Common Test Automation Challenges and How We Solve Them
Problem:
Use of absolute coordinates Most automated testing tools will force you to determine the absolute coordinates of an element on a page in order to record any verification against it. This task gets even harder when it comes to dynamic pages.
Solution:
Automatic element detection WebUI Test Studio doesn't use absolute coordinates, so your tests will not break if developers change the application layout. A smart algorithm automatically determines the best parameters to uniquely locate a specific element on a page.
Problem:
Maintaining tests as requirements change It is quite common that business requirements change on the fly and so does the application under test. QA professionals need to go through the tedious process of analyzing the affected test cases and updating them, which is a time-consuming and resource-intense process.
Solution:
Element abstraction and reuse In WebUI Test Studio, the elements are shared among all tests in a project. You can modify a single element to have the change applied to all recorded tests. Thus, only unique elements are stored, and users can update them if needed, instead of modifying numerous duplicate elements in every single test.
Problem:
Multi-browser testing Testing your application across multiple browsers can create plenty of headaches. Different browsers use diverse techniques for content presentation which impose challenges to automating the testing process: separate tests need to be created for each browser individually.
Solution:
Record once, run against multiple browsers WebUI Test Studio offers an easy and quick way to test your web application in multiple browsers simultaneously. No need to tweak your tests for different browsers any more ? have a test recorded once and execute against Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Chrome support is coming soon.
Top Reasons to Choose Telerik Testing Tools
Fit for small budgets, suitable for big enterprises
Small businesses traditionally stay away from automated testing solutions because they are prohibitively expensive as they are targeted at enterprises. WebUI Test Studio is priced attractively, enabling companies of any size to effectively improve the quality of their software.
Tremendous productivity gains compared to manual testing
Unlike the value of manual testing, which is lost after each iteration, the benefit of automated regression testing only grows as you add new tests. Plus advanced features like multi-browser test execution deliver productivity and ROI that no manual testing shop can beat.
Effortless test maintenance even as your application changes
WebUI Test Studio doesn't use hardcoded coordinates, so your tests will not break if developers change the application layout. Furthermore, elements are abstracted so you need to modify them just once and reuse them in all tests. Those are unique advantages you won't find elsewhere.
Revolutionary UI ? now everyone can do tests
Whether you are a QA professional or have just started testing, you will find WebUI Test Studio intuitive and enjoyable. The test recorder interface is inspired by consumer handheld devices so all you need to get started is watch a couple of short videos - it’s that easy!
Better together ? Telerik UI controls + WebUI Test Studio
WebUI Test Studio is the best way to test RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX or Silverlight. The test recorder automatically detects the controls and exposes commonly used verifications. Easily build automated tests that guarantee your application UI is behaving as expected.
Seamless collaboration between developers and QAs
WebUI Test Studio comes in two specialized editions: a standalone tool for QAs and a Visual Studio plug-in for developers. Both tools use the same repositories and file formats, which makes collaboration between even geographically dispersed teams seamless.
