Test Creation and Execution

Improve testing efficiency by automating setup and execution of test scripts. QARun uses an object-oriented approach to automate test script generation, which can significantly increase the accuracy of testing in the time you have available. As you point and click, QARun records user actions and system responses into reusable scripts that test specific application functions. You will create powerful, feature-rich tests even if you don't have extensive knowledge of programming languages or application structure.

Test Verification

Simplify test verification with QARun's interactive process. No programming is required to make the verification or to record the application response to the log file. Windows, Menus, Dialogs, Bit Maps, Text, Time, Date and Numeric comparisons can be made using QARun's powerful checking features.

Test Results Analysis

Know the state of the application under test at any time. QARun creates a log file each time a test is run. It contains all the commands and test data sent by scripts to the target application, along with color-coded results of all the checks made. If a check fails, the expected and the actual responses are written to the log for comparison.

Advanced Data Functions

Reduce the number of scripts needed to perform a large range of tests. QARun's advanced data functions allow you to abstract input data into an external data file, so that a single script can enter a variety of data into the application to represent different test scenarios.

Create, verify and restore data with integration between QARun and File-AID. Use File-AID to create datapools for data entry

during testing. Invoke File-AID's comparison feature directly from QARun's built-in file check function. Then view the comparison results from the QARun log files, the central point for verifying test results. Restore your test database using File-AID, ensuring repeated tests are run without data modification.

Wide-ranging Support

Learn only one tool, QARun, to test diverse applications in today's complex IT environment. You can test web, Java and ERP/CRM as well as traditional client/server and emulator-based applications.

QARun's test creation and execution capabilities are available for in-house and purchased applications for a variety of platforms and development environments, including UNIFACE, SAP, Oracle, web and Java.

QARun is certified by the SAP Complementary Software Program (CSP) to provide a seamless link to SAP R/3 Release 3 and 4 solutions.

In addition, QARun is now certified by Oracle to provide a comprehensive automated software quality testing solution for Oracle 11i eBusiness Suite implementations.

Test multiple types of web enabled applications with a single tool, by using QARun. Support for web technologies includes ActiveX, HTML, DHTML, XML, Java beans, and more. Execute web tests independent of the web browser using QARun. Record test scripts under Internet Explorer, then run the same script under Netscape—and vice versa.

Java Support

QARun supports applications developed from the leading Java development environments. Because there are numerous components that comprise a Java application, QARun provides Active Object Recognition (AOR). This facility enables users to "teach" QARun about Java controls that may not be necessarily supported out-of-the-box. AOR is an "industry-first" feature based on patent-pending Java testing technology that enables testing teams to define their own support for customized Java controls and more comprehensively test their applications and components.

Central Repository

Create benchmark script libraries that are largely independent of incremental application changes. All QARun scripts, checks, events, and object definitions are stored in a central repository. Test scripts can reference many checks, events and object definitions which, in turn, can reference many test scripts. When you change the definition in the repository, all references to the definition are automatically updated.

Web Site Analysis

Analyze web site and web application performance using QARun's Site Check. This wizard-driven task lets you test for orphaned pages, broken URLs, bad links, moved pages, new and old pages, and fast and slow pages. The Site Check also lets you check single URLs.

Intelligent Test Scripts

Sophisticated error recovery through event logic. Decisions based on the error are required during testing. QARun uses a simple event-driven logic to build intelligence into test scripts. Test reliability is increased by enabling the test script to make decisions about the flow of the automation process.

• An event is a condition that is internal to the computer system but external to QARun.

Automatic Synchronization

Synchronize test scripts with the application under test. A built-in synchronization method automatically synchronizes the test script. No additional scripting is needed. Scripts written for web applications accessed via a browser can also utilize automatic synchronization.
