Functional Test Automation Of RCP With Eclipse Jubula

(Meet the Maned Owl Testing Tool)

-Rajesh

Acceptance testing(Early Stage)

(After-break wake-up Call)

Why do we test? Quality info close to development

User perspective at forefront

Time to react

To check whether system meets functional,

performance , reliability , security , usability and so

on

Why do we automate

tests? To avoid repetitive and boring

manual testing.

Greater test coverage

Decrease the time for Testing

Agenda

‣ What is Jubula?

‣ Why Jubula and how it is different?

‣ Introduction and Setup

‣ What is even handler in Jubula?

‣ Quick Overview and Short Demo

‣ Test execution using autrun and testexec

‣ Test execution using java code in Junit runner(solving Tower of Hanoi)

‣ Cons in Jubula

What is Jubula?

‣ Named After a owl called Jubula letti (Maned Owl)

‣ The Jubula project was born at the end of 2010 to deal with the task of

acceptance test automation and was created from around 85 % of the

code from BREDEX’s commercial testing tool, GUIdancer, which won

the Eclipse Award for the Best Commercial Developer Tool in spring

2010.

‣ Recent Version of Jubula 3.1 is a part of Mars Release Train.

‣ Provides Automation Testing for RCP application and targeted

audience are non developer .

Writing test Cases in Jubula is a piece of

Cake

Why Jubula?

‣ Treats the software as black-box.

‣ No coding effort is required to write tests ,saving time.

‣ Can create test case that are resistant to the changes in the Ui

‣ Drag and drop test specification from test libraries provided.

‣ Code coverage and mylyn Integration.

‣ Bridging the gap between tester and developer (Writing test cases in

java code)

Why Jubula different?

‣ Can start writing the test cases before tool is available.

‣ No coding effort

‣ No relative coordinate based clicking (Clicked based on object

Mapping)

‣ Tests fit better in to agile process and support acceptance test driven

development .

Cons Of Jubula

‣ Regular expression: Can only know whether it’s correct or not at

runtime

‣ Embedded database not stable for real time development

‣ Sound knowledge of RCP required for writing extension .

‣ Database report deletion and refreshing takes lots of time

‣ Importing big project (>100 mb) throws heap memory error

‣ No proper Error dialog
