Automated Testing of Flex Applications
Automated QA’s TestComplete is a comprehensive automated testing tool for applications created with a variety of development tools and technologies, including Adobe Flex applications. Suitable for both expert test engineers and inexperienced testers, TestComplete allows all members of your QA team to participate in performing and automating a full range of essential testing types on your Flex applications, including GUI, regression and data-driven testing. Capable of “automating the non-automatable”, TestComplete helps you get comprehensive automated Flex testing done faster, more reliably and with minimum costs.
Effective Automated Flex Testing TestComplete includes everything that testers need to perform effective automated testing of Flex applications. It provides a feature-rich IDE designed for creating, managing, running and debugging automated tests and analyzing test reports, a wide range of built-in library functions and productivity tools that facilitate test development. While allowing non-technical and novice testers to perform test automation using visual table-like keyword tests, TestComplete offers experienced testers a choice of scripting languages for advanced test customization. This way, every member of your QA team can participate in automated testing, so that you can ensure the highest quality of your Flex products before they go live.
Robust Test Recording and Playback TestComplete recognizes all displayed objects in Flex applications and can automate even complex controls like menus, lists, trees and others. Its powerful test recorder allows testers to record various user actions and insert validations on-the-fly instead of writing the entire test from scratch. The recorded automated tests are robust and can be successfully played back even with no changes. TestComplete also supports low-level recording and playback, which allows testers to simulate exact mouse motions, clicks and key presses in the tested Flex application at a specific speed.
Comprehensive Application Verification TestComplete provides a complete set of checkpoints to help testers easily verify data when testing Flex applications. It also includes the OCR functionality that enables testers to retrieve and verify data from graphic objects such as charts.
Access to Native Properties of Flex Application Objects With TestComplete, testers are not only limited to capturing and playing back GUI automation. It gives automated tests access not only to all displayed objects in the Flex application under test, but also to native properties of the application objects. This way, testers can create even more powerful and robust tests that read data directly from and write it to Flex objects and perform advanced verifications.
