    Building and running automated tests with the Automated Test Framework

    Basic tasks in the Automated Test Framework.

    To build and run any test, you always perform certain operations:
    • Create a new automated test
    • Add steps to an automated test
    • Run an automated test
    • View the progress of automated tests
    • View test results
    You perform other operations often, but not necessarily for every test.
    • For tests involving form steps, you might need to View results screenshots from an automated test.
    • For some tests, you might need to know about Passing data from one automated test step to another.
    • Some steps frequently occur in the same sequence in many different tests, so you can Add a predefined list of steps (template) to an automated test.
    • Create a new automated test

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

    • Copy automated test

      Copy an existing test, which you can then re-name and modify.

    • Run an automated test

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

    • View test results

      View test results from completed test and test suite runs. Carefully consider the results of automated test runs and perform any corrective actions required to resolve any revealed issues.

    • Identify and resolve client errors

      Identify client error types to resolve them in client scripts.

    • UI test steps

      Test user interfaces by mimicking user actions and interacting with the visible components of a page.

    • Server test steps

      Test business logic and background processes by performing operations on the server.

    • Parameterized tests

      Run a test multiple times with different test data for each run. Create parameters to store test data for each test run.

    • Whitelisted client errors

      Add known client errors to the whitelist to allow tests and steps to continue running when a specific error occurs. Set the report level to specify what the Automated Test Framework does when the error occurs in future tests.

    • View the progress of 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.
