How to use eValid to support regression testing.

Fine on Record ... Problem on Playback

Postby Rafe08 » Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:32 am

I can record from my application and with no problem now; the application is
locating files and directory when search for it for example:

Each entry is to search within the directory for a <file name> or <directory
name>

All recording done and seems to be OK, however;

Here is the issue locating the file or directory when playback is lost with
Microsoft explore screen as pop-up windows and the playback seems
confused and start opening directories was not the recorded one.

Of course I can't see the screen, but I suspect that the
reason why the recording that adds a file does not play back
correctly is that you didn't delete the file before running
the playback.

That is, you have CHANGED THE STATE of the unit under test,
and eValid is correctly failing because it is being asked to
behave as if the state has not changed.

* eValid rememebers the internal state of a test, and sometimes
controlling the internal state is critically important. Here
are some recommendations about how eValid supports maintaining
internal state:

Here the "memory" is the file system on the machine.

You need to (i) delete the file after it was created and confirmed
or (ii) arrange to restore the system to the known initial state
so that your test is meaningful.
