Enterprise
development teams today rely on performing quality
assurance testing across a wide range of IT and application
environments to ensure their applications are designed
and optimized for success. While automated testing
tools addressing various stages of the application
development lifecycle have been readily available
in the past, developers building out the presentation
layer or the user interface have not been able to
take advantage of this high performance testing functionality. Testing
the presentation layer, which is often built with
various plug-in tools that deliver essential functionality
driving the application, has been painful due to the
limited knowledge of the tool's object model by
the automated testing tools. This scenario has often
left developers either taking on the tedious task
of writing custom code to test their applications
or even not testing the presentation layer at all. Thus
the most important part of an application, the presentation
layer, is left without regression testing or even
basic user interface testing, leading to businesses
taking the risk that their applications might fail. The
SolutionA true innovation in User
Interface testing, Infragistics TestAdvantage for
Windows Forms is a collection of Custom Libraries
built for use within the testing environment. TestAdvantage
enables automated testing of the presentation layer
within your preferred testing IDE, allowing developers
to fully regression test Windows Forms applications
with user interfaces developed using Infragistics
NetAdvantage. With these Custom Libraries, the Test
Automation Engineer can quickly record and replay
script commands for such applications instead of using
generic mouse coordinates. Fast playback means more
test scripts run in a given amount of time, which
enables better test coverage of applications and ultimately
higher quality software.
