Looking for recommendations about available command line tools that can make HTTP connections to a PHP-based
application that’s on top of a WAMP stack.
Can anyone share past experiences with this?
TestComplete 6
Today automated testing plays a vital role in many software development projects. Automated software testing has long been thought critical for large development organizations, but is often considered to be too expensive and difficult to implement for smaller companies.
AutomatedQA’s TestComplete breaks this stereotype. It delivers automated functional, unit, regression, manual, data-driven, object-driven, distributed and HTTP load, stress and scalability testing in one easy-to-use and totally integrated package at an affordable price.
TestComplete is a full-featured environment for automated testing of Windows, .NET, Java, WPF (XAML) applications, web pages, web servers and web services. It has been designed to free developers and QA departments from the massive drain on time and energy required by manual testing.
TestComplete is systematic, automated, and structured testing tool, with superior support for .NET, Java, Visual C++, Visual Basic, WPF (XAML), Delphi, C++Builder and web applications. It is equally oriented for testing 32-bit and 64-bit applications. With TestComplete you can also test PowerBuilder, FoxPro, Access and other applications.
TestComplete is the ultimate solution to perform nightly tests and to help you get reliable daily builds of your software.
TestComplete tools and features let every member of your team, developers and non-developers, no matter how technically savvy, contribute to your testing projects. Once you start using TestComplete, you will be able to turn every test run into a key contribution to your overall development efforts. TestComplete will keep your projects on schedule and on spec, the team confident, and the work 100% productive.
With TestComplete you and your team can implement comprehensive software testing strategies, “automating the non-automatable†for maximum return on investment:
“In my opinion, [TestComplete] is a must-have tool for any software developer who believes in applying a rigorous testing methodology to his products. The ability to work with Visual C++, Visual Basic, C++Builder, Delphi, Java and .NET applications means that you’re virtually getting several tools in one, and the wide variety of scripting languages means you can work in whatever language you’re most comfortable with. Even if you have no interest in automated testing procedures, [TestComplete’s] fascinating ability to ‘automate the non-automatable’ is sure to find a use on your desktop!†Dave Jewell, Delphi Magazine

Writing a test case
Introduction to Test Cases Best Practices
What is a Test Case ?•A description of inputs, execution instructions and expected results. • •Created for the purpose of determining whether a specific software feature or function works correctly or a specific requirement has been satisfied. •
Anatomy of a Test Case•1. Purpose •a short summary of what is being tested •(Test Requirement) •2. Description •How this test works at a high-level •3. Pre Requisites •What is needed to make this test run •4. Parameters •If data driven, list of data •5. Test Steps & Expected Results •
Standard Naming Criteria
Test Type•Pos – Testing with positive values, expecting a successful test outcome •Neg – Testing with negative values, expecting test to fail •Boundary – Testing to the extreme acceptable limits: upper limit plus 1 and lower limit minus 1, expecting test to fail •Spec Char – Testing using special characters; pass or fail depending on requirement validation criteria
7 Sins of Test Case Design§Making cases too long (too many steps) §Incomplete, incorrect or incoherent setup (pre-requisites) §Leaving out a step or step out of order. §Calling out a field that has changed or no longer exists §Confusion as to whether the tester or system does the next step §Unclear what constitutes a pass or a failure §Failure to clean up after test case (post-conditions)
New to QTP 9.2
I have recently started coding in QTP 9.2.
Hence one can easily contemplate my position about the entire genre of Automation Testing, and that would essentially mean that I am not well accustomed to the various coding conventions and syntax to be precise. Therefore any insights, tips, advise would really be very helpful in my endeavour to become a good automation tester.
My request to one and all is that, it would really be very helpful if I could get to some reliable(sites which have a proven track record of providing quality study material) websites, tutorials which would eventually be very instrumental in building a solid base in Automation Testing.
P.S. I have already gone through some websites, but didn’t find them to be very useful. Also, I have downloaded the QTP 9.5 evaluation version software from HP’s site, but it is not getting installed in my machine, giving some unusual error, which says (some name).dll not found in the package.
