Automated Testing Tool

Author: Damon Courtney, Gerald Lester, Lauren Vaughn and Tim Thompson

Abstract

This paper presents details of the design and implementation of a Automated Testing Tool for a Tcl/Tk based database application suite. The tool does record and playback of the of user interaction events, much like TkReplay. In addition, the tool also records and compares database interactions, display of error messages, and widget tree state.

Discussed are:

The advantages of building a custom tool vs use of generic tool in testing the application.
The "tricks" required for accurate record and playback under Microsoft Windows.

While the initial implementation is Microsoft Windows based, care has been taken to ensure that with minor modifications the Tool will run on Unix under X11.
