T68 - Automate Functional Testing & Run Functional tests after Software Upgrades
|
Task Description |
Record a script to automate functional testing & run them after any software upgrades to ensure everything is working as expected.
Let's say you have a big software deployment like Oracle, SAP, etc. and after upgrading those software to newer versions you want to validate if all the functionalities of previous versions are working correctly.
The following example records and test various functionality in the notepad application for ease of illustration. Many of our customers use Automation Anywhere to test Oracle, SAP and other software deployment.

Validate the upgraded software
The following example is recorded in a notepad window to illustrate how you can use Automation Anywhere to automate functional testing any other application.
- Open a notepad window
- Navigate to different menu items like File->Open, File->Save As, File->Page Setup, Edit->Find etc.
- Also test all the keyboard shortcuts for various functionalities of the application. For e.g. Ctrl + F shows a 'Find' window etc.
- Each menu item will open a new window for e.g. Edit->Replace will open a 'Replace' window. Record a click in the 'Replace' window by clicking on Cancel or OK button.
- Automation Anywhere intelligently records your activities in all the different windows. Now when you play the task again, if any of the menu items is not working fine and does not open the expected window, Automation Anywhere will report an error.
- You can also also use 'Log to File' command to log appropriate errors. For e.g. if 'Replace' window did not appear then you can log an appropriate message like 'Replace Window Not Found'

| Wow! This program is fantastic. I was given the task to figure out how to get a list of over 1000 contacts off of a website and into Excel. I was trying to write some kind of macro for days through Excel's VB extension and was making no progress. So I went online and found Automation Anywhere, it took me only minutes to write a macro to copy the addresses. I owe Tethys Solutions hours of my life that I was prepared to spend copying and pasting. Thank you so much Tethys" |
