Learn more about Test Studio here

Telerik Test Studio got out of box feature to automate test for image verification. You can verify, whether image has been changed or distorted in application without writing any script. In this post we will take a look on, “How can image verification test can be automated in Test Studio”

Let us consider that there is web application with an image as below,

clip_image001

To do verification around this image, start recording the test. Once application is launched for recording, select Enable or Disable over hover option from Test Studio control panel docked in recording browser window,

clip_image002

This will allow you to select image on DOM. Put mouse for some time and you will get a blue bubble.

clip_image004

On clicking of blue bubble you will get option to Image Verification.

clip_image005

Next you need to click on Image Verification. On clicking you will get Image Verification dialog box.

clip_image007

In dialog box you can configure various options like,

  • Verify entire image
  • Verify certain area of image

To do exact match you need to put Total Difference as 0. Recommended is to put in between 1 to 5 %. If you want to verify certain area of image then uncheck Verify Entire Image checkbox and configure X axis, Y axis, Width and Height value.

I have recorded a very simple test for image verification with two steps as below. You can see that error tolerance has been set to 2%.

clip_image002

Assume if test fails in image verification step then you will get information as below that Images are not the same.

clip_image004[6]

We just learnt that Test Studio allows us to perform automation of image verification without writing any script. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.

Learn more about Test Studio here

While talking to customers I come across one common question that, “How can we change default waiting time to find element for a particular Test Step? “

Let me start with explaining this question little bit more. So when you record a test, TestStudio saves information about elements in Element Repository. While executing test, TestStudio try to identify element in Element Repository on basis of Identification Logic saved. TestStudio waits for 30ms to find element.

Now there could be scenario when 30ms is not enough and you want to change this default wait on step value. Let us learn how can we change this?

To change default wait to find element in a step, click on edit steps. You will get an option of UseStepWaitOnElements. You need to check the check box as given below.

image

Once you check this check box, next go to step property. There you will find WaitOnElement property field editable. Here you need to put desired wait time to find an element for a particular step.

clip_image001

This is what all you need to do to change default wait time for elements. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.

Learn more about Test Studio here

In one of customer demo, I came across a question that how we could use test scripts recorded on different machine or rather an existing test script to create a new test in Test Studio.

This can be done very easily in Test Studio. Each Test Project in Test Studio can be opened in File system. Let us say you want to use Test1 to create another test. So right click on Test1 and from context menu select Show in Windows Explorer

image

On File system you will find Test Studio Test file. You need to use this Test Studio Test File to create new test with existing scripts.

clip_image002

Next to use existing test script, right click on Test Project you get option to Add Existing Test in content menu.

clip_image004

Browse to existing Test Studio Test File you want to use to create new test. Select Test File click on Open.

clip_image006

On clicking on Open you will find that you have created new test with existing test. Newly created test will have same name as of existing test. If you want you can rename test by right clicking on the test and selecting rename option from context menu.

So just we learnt that it is very simple to use existing test scripts to create new test in Test Studio. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.

How to configure Identification or Find Logic of Element in Test Studio

Posted by

0

In this post we will take a look on how to configure Find Logic of an element in Test Studio…

Being a Test Professional while automating test there is one common question all of us are worried about and question is,

Will Test fail if id of element being changed in development? Or what will happen if Element id is changed?

Yes Test will fail but there is a way you can change configuration and Find Logic

Test Studio allows you to change Find Logic at the project level. By Default Test Studio search an element on

  • Id of element
  • Name of element

You can browse to find logic setting of Test project by clicking on

Project -> Show Setting

clip_image002

In Project Setting dialog box click on identification logic option. Here you can find identification logic and change it as per requirement to your project.

clip_image004

As you can clearly see that by default Test Studio find an element on its Id. If you believe that ID of elements are very much likely to be changed with each development cycle then you may opt to find an element on its other property. If you believe that Name of the elements are not expected to change frequently then you can consider to change project setting to find an element on its Name attribute.

To change Find Logic select any attribute then click on up/down arrow to change its position. For example Name is at second from top. To make it first attribute on which Test Studio will find element select Name and then click on up arrow button to bring it at the top in the list.

clip_image006

In this way you can configure Find Logic. You may notice that if required you can add new Tag to list as well. So we just witnessed that Test Studio as automated testing tool is very flexible and allows us to configure Find Logic as our own requirement.

Learn more about Test Studio here

More you meet people more questions you get. I love this part of my job, meeting and answering people queries. I usually talk to Test Professional who are doing manual testing. So some of their questions are very basic and this is expected because they are not coming from coding or programming background.

