Hi,
I'm a QA intern at a software company. Can anyone help me out with webUI test studio? I have no idea where to begin and what to do. The basic idea is the company I work for eventually wants to adopt this testing tool to test. I was assigned to learn and get familiar with this tool so that before my internship is over I can give them a demo on this tool. I got the trial version from the website, got it installed and even tried performing few test (looking at the videos available). However it doesn't quite seem to work out for me since I don't know what I'm doing. So if anyone can give me a step by step procedure or even pin point to a video that might help I'd really appreciate.
Thanks,
Rubaiya

Hi Rubaiya Sarker,
First thank you for taking the time to study and learn about our products. We believe they are the best for Web 2.0 testing.
Not installed in the Start Menu is the Design Canvas Quick Start Guide (we should probably fix that and add it to the start menu). You'll find this in your "C:\Program Files\Telerik\WebUI Test Studio Q2 2009\ArtOfTest\Design Canvas 1.1" folder as a pdf file.
Did you also already go through our online video's at http://tv.telerik.com/search/library/webui-test-studio?
If you still have problems getting started after going through that information, please follow up here with details about where you feel lost of what isn't working the way you expected and we'll be glad to help you out.

Hey,
I was wondering if one can set test parameters or specification on WebAii Test Studio Q2 2009 SP1? If so then can you tell me how to do that.
Thank you

Hello Rubaiya,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by test parameters or specifications, but there are a few videos I would recommend for testing scenarios.
If you haven't seen this video already, it describes the basic input process (mouse clicks, typing, page hyper-linking, tables, etc) and verifications you can use for input/output mappings to test that a page is working as you expect.
You can then use this video to bind your previously created test steps to multiple inputs and expected output verifications using a spread sheet or database.
You can also create mutiple, smaller tests to be called from other tests for repetitve tasks, such as logging in, or easier test management as described here.
As Cody posted before, this link has further videos where you can craft advance verifications for Rad Controls, Ajax pages, pop up windows and Win32 Dialogs.
Please let us know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to test for registration? Data entry? Or any tests that requires to enter data.
If so then how?
Thank you

Hi again Rubaiya,
Sorry about the first link in my previous post, it pointed to the wrong video. It now points to 'Creating Your First Test'. So data entry is described in the video, and if you wanted to test that the data has been entered into fields, you can enter the data just as a user would, then add a verification step on that field right after.
On test playback , WebUI will enter the data, then verifiy that it has been eneter correctly. On submitting the data, you can add further verification steps that would check to see the page returns expected values.
And by registration, did you mean logging in? If it's logging in like onto GMail, then you can automate it just as any other page descrribed in the above video in WebUI. If its a Windows type log in window like in this link, then please check out this video.

Hi,
Thank you Nelson for helping me out. However I have few other things I need to figure out. I was wondering if WebAii has the functionality for data entry. By that i mean, for example, you have a list of data ( such as member list with logins to a certain website) and without you manually entering them to test if they work or not, the WebAii will automatically take those "logins" and test it for you one at a time. Is there any way that's doable? If so could you be kind enough to guide me?
So far I know how to test for verification, and data driven tests, but what I need is to convert a series of tests that are conducted manually into WebAii test cases. And in order to do that, I need to know all the possible functionality of WebAii test studio.
Also, is there any way I can test for Alt tabs verification?
Once again thank you so much.

Hi again Rubaiya,
So for the tests you are currently doing manually, please record them in WebUI as you would be testing them in a stand alone web browser instance.
For mutilple logins, you can bind the username entry test step to a data driven column cell and the subsequent password entry test step to another data driven column cell. So this should map a specific user name to a password and then you can then verifiy the login for each username/password combination.
You can also create seperate tests for different user types (admin, standard user, anonymous) or diffrent user roles.
For all documentation, tutorials, and videos on WebUI, please refer to this link.
For the Alt-Tab question, where you looking for the key stroke combination to change the window that is active and has focus or to open the menu options in IE/Firefox? If you could please be more specific on what operation in the browser you are looking for, there maybe some other work around you can try.
Best wishes,

Hi Nelson,
Thank you so much for replying to my questions.
It helped me greatly, however I have few more questions regarding the testing tool.
One, is there any way I can open two or more web pages and have the hover over highlight on them. When what I'm trying to say is, I'd like to open other websites on a new tab but the hover over features doesn't work on it. Second, sometimes I need to test for links, as in to see if a specific link is corresponding to a correct page. How can I test for such a thing?
Thank you for all your consideration.

Hi again Rubaiya,
So you are correct, the Remote Recording Browser only works in first tab with the URL it is launched with. If you'd like to record over another page, you can launch another instance of the Remote Recording Browser and test steps will also be recorded from that browser to the same test.
For html links, you can add a verification step on the href attribute in the Sentence Builder Window to make sure the link is to the expected page. If you haven't seen this already, here is a video on how to use the Sentence Builder Window .
Also, if you continue recording in your test on the page that the link goes to, WebUI will use find params from that linked page. So if the link is broken, the test should fail after the test step that clicks on the link.
I'll log a feature request for the Remote Recording Browser Overlay to work with tabs. Please let us know if this is not what you had in mind or if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Nelson

Hello again,
Thank you very much for replying to my posts and requests. It is very kind of you to do so. You have helped me greatly.
I have one last requests, I was wondering if WebAii Test Studio allows to duplicate test cases into another project. For example Project1 has a specific test case and Project2 can also be implemented with the same test case, can I duplicate that test case instead of redoing the entire process?
Thank you a hand full.

Hello again Rubaiya,
You can use the Copy/Paste operation between projects in the same solution. You can also add a WebAii test as an existing item with the 'Add' -> 'Existing Item' option in Visual Studio.
Hope that helps,
