Hi James, I see this situation in companies who ware trying to become more agile and perhaps introduce Scrum. I see it materialising as the "my bit's done" thinking pattern where any one particular individual or specialism based team's 'bit' has no…

Hi Glenn, If I have correctly understood your question then you need to perform testing with a scenario where your hard drive is full. If this is the scenario which you are trying to emulate then there is an easy option for this. Start command prom…

I use a MacBook and I use Parallels to run a Windows XP virtual machine. Both Mac OS and WIndows can access the same files & data so it's not like they're completely independent. It means I can see how stuff works in Windows as well as Mac OS, so th…

Hi Glenn, Low disk space test is a key test in many of our test suits. Installation tests contains it to make sure the installer identifies it and don't proceed with installation. Other than that, we use a low disk resource test case where ever we…

Results Signatures and Auto Outcome Adjust

One of the area's I work in is automated regression testing of our CRM solution. We've been improving our test execution solution since since we brought the reponsibility for execution and reporting back in house in Jan 09.

In our world we have test environments that may be unreliable or defective, bad test data causing test failures and, God forbid, maybe even faults in the automated test solution... ;) So there's a fair bit of investigation required before we decide that a test failure really… Continue

Please provide me the 'QtpTest_AutoDoc.zip (http://testtastic.blogspot.com/2007/03/automated-code-documentation-for-qtp_08.html)'. I need to document the actions (*.mts) using natural docs.

Need to know the settings for the same

I read your article in google regarding Natural Docs.

I am a bit confused after reading its documentation. Can you please help me in this. I need to do documentation of my qtp scripts and libraries.

I followed the below steps:

1. I downloaded Natural Docs and Active Perl 5.10.
2. I edited the batch file stored in Natural Docs folder. This seems as below:

@echo off
set NaturalDocsParams= -i C:\VT100Automation\Nat\Input -o Framedhtml C:\VT100Automation\Nat\Output -p C:\VT100Automation\Nat\NaturalDocsproject
Rem Shift and loop so we can get more than nine parameters.
Rem This is especially important if we have spaces in file names.
:MORE
if "%1"=="" goto NOMORE
set NaturalDocsParams=%NaturalDocsParams% %1
shift
goto MORE
:NOMORE
c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "C:\Program Files\NaturalDocs\NaturalDocs " %NaturalDocsParams%
set NaturalDocsParams=
On run this displays an error as: ‘Can’t open Perl script “C:\Program Files\NaturalDocs\NaturalDocs”: Permission denied

Can you please help me in this?

Another thing is how does perl help me in generating the index files. I am a bit confused here in interaction of Natural Docs with Perl and then with my vbs files.
Not really sure about the configurations to be done. Help of Natural Docs is a bit confusing.

Please guide me in this as I urjently need to finish my task..

Regards,

Preeti

On January 29th Eviware and PushToTest Announce Partnership To Deliver Open Source Test Automation Solutions for Web, the future is even brighter. Currently I am not really happy on the way PushToTest and soapUI are integrated.
More over it lets you extend
One can directly create a WSDL project right in your IDE as a normal JAVA project with the same soapUI project eg:
WsdlProject project = new WsdlProject( "soapui-project.xml" ) WsdlTestSuite testSuite = project.getTestSuiteByName( "..." ); WsdlTestCase testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseByName( "..." ); //Do what ever you want to do.

All in all It is a great tool you will enjoy it.

E.g. one data drievn test case is equivalent to one manual test, therefore one data driven QTP script runs many test cases which are equivalent to many manual tests.
