| <P>OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2006)<BR>QA & |
| Testing<BR>Wednesday September 13th 2006 10:15 - 11:00</P> |
| <P>Getting started with automated GUI testing - the VCL TestTool |
| application<BR>The VCL TestTool Application is used to test the |
| functionality which is available via the graphical user interface of |
| OpenOffice.org.<BR>Step by step hands on session:</P> |
| <UL> |
| <LI><P>Where is the VCL TestTool Application?</P> |
| <LI><P>Where are the test scripts?</P> |
| <LI><P>What steps are needed on using the VCL TestTool Application |
| for the first time?</P> |
| </UL> |
| <P>The test scripts make sure that the general functions of OOo are |
| available and working. Automated testing makes it easy to check if |
| OOo behaves equaly on different platforms and languages with a |
| minimum manual effort.</P> |
| <P>Be prepared with:</P> |
| <OL> |
| <LI><P><B>An installed OpenOffice.org office suite</B></P> |
| <LI><P><B>The VCL TestTool application</B><BR>It is in the 'program' |
| directory of the OOo installation. The same directory where the |
| executable 'soffice' is found. On platforms others than win32 it is |
| necessary to copy the script 'soffice' to 'testtool' to get some |
| library paths set. The TestTool application is then started by |
| executing 'testtool'. (Which will start the binary 'testtool.bin'). |
| If there are problems with the newest TestTool application 2.0.4, |
| use the TestTool from the last milestone 2.0.3.</P> |
| <LI><P><B>The TestTool Environment (scripts and documentation)</B><BR>It |
| is available from OOo CVS system. You will need a version of the |
| program 'cvs' and execute on the command line:<BR><I>cvs -d |
| :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs |
| login</I><BR>(password: none - just press return) <BR><I>cvs -d |
| :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co -P |
| qa/qatesttool</I><BR>Since the scripts get nearly daily updates, it |
| doesn't make sense to provide downloadable archives. For this |
| presentation I put an archive together |
| of<BR>qa/qatesttool/errrorlog<BR>qa/qatesttool/global<BR>qa/qatesttool/framework/first<BR><A HREF="http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/OOoCon2006/qa_cvs_global.zip">http://qa.openoffice.org/qatesttool/OOoCon2006/qa_cvs_global.zip</A> |
