Why Maveryx is different?

7. No UI Maps. No Recording.
No recording. No capture. No UI
Maps.
o NO UI MAPS or Object Repositories to ‘learn’ & maintain
o No pre-recording or UI capture
o Test scripts immediately executable!
o Automatic UI inspection directly at runtime
o Support for all standard and advanced Java™ GUI controls

8. o “Classical” to Fuzzy matching algorithms to unambiguously
recognize and locate UI objects directly at runtime during test
execution
o Automatically accommodate UI changes without modifying the tests
o “Geolocation” of objects in the User Interface (TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT …)
Unique object identification

9. o Code-free Keyword-driven Testing
o Keyword testing driven from Excel™ sheets and XML files
o No coding required ⇒ short time to implement
o Data-driven testing
o Dedicated scripting API for data-driven testing
o Varying set of data sources : Excel™ sheets , CSV & XML files

10. o Standard Test Logging and Reporting
o XML ⇒ HTML test reports
o ASCII test logs
o Automated capturing of screenshots on test failures
o Test Execution Metrics

Testing a Java Application
Step-by-step

12. The Eclipse Plugin

PerspectiveJUnit integration Action buttons Report / Metrics
View

13. The Application-under-test
Enter Password
Invalid PasswordValid Password

14. Create a New Test Project
1. Select File → New → Maveryx Test Project
In the Maveryx Test Project window
1. enter the Project name (e.g.
“PasswordDemoTest”)
2. in the JRE section make sure that Java/JRE
6 or higher is selected

15. Create a New Test Script
1. Select File → New → Maveryx Test Class
In the Maveryx Test Class window
1. enter a name for the Package (e.g.
“com.maveryx.demo”)
2. enter a Name for the test class / script
(e.g. “PasswordDemoTest”)

16. Create the Launch file
To execute the application-under-test it is necessary to
create the related launch file.
The AUT Configurator tool is a GUI-based application
which enables testers to create, save and modify launch
files (⇒ XML files).
To start the Application Configuration tool on Windows:
1. select Start → All Programs → Maveryx → AUT
Configurator

17. The Test Script «Stub»
Set the full path (pathName) to the launch file.
e.g. private final String pathName =
"C:/Maveryx/demo/AUT/PasswordDemo.xml";
The static method startApplication(pathName)
in class Bootstrap launches the application-
under-test.
The static method stop(pathName) in class
Bootstrap closes the application-under-test.

18. The Test Cases
Test Case #001
1. Launch the application-under-
test
2. Check that the password text
field is editable
3. Enter a valid password
4. Check that the "OK" button is
enabled
5. Press the "OK" button to
confirm the password
6. Check that a successful
authentication message is
returned
7. Close the application-under-
test
Test Case #002
1. Launch the application-under-
test
2. Check that the password text
field is editable
3. Enter a invalid password
4. Check that the "OK" button is
enabled
5. Press the "OK" button to
confirm the password
6. Check that an authentication
error message is returned
7. Close the application-under-
test

19. Launch the application
Test Case #001
