Automation testing in ofbiz
Locked
 
|
Hi, Is there any method in ofbiz which may help automating the front end testing process? I need to test Ftls. Is there something similar to struts test cases for FTL's we use in ofbiz. Thanks and regards, Sayoke Shome | Technical Associate | Techmahindra Ltd. | Bangalore | phone - 09886412359 | ============================================================================================================================ Tech Mahindra, formerly Mahindra-British Telecom.

Try something like Grinder (on SourceForge). This is one candidate for the in-progress OFBiz suite of testing tools. -David On Aug 25, 2006, at 10:37 PM, Sayoke Shome wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Is there any method in ofbiz which may help automating the front > end testing > process? > > I need to test Ftls.

Some also use Selenium, a Firefox plugin

I just got Grinder up and working today and am very impressed. It took
2-3 hours to get comfortable with it enough to get the TCPProxy to work. I still have jython/python to learn, but you don't need much to get it going. It is the TCPProxy filter that allows you to capture your browser activity and then play it back as a test. That is worth the price of admission right there. What I don't see yet, is the best way to test the HTML that comes back from a front-end test to see if it passes. Is it to compare it to "standard"? That doesn't seem practical because a small difference would make the test fail. I see that there is python interface to Tidy, so i wonder if the answer isn't to run the response thru Tidy and then use Freemarker to process the response to see if the test criteria is met. Doing that from scratch for each test would be prohibitive, so I am wondering if there is some sort of shortcut that, perhaps, ofbiz can help with. I haven't thought it thru, but maybe there are some sort of markers that can be placed there, that could easily be found using the xpath capabilities of freemarker. Maybe those markers can be triggered from the widget definitions. Just thinking out loud there. -Al David E Jones wrote: > > Try something like Grinder (on SourceForge).

The easiest techniques I have seen are: - searching for key strings which can be numbers, names, etc - post-test validation, ie other tests in a series that run after or between UI level tests to check data in the database and such -David On Aug 26, 2006, at 2:09 PM, Al Byers wrote: > I just got Grinder up and working today and am very impressed.

We use actiWATE.
"actiWATE is a Java-based software platform intended to make the test automation process simple and cost-effective." It is Open Source and well adapted to OFBiz. Mainly used for the checkout process.
