New Generation Record/Playback Tools for AJAX Testing
1 like1,166 views
While some in the test community talk about record/playback technology as dead-end test automation approach, a new generation of open source record/playback test tools that every tester should consider is now available. Tools like Sahi and TestMaker Object Designer were built for AJAX environments and support thousands of web objects and the asynchronous nature of AJAX. Frank Cohen shows you how to install and use these free tools in your environment and record test scripts of a complicated AJAX application in IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Learn how to data-enable applications without coding, use branching and looping commands, construct advanced element target locators without using XPath, and package tests as reusable test objects to share with other testers.
