TestComplete is an automated testing tool used to test CALPADS. It allows creation, management and execution of tests for CALPADS. Some key learnings from using TestComplete include issues with script and name mapping maintenance over time, ensuring reusability and reliability of scripts across environments, and handling dynamic objects and unpredictable page loads. Going forward, guidelines for standardized script naming, test development with automation in mind, and a "three steps" process for test creation could help address these challenges.

WHAT WE DID, WHAT WE LEARNED
AND WHAT WE SHOULD DO

3. TestComplete
 TestComplete is an automated functional testing tool that
lets you create, manage and run tests for CALPADS
 Supports CALPADS during Smoke Testing, Regression
Testing, Performance and Load Testing
 Created several test scripts for Performance of
ODS/Snapshot Reports in CALPADS and Performance
tests in Ed-Data and also browser compatibility testing

5. What we DO today in
CALPADS with TestComplete
Still leveraging TestComplete in CALPADS for running
some tests
 Functional Testing
 Smoke Testing
 Regression Testing
 Performance Testing

6. What we learned using
TestComplete in CALPADS
 Scripts and NameMapping maintenance are the key
issues – NameMapping grows > results in poor
performance
 Re-usability & Reliability of scripts – reusable on different
environments
 Running Tests on Remote desktop using TestExecute
 Data/Keyword-driven
 Cross browser testing – Need to do browser level setting
 Change in the Environment URLs during Smoke
 Working with Dynamic Object – Handling object which
changes every time or occurred suddenly
 Page Loading – Unable to predict page load time

7. How to continue?
 Create a test script naming standard
 Rely on TFS Test Case# for this
 More information will be needed in the script header like steps etc.,
 Create a guideline “how to develop having automation in
mind?”
 Plan to automate the IVR, CVR functionality for online/Batch upload and
other major functionalities in both CALPADS/Ed-Data
 Use the “3 steps” rule for creating a test”
 1 – Use the recorder tool following execution steps
 2 – Polish the output code to match best practices and standards
 3 – Create the “asserts/checkpoints” manually for verification

8. That’s it…….

 What is the version of TestComplete tool
we are using at CALPADS?
