Where to start with iTest: newbie

Hi,

I just came to know about iTest today and looked over it and found it bit intresting. But Im really confused where to start with, becuase I never used a testing tool like this before. 

 

We have a product(like server-client) my manager has told me to try this tool with eval licence. 

 

So I downloaded  "iTest lite 4.0" and dont know how to start with. I would like to make a small automation to our webpage, lets say  login and logout 100 times.

 

How can I do this with this tool ? Please help me, also let me know if there is any tutorials(link)

 

Thank u

xmac

You can create a new session profile, and choose "web" as the session type.  Start an interactive session. This will open a web browser.  Everything you do in the web browser is captured, which can be replayed later.  You can add your captured session to a test case and replay the test case.  You can also add analysis rules to your test case that specify pass/fail criteria.  Yes, I recommend watching tutorials first.

Yes, I have been watching tutorials and its nice. But I have 2 questions

 

1) Is it possible to run iterative tests ?  (say I will click on "start capture" and do some activitiy ( login to my system, add a user, logout)  Now I want only the adding user thing to run say around 2000 or 3000(or infinit) items with unique usernames and email ids.  Is this possible ?

 

 

2) Is it possible to run test cases other than itest browser ?  like firefox or ie etc ?


thank you

Hi Xmac,

 

1) Yes you can run iterative tests either using the 'for' or 'while' looping constructs and add the steps you want to run in loop within the loop. Please find the screeshot attached for same.

 

2) iTest basically uses firefox as internal browser and if we want to use IE you can edit here,

session profile-->More-->Capture-->Browser

session profile-->More-->Capture-->Browser
