I want to tell you about GUI Test Automation, the word GUI Test Automation is kinda strange to hear for you, i guess…
GUI Test Automation is about user interface testing. It is testing by making an automation on the graphical interface.
Let us say, you made a software which is completely fresh and will strike a great blow in the net. But, you do not want that the people see it initially, well you could always show it with your friend, but if you do not have only fates of the friends, automated software test is your solution.
Among the advantages that this software have is that it is not simply to emulate clicks of a mouse or clicks of button, this also allows the user to specify a certain sample of image to find the screen and to make a certain action with this sample.
The softs name is iTestBot, the software is quite powerful as it use Pascal syntax inside, this means that user can create scripts with variables, cycles (for, until), procedures and functions, include external unit… And the usage algorithm is very simple.
The iTestBot was designed for visual software test automation. You can run the iTestBot in a batch and process a set of tests. In comparison to other GUI test tools, iTestBot suggests cheaper and very easy to use approach to GUI tests.
The software will:
* return results of each test
* process automatically possible error or warning messages
* close test on timeout if it hang-up
iTestBot allows to emulate actions that user normally does:
* iTestBot - testing scriptRun and close applications
* Focus mouse on some image sample
* Emulate Click, Doubleclick, MouseUp and MouseDown events
* Emulate ScrollUp and ScrollDown actions
* Move mouse to absolute or relative coordinates
* Enter some text or emulate pressing some keys on keyboard
The good thing is that this software comes with a fully-functional 30-day version, in case you would like to test this soft and get dirty with it.
This soft will help you save literally hours of time, before Compare Suite I manually searched for matching item numbers from one list to another, because most lists came from different people and their formats are always completely different from mine, now I can just load both lists and using “search by keywords” I instantly know what I’m looking at.
Everything just works as I think it should — no need for looking things up to see how to use it.
The latest version is iTestBot 1.1, the latest version allows us to generate flexible test scripts based on image patters.
Altough this is a new software, and just have the 1.1 numbering, this software have received several Awards. And you know me, if it has lotsa awards, then this softs is really cool and usable.
