Silk Test - Advanced Testing

Course Overview
An advanced course designed for SilkTest users who need to tackle the object-oriented benefits of the 4Test language. In this course students will receive step-by-step instruction on how to declare new window classes, store test data within object declarations; write new methods and verification properties; test non-standard (custom) objects; develop an API for supporting custom objects; access unseen objects using low-level events; and test Java and Visual Basic objects.

Who should attend?
QA developers and project leaders who to maximize their automated testing abilities

What will I learn?
By the end of the course, the attendee will be able to:
 

• Enhance window declarations and associate test data directly with object declarations

• Create and use user-defined classes, methods and verification properties

• Develop API’s and services for custom objects such as Grids and TreeViews

• Map custom classes to known 4Test classes

• Declare unseen objects by their relative or absolute location

• Use secondary visual clues to assts in testing graphical custom objects

• Drive applications with low-level mouse and key events

• Create user-defined methods for custom objects and classes to enhance their testability

• Call C functions using DLL calls

• Configure Visual Basis and Java environments and hook into external code

• Test Java and OLE objects by accessing their native methods and properties
