Test Script Services and TestManager

Chapter 4 - Implementing Tests

Test Script Services commands can be added to test scripts automatically during the
following operations:

Recording VB test scripts with Robot.

Recording with the EJB Session Recorder that is included with QualityArchitect.
The Session Recorder lets you visually connect to and interact with EJBs. As you
execute transactions against the component, interaction data is recorded and
stored in an external XML file. Afterwards, you can use the XML Script Generator
to generate Java test scripts for testing the EJB.

Generating test scripts using QualityArchitect. QualityArchitect generates Java
test scripts for testing EJB components and Visual Basic test scripts for testing
COM/DCOM objects.

Use the following table as a guideline for including Test Script Services in different
kinds of test scripts. For details, see the documentation listed for each test type.

Note:

Robot VU and GUI test script types automatically provide most TSS

equivalents. For example, when you record a test script with Robot, the test script
contains a datapool, if appropriate. TestManager also provides built-in monitoring
and session functions.

Test Script Services and TestManager

Test Script Services are designed for use with TestManager. As a result, TSS features
that are included in any type of test script -- including custom test script types -- are
fully integrated with the TestManager reporting, monitoring, and analysis
framework. For example:

TestManager adheres to any synchronization and delay functionality in your test
script when it plays back (executes) the test script within a suite of test scripts.
