The document describes automation testing of the PrcView application using TestComplete. It provides 6 steps: 1) Launch the PrcView application and show all processes in the process list. 2) Get the number of processes currently running and verify that PrcView is in the list. 3) Verify the description of a selected module by comparing its actual and expected descriptions. 4) Check that the number of opened applications increases by one after launching a new application. 5) Save the current process list as a file. The document includes functions to make assertions and comments for exercises to expand the test steps.

1. AUTOMATION TESTING
WITH TESTCOMPLETE
Ionela Ursu & Adrian Apostolache

2. How to Create a New Project
→ Click File->New->Project->Generic Windows Application->Next
->Next->JScript->Next->Finish

3. Add Application on the TestedApps
→Double click on Tested Apps
→Right click on the TestedApps area. Select Add application and
choose your exe file

4. Create or Rename the Script File
→Right Click Add -> New Item

5. Open PrcView Application
//Step_1:Launch PrcView application
function test()
{
TestedApps.PrcView.Run();
}
Right click on the work area and click Run application. The exe file
should start and a report will be created with pass/failed output

6. The Launched Application

7. Show All Processes in the Process List
//Step_2:Click on "Show all processes in the Process list" checkbox from Tools-->Options
//Step_2_1:Click on the Tool button
var principalMenu=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PrcView", "Process Viewer",
1).MainMenu;
principalMenu.Click("Tools");
//Step_2_2:Click on the Options button
var toolButton=principalMenu.Items("Tools");
toolButton.SubMenu.Click("Options...");
//Step_2_3:Set to true the "Show all processes in the Process list" checkbox if is false
Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Application Options",
1).Window("Button", "Show all processes in the Process list", 13).wState=1;
//Step_2_4:Click on the Ok button
var okButton=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Application Options",
1).Window("Button", "OK", 1);
okButton.Click(1,1);

8. Show All Processes in the Process List

9. Exercise
//Step_2_5:Exercise - Check the "Thread Count" checkbox from Tools--
>Select columns and check the Thread Count checkbox

10. Number of Processes
//Step_3:Get the number of processes
//Step_3_1: Count the number of processes and log them
var count = Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PrcView", "Process Viewer",
1).Window("SysListView32", "", 1).wItemCount;
Log.Message(count);
//Step_3_2: Verify if the PrcView is in the list
var prcViewProcess = Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PrcView", "Process
Viewer", 1).Window("SysListView32", "", 1).wItem("PrcView.exe", 0)
for(i=0;i<count;i++)
{
var checkProcess =Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PrcView", "Process Viewer",
1).Window("SysListView32", "", 1).wItem(i, 0)
if(prcViewProcess==checkProcess)
Log.Message("The process PrcView was found"+ prcViewProcess);
}

11. Exercise
// Step_3_3:Exercise - Verify if the "TestComplete.exe" process is in the
list

12. Verify Description of a Process
// Step_4: Verify description of a process
// Step_4_1:Open the View->Module Usage form
principalMenu.Click("View|Module Usage");
var gridModule = Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Modules", 1).Window("SysListView32", "List1", 1);
// Step_4_2:Double click on the "7z.DLL" process
gridModule.DblClickItem("ADVAPI32.dll", 0);
// Step_4_3: Get the actual name of a company and verify if it is as the expected one
var expectedDescription="Advanced Windows 32 Base API";
var actualDescription=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Version", 1).Window("Static", "Advanced Windows 32 Base API",
18).WndCaption;
equals(actualDescription,expectedDescription, "The value should be Advanced Windows 32 Base API, but is" +actualDescription);
// Step_4_4:Close the Version form
var closeButtonForVersion = Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Version", 1).SystemMenu
closeButtonForVersion.Click("Close");
// Step_4_5:Close the Modules form
closeButtonModules=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Modules", 1).SystemMenu;
closeButtonModules.Click("Close");

13. Verify Description of a Process

14. Assert Function
//Assert function - for a text
function equals
(actualDescription,expectedDescription,error_message)
{
if(actualDescription!=expectedDescription)
Log.Error(error_message);
}

15. Exercise
// Step_4_6: Exercise - Verify Product Version for the next module
from the list
//...

16. Number of Applications
//Step_5: Verify the number of opened applications
//Step_5_1: Count the launched applications
principalMenu.Click("View|Applications");
var noOfOpenedApplications =Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Applications",
1).Window("SysListView32", "", 1).wItemCount
//Step_5_2: Close the Applications form
var closeButtonForApplication=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Applications", 1).SystemMenu;
closeButtonForApplication.Click("Close");
//Step_5_3:Launch a new application (e.g. Calc.exe)
TestedApps.calc.Run();
//Step_5_4:Count once again the launched applications
principalMenu.Click("View|Applications");
var increaseNoOfOpenedApplications =Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Applications",
1).Window("SysListView32", "", 1).wItemCount
//Step_5_5: Verify if the number of opened application was increased after launching "Calc.exe"
compareNoOfProcesses(noOfOpenedApplications,increaseNoOfOpenedApplications,"No of processed were not
increased");
//Step_5_6: Close the Applications form
var closeButtonForApplication=Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("PVIEW95DLG", "Applications", 1).SystemMenu;
closeButtonForApplication.Click("Close");

17. Number of Applications

18. Assert Function
//Assert function - for processes
function
compareNoOfProcesses(noOfOpenedApplications,increaseNoOfOpen
edApplications,error_message)
{
if (noOfOpenedApplications>=increaseNoOfOpenedApplications)
Log.Error(error_message);
}

19. Exercise
//Step_5_7: Exercise - Launch new application and verify that the

//...

20. Save the Process List
//Step_6: Save the process list into a file using File --> Save As
//Step_6_1:Click on File --> Save As
principalMenu.Click("File|Save as...");
//Step_6_2: Enter the name of file
var nameofFile=Aliases.PrcView.Window("#32770", "Save As",
1).Window("DUIViewWndClassName", "", 1).Window("DirectUIHWND", "",
1).Window("FloatNotifySink", "", 1).Window("ComboBox", "", 1)
nameofFile.Keys("ISTC_File");
//Step_6_2:Click on the Save button
var saveButton = Sys.Process("PrcView").Window("#32770", "Save As",
1).Window("Button", "&Save", 1)
