Record/Playback and Test Scripting

Appvance built Appvance IQ for use by software developers, QA testers, and IT managers. These three groups often have a wide variety of skills, backgrounds, and skills. Appvance provides many options to build tests:

• Appvance built the Appvance IQ Appvance Designer to record and playback test use cases quickly, easily, and graphically. Record/playback is often a good way to start.

• When your tests require looping, conditionals, and complex data set it may be time to move to script-driven tests written in Java, Jython, Ruby, Perl, PHP, and Groovy. Appvance IQ Test Designer exports recorded tests into these languages.

• Use Selenium IDE to record tests in the Selenese table form and play them in Appvance IQ.

• Use Sahi Recorder to record tests in the Sahi Javascript form and play them in Appvance IQ.

• Use Firefox, Firebug, Google Chrome developer tools, and NetExport to create an HTTP Archive (HAR) file. Play the HAR file in Appvance IQ to optimize Web pages.

• Start from scratch and write a script or class that implements a JUnit TestCase in any of the supported languages.

This unique approach from Appvance provides a new way to leverage an enterprise's software development, QA, and IT efforts resulting in major cost savings for the company.
