E-Tester Basics

Introduction to Oracle Application Testing Suite: e-Tester


How Scripts Are Created

Scripts are visual not code-based.

Scripts are recorded automatically as you interact with your web application through the integrated browser.

Scripts can test individual or multiple application functionalities.

Scripting is the process of creating tests which serve as your baseline for functional and regression testing.

Scripts should focus on actual user transactions.


Organize Script

Workspace: a directory created on your hard drive that stores all Oracle Application Testing Suite related files

Workspaces are used for:

• Organizing the test files for different web application projects.

• Dividing the test for different functions of a web application.

• Separating scripts that will run on the test environment and the production environment.

• Separate scalability and functional tests scripts.


The Workspace Manager

Workspace Manager: interface used to add, remove, and open a workspace.


The Workspace Folder

Workspaces are located in the install path of the Oracle Application Testing Suite (<Installpath>\ets\eTEST”)


What Is Kept In The Workspace…

The different files/extensions that the workspace comprises:

• .mom - e-Tester recorded scripts (Microsoft Object Model)

• .wg – Contains additional information for use in e-Load

• .log – Contains the results of the script

• .mom.lck – the script is currently open in e-Tester and has been locked out

• .scn – e-Load scenario file (saved scenarios)

• .mjb – Job Scheduler job file (saved jobs)

• .ini – Workspace Settings file


How to Open A Workspace…

• e-Tester automatically opens the last workspace used

• To open a workspace, select File/Open Workspace


Things to Think About When Creating Scripts…

What sort of transactions will your users perform?

Refer to your Test Plan for the steps to execute, as well as the verification points to check for.

Try a “Dry Run” of your script before you record it, so that nothing unexpected occurs during recording.

Watch for “Scope Creep”


Lets Start Scripting….

Enter the starting URL of your application into the Address bar.

Previously entered addresses may be re-selected through the address drop down.


Start a New Script

If a new script is not already open,select “File”/”New Script”

or click the button as shown

Or


Start Recording

Start Recording by:

• Clicking on the Record Script toolbar icon

• Or Selecting Run/Record/Start


Record Your Script

As you interact with the web application, e-Tester “snaps” the pages that the application navigates to.


Recording Tips

The page download timer (bottom right corner) increments as the page is downloading.

A page will be appended to the script page when download is complete.

Note: Wait until the page has completely downloaded (“snapped”) before navigating to the next page.

If download has not completed, e-Tester may not be able to reproduce the actions that generate the page on playback.


Record a transaction

Enter http://localhost/fmstocks into the address field

Login: ta1 password: ta

Click the “Login” button.

Click the “Research a company” link on the left.

Enter ticker symbol “orcl”

Click “Search”

Stop recording.


Stop The Recording

Stop Recording by:

• Clicking on the stop toolbar icon

• Or select “Run/Record/Stop”


Save Your Script

Save the script by: • Clicking on the Save toolbar icon

• Or select “File”/ “Save Script”


Save Your Script

The script will be saved in the open workspace folder.

You can click “save as” and select any workspace folder to save your script in.

Saving a script will create the following files.

• .mom

• .mom.vba

• .wg


Playback Your Script

Playback the script by:

• Clicking on the “Playback Script” toolbar icon

• Or selecting “Run”/“Playback”/“Start”


Exercise

1. Record a script that tests the view balance and portfolio– Go to http://localhost/fmstocks– User Name: ta1– Password: ta– Click the login button– Click “View your balance”– Click View your portfolio– Logout

Playback the script and answer the following review questions


Review 1

1. Is this a transaction that a typical user would perform? Why would this matter?

2. Is the transaction that was recorded repeatable? Why is this important?

3. Can multiple occurrences of the transaction execute simultaneously? Why is this important?

4. Why is it necessary to wait for each page to completely download before continuing?

5. What is a workspace?

6. Name two files types generated and their purpose when saving an e-Tester script.
