2. OVERVIEW OF TESTINGWHIZ™

2.1. 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.

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.

User Manual 3.0

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.

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.

User Manual 3.0

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.

User Manual 3.0

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.

User Manual 3.0

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).

User Manual 3.0

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.
