[ptt-users] AJAX, Web 2, and TestMaker

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Pascal: Thanks for using TestMaker. TestMaker provides three ways  
to create a unit test that may be then run as a functional test, load/ 
scalability test, and service monitor: Use TestGen4Web to record a  
Web application, Use the Network Proxy Recorder to watch a browser  
interact with the host, and write a unit test using one of the many  
supported languages.

The TestGen4Web utility does not support Web 2.0 and AJAX very well.  
It does not model the operations in a JavaScript that may include  
making asynchronous calls to the back-end.

I would recommend that you transform the TestGen4Web recorded file  
into a Jython script (use the Tools menu -> Import TestGen4Web) and  
change it to emit the HTTP calls to the target host that the  
JavaScript in your app is doing. Although you may need to learn  
Jython or one of the other support languages, you will not have to  
get a PHD degree.

We are investigating a way to use Selenium and/or Rhino to record a  
test, transform it into a TestMaker test agent script, and then run  
it in the TestMaker environment. With our current workload it may be  
a few months before this is done. We would be happy if Xythos wanted  
to provide an engineer for 2-3 weeks and we could get this done right  
away.

-Frank
