    Building and running automated tests with the Automated Test Framework

    How to perform the basic tasks in the Automated Test Framework.

    To build and run any test, you always perform certain operations:
    • create the test
    • add steps to the test
    • run the test
    • view the test progress
    • view the test results

    Other operations you perform often, but not necessarily for every test. For tests involving form steps, you might view the results screenshots. For some tests, you might need to pass data from one step to another. Some steps frequently occur in the same sequence in many different tests, so you can add pre-defined sequences, called templates, to a test.

    • Create new automated test

      Create a named automated test containing a series of steps to execute.

    • Add steps to automated test

      Create a series of steps for an automated test to run in a specified order.

    • Run automated test

      After creating an automated test, run it on a non-production instance.

    • View progress of running automated tests

      When an automated test is running, view its progress in the Run Test progress dialog.

    • Passing data from one automated test step to another

      Some automated test steps create data that you can use as an input to a subsequent step.

    • Add a predefined list of steps (template) to an automated test

      With test templates you can add a predefined list of steps to a test. Any list of steps that follows a set pattern makes a good candidate for a template.
