

•Load Testing

SOAP UI Functional Testing/Integration Unit

Testing

i.org/

• Extracting Config Data

•Converting Config Data

from One Domain to

another

OTM Python Scripts Extracts data into CSV or XML

• Executing OTM python

scripts

•Integrating with client

Version Control Tool

•Executing automated test

suite (SoapUI,

Selenium+TestNG)

•Executing XSL

transformation to generate

customization report

•Converting data from one

domain to another

Apache Ant Build Automation Tool http://ant.apache

.org/

Selenium

• Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web testing

• Selenium has a IDE which is a Firefox add-on

• To install Selenium download and install the Firefox add-on from

seleniumhq.org

Selenium IDE

1. Record UI Actions to create

Test Case4. Control Speed

3. Option to create

multiple Test Cases

and group them

into Test Suite

5. Playback Test Suite for Testing

2. Option to Edit the Test Case

Selenium IDE

• Display the Result of Testing

• Tips for OTM• Try to use the direct

URL to finder screen

(Screen Set )to avoid

menu changes and

Selenium is more

efficient with single

Window than multiple

frame.

• Prefer “Always open

in same window” as

Selenium is not that

efficient with multiple

windows

• Introduce delays

using

setSpeed("500") and

use

waitForPageToLoad("

30000") and

“AndWait” actions

Selenium IDE script generation

• Export Test Case in a language of your choice Java,

Python, PHP, Ruby etc

Selenium RC + TestNG

• Selenium RC is a tool to run Selenium test case using

standalone scripts

• Supports Multiple Browsers and scripting language

• Test Case script template is generated using IDE

• TestNG is java and XML based Test Framework

• TestNG has standard functions for SeleniumRC

• Combination of SeleniumRC+TestNG ideal for Data

Driven testing( Data in Spreadsheet etc)

Data Driven Testing using Selenium

RC+Test NG<suite name="Suite" parallel="none">

<parameter name="selenium.host" value="localhost" />

<parameter name="selenium.port" value="1235" />

<parameter name="selenium.browser" value="*iexplore" />

<parameter name="selenium.url" value="http://consapp07/" />

<parameter name=“file.location" value=“c:/otm/test/" />

<test name="Test" preserve-order="false">

<classes>

• The TestNG program

uses Data from

spreadsheet and calls

Selenium

SoapUI

• Free and Open Source Functional Testing

Tool

• Started as a web service based SOA testing

tool

• Good graphical interface and powerful

features

• Wide user community

• Has licensed commercial version (SoapUIPro)

SoapUI for testing in OTM projects

• Leverage integration framework of OTM

• Can help OTM projects with the following

testing needs

• Integration Unit Testing

• Functional Testing

• Regression Testing

• Load Testing

Setup

• Import OTM/GTM WSDL file to create project

(OTM/GTM WSDL Can be obtained from Business Process

Automation > Integration > Integration Manager > Retrieve

WSDLs.

• You may have to Increase JVM memory for WSDL to

load

Note: The JVM parameter can be modified by editing the soapui.bat file under the bin folder and

editing the following line and making the change as highlighted in this case it is set to 2GB

set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties "-

Dsoapui.home=%SOAPUI_HOME%\"

SoapUI with Sample Test Case

Test Case

Enclose the OTM Transmission within a soap envelope

The Transmission should have the namespace (xmlns)properly

defined

Properties are used to generate key fields

Scripting in Soap UI

• Java based scripting language Groovy is used

• Helps with generating random numbers, dates and

other data to be used in testing

• Can also be used to read data from spreadsheet for

data driven testing

SoapUI Assertion

• Xpath and Xquery based assertion

• You can compare on status, cost, weight, volume etc

• You can also check if an element is present in XML

and the number of lines etc

SoapUI Report

• Report Using Commercial

SoapUIPro Version

• Basic Report using Free SoapUI

version

SoapUI for load testing

• Any Test Case can be configured to be load tested

• Right click on test case and click on new load test to start a load test

• The test

strategy

can be

changed

according

to

requirement

SoapUI for load Testing

WebserviceSoap UI

OTM Application Server

DB

• OTM Performance Reports(EventDiagnosticetc), top ,sar

AWR. ADDM, SQL Trace

SoapUI in OTM projects

• Create Unit Test Cases during Integration Mapping

• Test Case can be reused for Load Testing

• Data Driven Testing is possible with scripting

• MockService can be used for creating Test Stubs

• Link Unit Test cases already created to create

Functional Test Cases

• Use Topic Interface to execute Bulk Plan using

Integration

Configuration Migration using Apache

Ant

• ClientUtil.py OTM python script provides option to

extract and load data from OTM tables

• Uses ant scripts to call ClientUtil.py and uses

standard task available with ant for the following

• Integration to Version Control tool

• Integration to testing tool for regression testing

• Automating manual processes

Apache Ant

• Open source build automation tool

• Standard Tasks available to integrate with

Version Control tools and Testing Tools

• Has various standard tasks available to

automate manual process and execute scripts

• XML Build file is created with the logic to

automate the config migration

Setup

• Install Python and OTM Python Scripts (Refer

“Configuring Python on a Client PC” section in Admin

Guide)

• Install latest version of Apache

Ant(http://ant.apache.org)

• Install pyanttasks

(http://code.google.com/p/pyanttasks/)

• Create an ant build.xml file with the Configuration

tables to be exported and imported and other tasks

Sample Logic of the Ant Build File

• Run Ant Task’s to extract data from Master Domain

using OTM Scripts

• Run Ant task to clean up any table files which require

special handling like removing domain hardcoding etc

• Execute Ant Task to integrate with client version

control tool

• Run Ant Tasks to update transactional client domain

• Run XSLT using Agent data XML’s to get Documents

• -----------------Restart OTM-------------

• Execute automated test cases

Apache Ant Build File

Ant Task for importing and exporting

into a table

• Refer Data Management Guide for ClientUtil.py usage

Exporting Data Importing Data

Calling Version control and Testing

Tool using ant

• Calling Version control and Testing tool

Closing Thoughts

• Each of the Tools can be used by itself

• Evaluate Commercial Tools if you have option

• Put a process in place for automating testing

• Check license of open source tools if you are planning

to use them

• Have a long term view with testing requirement

• Each of the tools have lot of training material in the

internet (youtube.com has videos on how to use)