Recently in one of seminar I came across a question

“How can I use MS Unit Test Assertion in a Test Step while automating test with Test Studio? “

Answer of this questions is in three steps,

Step 1:

Add reference of Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework dll in Test Project

Step 2:

Create a coded step

Step 3:

Write Assertion in test

Add Reference

There are in two ways you can work on Test Studio. Either on Visual Studio plugin or on Test Studio standalone version.

Adding reference in Visual Studio is simpler. Right click on test project and from context menu select Add Reference. Browse to Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll library and add reference in test project.

Even though you have added reference in Visual Studio make sure that you have added reference in test project opened in standalone version else you will get exception.

image

To add Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll assembly in Test Studio standalone version you need to follow following steps,

Select Project option in top menu

image

Click on Show Settings in project tab

clip_image001

On clicking on Show Settings you will get Project Settings dialog box. In dialog box click on Script Options. To add assembly reference click on Add Reference.

clip_image003

When you clock on Add Reference Test Studio will open File Chooser dialog box. In that browse Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll assembly reference location in file system and select that to add as reference in current Test project.

Create a coded step

To create Coded Step in select Test and from menu

image

You will find coded step added as below,

clip_image001[6]

Write Assertion in Test

Once Coded step is added you can write any assertion. To validate I am writing a very simple assertion as below,

You can view below code in Visual Studio,


[CodedStep(@"New Coded Step")]

 public void WebTest_CodedStep()
 {
 Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert.AreEqual("TestStudio", "TestStudio");

}

In Test Studio standalone version codes step will look like as following,

clip_image002

Now go ahead and execute test. You should able to get test passed successfully as given below,

How to work with If-Else logical steps in Test Studio

Posted by

0

In this post we will take a look on working with logical steps in Test Studio.

clip_image001

We will understand working with Logical Steps in Test Studio using a Test Scenario. Let us suppose you have a Web Application as following. User will enter numbers in text input and click on the Add Numbers button to get the summation of two numbers. Summation of numbers are displayed in a span.

clip_image002

Now suppose we have a test scenario stated as below,

“If output contains 89 then navigate to Google (or perform any other tasks) else navigate to Bing (or perform other tasks)

We are going to walkthrough, how this could be achieved.

Start recording the test.

Step 1

Navigate to application. In this example test application is on local host and can be accessed at URL http://localhost:55391/demoifelseteststudio.html

Step 2

Enter numbers in both input text boxes

Step 3

Click on the Add Numbers button

Step 4

From docked Test Studio panel, select option of Enable or Disable hover over highlighting

clip_image003

And select output span to put a verification step,

clip_image004

Select the option of Build Verifications. Here create a verification step by clicking on Content then choosing contains from drop down.

clip_image006

Now minimize the browser and go back to Test Studio to verify that all test steps got created as expected or not. Make sure that you are minimizing Test Studio not closing it.

Step 5

In Test Studio you will find all the recorded steps so far,

clip_image008

Now from the ribbon click on Logic and select If-Else

clip_image001[1]

After selecting if-else, you will find two steps has been added. Hover over step contains if statement. You will get a green add button.

clip_image009

Click on the green add button to add a verification step as condition of if statement. Next you will find that a green add button next to the verification step (in this case InnerText Contains 89 of outputspan). Click on the green add button to select that verification. After that you will notice that that verification step has been added as condition of if statement.

clip_image011

Step 6

Maximize the browser in which we were recording the testing steps. And browse to http://www.google.co.in/ . Again minimize the browser and come back to Test Studio.

Step 7

You will find a step has been added.

clip_image013

Drag this step and drop on if condition step.

Step 8

Maximize the browser in which we were recording the testing steps. And browse to http://www.bing.com/ . This time close the browser to stop the recording.

Step 9

You will find a step has been added.

clip_image014

Drag this step and drop on else condition step.

Now you have successfully added if-else logical step in the Test. Go ahead and execute the test and you will find all the test steps has been passed with if statement

clip_image015

If you change verification step form contains to not contains then steps of else condition will get executed.

clip_image017

In this way you can work with if-else logical condition in Test Studio. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.

How to encrypt information while testing in Test Studio?

Posted by

1

Let us assume that you are doing automated test of login functionality. While executing the test you want to encrypt the Password information provided by the user to authenticate. Test Studio allows you to encrypt the vital information in the test steps.

Suppose you have recorded a login test as following. If you see in step 4 password is displayed in the plain text.

image

 

If you want to encrypt this information select the step and open the property. Open the property window for enter password step and navigate to Behavior tab. At the top of property window you can verify that for which step property is open. You see that Encrypt behavior value is set to false.

 

clip_image003

To encrypt the password you need to change value of Encrypt to true.

clip_image004

After changing this value when you navigate back to test steps, you will find password has been encrypted

clip_image005

So in this way you can encrypt vital information while executing the test. I hope you find this post useful. Thanks for reading.
