Automated GUI testing - create your own test scenarios
Every software developer faces the problem of software interface test
automation. In most cases we call it GUI = Graphical User Interface or just
UI, which is for User Interface. If test is performed manually, it will take
significant time of tester. The better idea is using GUI test automation
software such as iTestBot.
The software is easy to use and doesn't require any special knowledge to
run. Here is how it works:
- Step 1 - Create GUI test plan. It is necessary to
understand first, what part of the software you want to test. It is
important to find some specific part, not all functions of application.
- Step 2 - Create GUI test script. Run iTestBot and
start recording test script. It works in the following way. You can
select some image pattern from the screen, then make the program to
focus or click on this pattern. Learn more about all available
GUI testing commands.
- Step 3 - Results of GUI testing. With iTestBot
quality engineer can create an output file with some specific text, such
as "Test Passed", "Test Passed with warnings" or something else.
Why iTestBot
Sure, there are a lot of other GUI testing tools, such as
reviewed here. Why
use iTestBot for GUI testing purpose?
- It is flexible. With pascal-like syntax it is
possible to create any kind of conditional or cycle structures (like
if or repeat ... until).
More about supported commands.
- It image pattern based. Unlike other applications,
it is not just record how
mouse moves across the screen, so if something will be changed in
application, it will still work perfect.
- It is inexpensive. Just check
pricing information, it is not 1K$+, it is
affordable for small and middle size developer teams.
The best idea is to try 30-days fully-function version of iTestBot, which
is available for download from our web-site.
